Hot Tub | Private Lake Lot | EV Charger | Trails

Escape to your own private oasis at this secluded retreat, where you can soak in a 6-person hot tub while taking in stunning nature views. Inside, you`ll find an open layout perfect for spending quality time with your loved ones. Cozy up by the fireplace and catch a movie on the 65` TV, or challenge your family to board games and video game battles.

But the real highlight of this property is the outdoor space, with a private backyard featuring a hot tub, igloo, yard games, and a firepit. Recharge your electric vehicle with the area`s only 220 EV charger, while the kids have a blast in the fully-stocked kitchen and kid-friendly bedrooms.

Don`t forget to take advantage of our private lakefront access - without the lakefront price. We own a separate lot on the lake, where you can fish, kayak, swim, and enjoy the sunset. Just a short walk down a scenic nature trail will take you there (see photo of the walking trail).

And there`s even more to explore in the surrounding area. We are located in Northern (lower peninsula) Michigan right in the snow belt so we get lots of snow! Take a dip in the community pool, play at the parks, or head to the nearby inland lakes for even more water activities. For the thrill-seekers, there are ATV and dirt bike trails within the subdivision and access to main trails right from the house.

Surrounded by nature, yet equipped with all the modern amenities you could need, this split ranch design with vaulted ceilings is the perfect getaway for families and friends. Come unwind, relax, and make unforgettable memories at our private retreat. Book your stay now and experience the ultimate escape.
