Unwind, slow down, loosen up, settle down.

If it's relaxation you want, you'll find it here in a variety of settings. We're located 4 miles from Lake Michigan, 20 minutes from Traverse City, and 40 yards from 104 feet of private, pristine, sandy beach.

Kids love it up here, the activities are endless. Plenty of stomping grounds, a shallow, safe beach, far from any main roadways, wildlife trails, and loads of fresh air that will act as a sleeping pill come sundown.

Guest House

Fall 2008 / 09 Renovation Plans

Presently our guest cottage is clean and a bit rustic with electricity only but the teenagers don't seem to mind at all. We plan to renovate our guest cottage in the fall of 08 or 09. Upon completion it will be moved over to the west side of the property next to the wooded lot and be updated with a finished upper loft, new windows, and paneling throughout. It will most likely sleep 8 people and have a very nice close up view of the lake.

	*We added two new bunk bed sets with full size bottom mattresses and twin size top mattresses. We also made additional room on the porch for a rainy day.* Back to Top of Page

The crystal clear beach is a wonderful place to hang out during the day and in the evening by the campfire. The beach stays quite shallow well past the end of the dock which is extremely safe for younger children.
