Step off of the small shoreline with natural ‘rock seating’ and Petoskey stones and head upstairs into this beautifully designed custom timber house with high vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring throughout, and a geothermal heating and cooling system. The spacious and open living room features a large sectional couch, gas fireplace, and plenty of windows providing ample natural light and views of Lake Michigan and the Leelanau Peninsula.

Off the living room sits a large, fully equipped kitchen with plenty of counter space, bar seating, and a polished-stone topped kitchen island. The room includes a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, microwave, and an automatic dishwasher.

The adjacent dining area features a large table set for 8, and is situated next to a huge window, from which you can enjoy stunning lake views.

Head down to the basement to find a game room, which includes a full-sized pool table, and foosball table. There is also a large, plush couch in the space, perfect for relaxing between some spirited games.

When you’re ready for some fresh air, head to one of the house’s spacious decks that comes thoughtfully complete with a porch swing, a charcoal grill, and table seating. There is also easy access to the lake and a lush yard, perfect for outdoor activities or a campfire overlooking the lake.

We had a lovely time. The home was beautiful, well kept and clean. The view and proximity to the water were wonderful. For us, the best part was the proximity to so many places- we spent time on the Lake Michigan beaches, downtown Charlevoix, a day on torch lake and a day in traverse city! After we left, one of our party left a bag with his laptop in it- the owners, even though they were not in town, were so kind and helpful in coordinating getting it back to us, so we are very grateful for that.

My 6 friends stayed here (I had an injury and was unable to go) and loved it. The views and surrounding area were stunning. Lots to do and see.
