A 12' aluminum row boat and three adult kayaks included in rental.

This spectacular rental is a natural oasis from a busy world, yet accessible to many of northwest Michigan's popular tourist destinations. The house can sleep up to 10 people comfortably. The master bedroom is a loft area with view of the lake with king bed and private bathroom. The main level has 2 private bedrooms both with Queen beds and 1 shared bathroom. The finished lower level of the house has a private kids bunk room and a pull out couch with queen bed in the entertainment room with a full bath on that level.

Lake views can be enjoyed from the main living area and spacious deck with picnic table and outdoor furniture. Relax and let the stress of everyday life disappear as you hear the gentle waves hitting the shore while sipping your morning coffee in the screened three seasons room. This house has a very large yard leading to the lake - perfect for outdoor games. The dock has a seating area and ladder and is accessible to some of the deepest water on Big Platte Lake. You will find plenty of basic fishing poles and equipment inside the garage for your use. A 12' aluminum row boat and three adult kayaks are also available to use at your own risk.

About the host

Host profile image
We love northern Michigan so much and especially the area around Big Platte Lake. Matt grew up vacationing on Big Platte so it’s very special to be able to return and continue the tradition. MaryBeth grew up primarily in Traverse City and enjoys spending time with family when up north. Our careers have taken us outside the state for the time being but look forward to every minute we get to spend "Up North".

Why they chose this property

This lake and area is special to us. We grew up vacationing on this lake and in this area throughout our lives and now we want to share with you, just how special it is. The house has everything one needs for a great family vacation on the lake.

What makes this property unique

Private road access in a secluded area provides a safe and quiet location to enjoy a meaningful family vacation. Close to the best locations, attributes and activities that northern Michigan has to offer.
