About this property
Beautiful Walloon Lake Home - 160 ft of private frontage, Pontoon Boat option
Lakefront home on Walloon Lake - one of Michigan's finest inland lakes, some 12 miles long.
Nestled in the center of northwest Michigan's lower peninsula - God's country to many.
An all sports lake - crystal clear water, surrounded by hills, millions of trees, and multi-million dollar homes.
Located on the north arm of the lake - a quiet neighborhood, calm waters, secluded and rural area - 6 miles south of Petoskey.
A very unique property - with 160 ft of private frontage, 250 ft deep lot, 1 acre in size, with split rail fence and trees on its boundaries.
Sand beach across the entire lake frontage - no rocks, no weeds, no reeds, no dropoff, and no road.
Near the waters edge - a bonfire pit, with fire wood, a private dock, and swim raft.
Gentile slope from the lake and beach up to the house - no road, no cliff, no steps to the house, only rich grass, a few trees.
The large relatively level grass yard near the lake is great for all sorts of summer fun activities.
A 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 1700 sf secluded ranch home, overlooking the lake - true up north character.
All living is on one floor, same elevation as the deck and parking your cars, well-suited for grandma or handicapped - full basement underneath is used only for storage.
Updated kitchen is fully equipped, first floor laundry room, newly remodled bathrooms, etc.
Large deck overlooking the lake, with glass railings, deck furniture, Weber charcoal and gas BBQs, lawn furniture.
Year around home sleeps 10, comfortable mattresses, fully equiped kitchen, central A/C, washer & dryer, 3 TVs, internet, cable TV, and more.
Property Includes a rowboat, 2 kayaks, and lifejackets.
Available anytime throughout the year, 2 night minimum - but by "week only" in the summer (Saturday to Saturday, 6/15 to Labor Day, ).
Also, an optional 2022 Bennington pontoon boat, with 150 hp Yahama, electric lift Shore Station - avaliable at a very reasonable price - further details below.
Indian Garden road behind - winding, hilly, heavily wooded, one of our up north scenic roads.
Across the road - a land preserve, very large wooded area, some great walking paths, nearby entrance.
Other features - clean linens, ample parking, handicap ready, work area desk, boat & equipment rentals available closeby,
6 miles to Petoskey - numerous restaraunts, shops, stores, parks, golf courses, ski hills, winerys, Odawa Casino, and much more.
Close to Lake Michigan, Bay Harbor, Harbor Springs, Charlevoix, Boyne City, Boyne Mountain, Boyne Highlands, 45 minutes to Mackinaw Island and the Bridge.
Property manager resides close by, property owner is always available by phone and email.

NO SMOKING ALLOWED.
One special and unique feature of this property is the very large and level grass yard by the lake - great for all kind of games and family fun.
Another special feature of this property is the very large wooded area (Nature Preserve) right across the road - there are several very nice walking paths in these woods for you to enjoy during your stay (anytime during the year). The entrance to one of the key paths is just 150 ft (south) from our driveway on Indian Garden Rd. - you can enter and walk in the woods for miles.
Amenities: Updated kitchen includes 2 sinks, main refrigerator with ice maker, 2nd under cabinet refrigerator, stove, microwave, cooking utensils, etc. Laundry room with washer, dryer, and laundry tub. Internet, cable TV, etc.
Activities (on site or nearby): Hiking, biking, golf, tennis, fishing, shopping, restaurants, cinemas, museums, sightseeing, swimming, boating, sailing, water skiing, windsurfing, jet skiing, downhill skiing, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, sledding. Nature Preserve with nice walking paths in the woods directly across the road.
Nearby golf courses: Bay Harbor (2 courses), Boyne Mountain (2 courses), Boyne Highlands (4 courses), Hidden River Golf & Casting Club, Chestnut Valley, Belvedere, Dunmaglas, Springbrook (less expensive, more casual).
Regarding bringing your dog: You may be allowed to bring your dog - specifics "must be approved by the property owner in advance" - there will be a fee and specific requirements. You will need to contact the owner directly and work out the details.
Renter will be provided with a map, door key combination, and complete house instructions prior to the rental period. Normal check-in time is 4 pm, check-out time is 11:00 am.
Optional Pontoon Boat Rental: An option available to you when you rent this house - rent my brand new 2023 Bennington Pontoon Boat, 22 ft with a Yahama 150 hp outboard motor (pictures included here). Rental cost this summer is only $1600/week (about one third the cost for renting a pontoon boat at the marina) - Contact the owner for further details on this option.

Why they chose this property
Michigan's northwest lower peninsula is the best part of the state - lots of hills, trees, water, quaint little towns, excellent restaurants & shops, major casino, many golf courses, boating, swimming, fishing, skiing, etc. Walloon Lake is one of the finest inland lakes in Michigan.
What makes this property unique
This property features 160 ft. of private frontage on Walloon Lake, one of Michigan's finest inland lakes - only 6 miles south of Petoskey, Michigan and close to other interesting towns, activities and places to see. Quiet in nature, our 1 acre property is largely surrounded by trees - behind our property on the other side of the road is a large woods (Nature Preserve), with some very nice walking paths. Walloon Lake is approximately 12 miles long, with crystal clear water, surrounded by millions of trees and numerous multi-million dollar houses. Many renters desire use of a pontoon boat - so we make our pontoon boat available as an option to our renters at a very reasonable price.
