Home on Hill with woods, valley views, fire pit, game room

Tucked into a forest of mature sugar maples high above the Jordan Valley, this family-friendly home feels peaceful, woodsy, and connected to northern Michigan’s best adventures.

Spend evenings around the fire pit beneath the trees, where the backyard feels almost like a private campground. Relax on the large deck with coffee in the morning or unwind beside the gas fireplace after a day on the water, trails, or ski slopes. Through the large picture window, enjoy seasonal views of the Jordan River winding through the valley below.

One of the best parts of this location is the access to both river life and lake life. You’re just minutes from the spring-fed Jordan River for tubing, fishing, kayaking, birding, and exploring, while beautiful Lake Charlevoix is right nearby for beaches, boating, sunsets, and lake-town charm.

The home is also perfectly positioned for exploring northern Michigan:

about 20 minutes to Boyne Mountain Resort

about 20 minutes to Boyne City

about 20–25 minutes to the north end of Torch Lake

about 20 minutes to Lake Michigan beaches

about 35 minutes to Petoskey

After your adventures, head downstairs for ping pong, arcade basketball, and family game nights before settling in for a restful sleep with memory-foam mattresses, sound machines, and room-darkening curtains.

Come visit Further Up North.

This is an Up North property in a woodsy setting, so expect to possibly have some rustic experiences. We professionally treat for bugs and pests but sometimes seasonally they still make an appearance.
