About this property
Family-friendly log home between Harbor Springs, Petoskey, and Mackinaw Island
The White Pine Lodge has a privileged location: it's quiet and peaceful but close to the best Northern Michigan attractions, small towns, and beaches only 15 minutes away. The large front deck is tucked into secluded woods and the back deck overlooks beautiful meadows and hills. Nature sings here, and it isn't called Pleasantview Rd for nothing! The only neighbors for miles are friends or family, and the fields are still farmed by us. A school house more than 100 years old sat on this property until recently donated to a historical society. Our relatives and neighbors attended that school, so the property has a rich past.
Geo-thermal heating and cooling makes this a very comfortable unit year round, and the heated floors are exceptionally comfortable in the winter. The large pine dining table and spacious kitchen help make family meals and time together unforgettable. Cooking or grilling is made easy with all the room. Jurek's Meat and Grocery, a short walk away, has the best meats in Northern Michigan for all your cooking needs.
The main floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The living room has comfortable and spacious seating and a warm gas fireplace. On each side of the living room are sliding glass doors for easy access to the balcony for the great view, fresh air, and starry nights. One floor up is the loft with a bed, a recliner and wool rug.
The lower level has lots of seating with many large sofas. There are 2 bedrooms down here, a full bathroom, an exercise room, entertainment area with a 50" flat screen, and a laundry room.
Bathroom 1 - Large jacuzzi tub with spacious stand in ceramic/glass shower. Bathroom 2 - Large shower/tub combination and cathedral ceilings. Bathroom 3 - Combination Tub/Shower

James took the initiative to reach out upon check-in, and was extremely responsive making our trip truly enjoyable. Highly recommend the property to anyone!
A beautiful log home with plenty of room for all of us. Close to Nubs and Boyne Highlands and Pellston airport. We enjoyed our second stay in this home!
Our family had a wonderful time at your beautiful VRBO!! Last night with the storm we turned off the lights and had an incredible view out the high windows in the front room! Very clean and host was great about communicating. Thank you for great memories!
We enjoyed our time at the cabin. Plenty of room for everyone and a close drive to different places we have always enjoyed in our past vacations to Michigan. We were happy with our accommodation choice for our getaway.
House was great for the size of our group; it was a nice central distance for the places we wanted to see. Kitchen was well equipped for the cooking we wanted to do. Thank you!
My friends and I loved staying here for our ski trip to Boyne Highlands. The place was very clean and so spacious for all of us. The heated floors were an added bonus after a cold long day of skiing too! We definitely want to come back next year!:)
this property worked great for our group and the itinerary we had. 25 minutes to Island Ferry, 20 minutes to harbor springs, and only 10 minutes from Pellston Regional for some of our distant travelers. We had a great stay. Thank you.

It was a great place to stay. My family and I loved it! We found 2 ticks in the cabin. But other than that it was amazing!

The log home was beautiful.
We had all the luxuries of home. The log home was well laid out. Convenient for the whole family. We would rent the home again.
We stayed at this property with four other couples. It was clean and beautiful. The property had everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable. James was very easy to work with and made sure that our stay was perfect. The property had plenty of room for all of us to be comfortable while we stayed. Would definitely stay again!!
We had our annual reunion here with three families, ages ranging from 65 - 2 years old and a dog. Place was great for everyone and enough kitchen and bathroom amenities. We spent a night outside around the fire making s'mores and laid in the grass star gazing. During the day we spent time at nearby Pelosky, Harbor Springs, and Mackinac Island.
This place was perfect for our family ski trip to Boyne Highlands. It was even more beautiful and impressive than the pictures. Very spacious and clean. Only 10 minutes from the slopes.
Owner was very responsive to our texts. I highly recommend this place!

Amazing !
We had a group of 10 stay this weekend and it was so amazing ! The house was clean and stocked. Didn’t have to bring anything , the owners were amazing and nice , and we had a blast! We can’t wait for next summer !
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful property. We were a party of twelve and never felt cramped. The house is huge with wonderful light. It is private yet close enough to all of the action. We spent on day on Mackinac Island and the other days touring in and around Petosky. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. The only “issue” we had was that there was only on bottle of shampoo for the two bathrooms. We worked it out. The house was spotless. We would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling in this area.
