About the host

Hosted by Lorena Burke

Host profile image
We want you to enjoy time relaxing with your family in this home. Jeff and Lorena live down the road a bit in summer so we are easily available in case of concerns. We enjoy exploring the outdoors, swimming, hiking, biking, boating, fishing, skiing and any other excuse to be outdoors. We bought this house as an investment in our future, and now live here in the north full time. We look forward to the opportunity to make your time in northern Michigan as rewarding and special as we have always found our own experiences to be.

Why they chose this property

We are certain that your time in The Lake House will be memorable. The house is spacious, with ample outdoor areas to enhance your experience. We go out of our way to provide for your needs so you can relax and enjoy your vacation time here. The seclusion of the home, with easy access to the pleasures of Traverse City and the surrounding areas make this a perfect vacation spot for you and your family and friends. The National Cherry Festival takes place during the end of June /early July. Come explore!

What makes this property unique

The fact that this home is on a quiet branch of Rennie Lake connected to but separated from the busier, more populated areas is a plus. The location is steps away from hiking trails on state land and it is a wonderful place to "get away from it all" in every season. The proximity to undeveloped land makes your view of the lake spectacular - no other cottages or homes can be seen. Even your neighbors to the left and right have maintained a privacy screen of native trees and plants. The house is big enough to accommodate your extended family, a place for kids down, adults up, or space to separate families with shared space in the living areas upstairs. In addition, it is close enough to make Traverse City easily accessible. You will love the chance to explore the area again and again.
