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.
