The Getaway at Duck Lake is nestled away from the road on four acres of partially wooded property. You will pass through a tunnel of trees as you approach the home. Views of Duck Lake greet you through expansive windows and open living space. Stepping into our home you truly feel as if you've left it all behind and are enjoying the best of Northern Michigan - a wall of windows give you a bright and beautiful view of the lake.

Enjoy:

- 3 kayaks and a stand up paddle board for your use to enjoy on the lake.
- private dock
- Hydraulic pontoon lift and a small boat/jet ski lift
- Smokeless outdoor firepit and complementary firewood
- Portable pickleball net that can be set up in our spacious driveway

The home:

The large living space and dining room is bright and cozy. The comfortable furniture, locally inspired art, and fire place make the space warm and inviting. Open the double French Doors and step out onto the patio to enjoy 100 feet of private lake front. In the evening you will sit down to stunning sunset views and a good chance of hearing loons.

Everyone will find space and comfort with 4 unique/themed bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Three of the bedrooms (one king and two queen beds) are on the main floor. The master bedroom and master bathroom occupy the entire second floor with large windows facing the water.

A second, smaller living room features a second gas fireplace, office space, and a supply of books and games. A sliding door can separate the two living spaces if you need additional peace and privacy.

The kitchen comes with all the amenities for creating and enjoying a meal at home, whether you choose to eat at the indoor dining table or on the outside patio table enjoying the fresh air and lake views. A gas grill is available to enjoy an outdoor BBQ.

Please note that use of the kayaks/lifts, dock and firepit is seasonal - please check with us in the spring/fall regarding availability. Duck Lake has a public access boat ramp to bring your own boat or to rent and have delivered to the lake.

The property has plenty of parking for cars and even a boat trailer if needed.
