About this property
Beautiful Big Platte Lake Shared Waterfront Rental Home
Come and relax in this beautifully remodeled vacation home with shared frontage on all-sports Big Platte Lake. Sit back and enjoy gorgeous lake views from the great room, bedroom, large deck, fire pit or dock. This rental features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. It offers every comfort & convenience of home. Cozy-up in front of the stone surround gas fireplace, in the vaulted living room sporting beautiful Pergo floors. There is a clothes washer/dryer and a dishwasher making your day-to-day easier.
Refuel in this great location on the quiet part of the lake with easy access to the Upper Platte River for fall salmon fishing. Enjoy kayaking or tubing the Lower Platte River and letting the current take you to Lake Michigan. This home is located near Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore named Good Morning America's "Most Beautiful Place In America" in 2011 with the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive and the rigorous dune climb at Sleeping Bear Dunes. You are not far from Lake Michigan's beaches & hiking trails. You are also close to Crystal Mountain for golfing. Enjoy exploring the antique shops, craft shops and restaurants in the villages of Frankfort, Beulah, Empire, and Glen Arbor!
Visit the Little River Casino (30 minutes south), explore downtown Traverse City and it's annual Cherry Festival on July 4th (40 minutes east), and the Cherry Bowl Drive-in for a one-of-a-kind 50’s-style drive-in just three miles down the road!
This quiet get-away is within your reach. Enjoy a favorite author on the quiet lakeshore or on the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan. Make time for Petoskey rock searches, birdwatching, games and a campfire with the family. Be amazed at the meteor showers in the dark of the "up north" over the lake. Listen for the call of the loons at dusk and the cry of the eagles during the day. These are the moments that memories are made of!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Marjorie McGlynchey
My family were some of the first pioneers of Benzie County. My Great-great grandfather Herman Baatz owned a sawmill on the west end of Deadstream Road in 1892. He homesteaded an area connecting Big Platte and Little Platte Lake. My mother was born one hundred years ago on Zimmerman Road in the white farm house that sits on the top of the hill. Her dad built a cottage on the south shore of Platte Lake in 1943. I've been spending summers on the lake all my life. It is a great place to be.
Why they chose this property
This 1,290 sq ft property built in 1950 was originally the primary home for the resort's owner. They rented out the five smaller cabins to guests during the summer and fall and then closed them up during the winter. This home has 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms and offers a lot of room and conveniences other smaller cottages do not have.
What makes this property unique
Two bathrooms, a dish washer, clothes washer and clothes drier.
