Be our guest at this beautiful Northern Michigan vacation home. This 2,000 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 2 bath lodge style home is nestled among towering hardwoods and offers scenic views of Cedar Lake. The interior features knotty pine, exposed log beams, ceramic tile, and a cozy fireplace.

Enjoy watching wildlife roam through the yard from your 100 feet of private frontage on Cedar Lake. The home is thoughtfully designed with family fun in mind and includes separate areas for adults and children, making it comfortable for families and multi-generation groups.

THE HOME
The main great room features an HD TV with Roku, a DVD player, and a DVD library, making it a comfortable space for relaxing after a day on the lake.

The walkout basement includes a pool table, board games, an HD TV with Roku, and a PlayStation 2 with games. This lower-level space is ideal for kids, teens, and casual evening entertainment while allowing adults to enjoy quieter time upstairs.

THE LAKE AND LOCATION
Cedar Lake is a peaceful no-wake fishing lake, ideal for morning coffee kayak trips, fishing with the family, or simply relaxing by the water. It is quiet, scenic, and never crowded.

The home is off the beaten path yet centrally located in one of Northern Michigan’s most desirable vacation areas. Located just west of downtown Traverse City, you are only minutes from Empire, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Old Mission Peninsula. It is an excellent home base for exploring everything Northern Michigan has to offer.

ABOUT THE PONTOON BOATS
As a free bonus for our summer guests, we offer the use of one of our pontoon boats. These boats are clean, well maintained, and functional. They range in size from 18 to 24 feet and are older models with 25 to 35 hp two-stroke motors.

They are ideal for relaxed sunset cruises and family fishing outings. Guests with basic boating knowledge and familiarity with two-stroke motors will get the most enjoyment from them. Full instructions and technical assistance are available if needed. Please see photos for a typical example of the pontoon boats.

WHAT WE PROVIDE
A starter supply of paper and soap products is provided and is typically sufficient for a two-night stay for smaller groups of two to four guests.

For a complete list of what is provided and what to bring, please see “Using the Property” on your My Trip page.
