Honor, Michigan
Come see why America chose Sleeping Bear Dunes as the most beautiful place in America ! It starts right here at M-22 and the Famous Lazy Ride down South Platte River . It is IMPOSSIBLE to remember the stresses of every day life while you are here !
Up until now it has been called 'The best kept Secret in Benzie County !' In fact a lot of the locals aren't too happy about the publicity ! They know what a rare gem they have had hiding here !
Seeing is believing and I promise you won't be disappointed when you see all this incredible area has to offer ! The Floor plan is very versatile (Total Space over 2000 sq ft w/finished lower level that has 4 ft by 4 ft windows !) and easy to group people together in many different sleeping arrangements, especially with all of the extra space in the brand new finished basement.. But please feel comfortable here ! We have a nice place but it is for vacationing ! Relax ! No fine art Pieces to worry about breaking. This is a place where everybody should feel welcome ! Multiple award Winning Panoramic Golf course are here. This is not an area filled with tons of shops and tourist traps and trinkets ! Natural Beauty Abounds everywhere and is FREE !
We headed north on one summer vacation many years ago and fell in love with those towering dunes perched along the Northwest side of Lake Michigan towering out from above the edges of the Forests below. This is paradise and we have never grown tired of exploring, walking a new trail or finding a new beach. Traveling just 10 minutes a little more north,south,east or west, whichever way you choose, there is always something new and amazing to discover in this Peninsula.
From your lazy trip down The South Platte River to The infamous Dune Climb up by Glen Lakes.
Don't forget to go to Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive for the most dramatic overlook in America ! Take your time there. Don't rush.
So. Here is our Dream. There is more than enough room and privacy for a small Family Reunion, (we have two full baths and a new finished basement ) or just a quiet getaway for two. The layout is very flexible and accomadate, yet modern. The location (right across from the famous South Platte River) is excellent !
Any sunny afternoon to explore the area is good for a quiet country drive down the meandering roads between the historical farmsteads of Port Onieda only to discover another stretch of private seemingly untouched beach all to yourself that goes
on for miles and miles...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh ! And then there are the Sunsets..

we had an adult party of 8 family members...3 couples and a father and son tandem...did a coin flip for choice of bedrooms and proceeded to have a week to remember... whether kayaking hiking swimming or just taking it easy this property has it all...michelle is an excellent host who can fill you in on some of the hidden gems in the area...one of my favorites of the week were gathering around the firepit at night...conversations just seem to have a little more depth when spoken by firelight...and everyone was quite thankful to have spent such quality time together
We had people from 4 households staying here (5 adults & 3 kids) with more than enough space for everyone. House is beautiful, with comfy beds, nice sheets and some fabulous pillows. Kitchen is well stocked with every spice, utensils, pots & pans anyone could need. Especially nice to have big pots & pans to cook for a small crowd. Screened in porch is great for the buggy evenings and the outdoor seating for meals on the patio was perfect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Location could not be better!! Right down the road from canoe & tube rentals on the Platte River, though the house comes stocked with kayaks, too. We spent time on the beach where the Platte River runs into Lake Michigan, at the beach in Frankfort (pure sand!) just down M22, at the beach by the Fort Betsie Lighthouse, hiked the Sleeping Bear sand dunes & hit the beach in Empire, too. The Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive to see the dunes cannot be beat…just 11 minutes away from this great vacation spot! Our group has plans to go back in 2025 for another group vacation! ?
This is a great property. We had 15 people. 11 adults and 4 children. We were very comfortable! The location is perfect! Definitely recommend this property
Convenient location. Easy access and parking. Good kitchen facilities. Reasonable price.
Our family was very comfortable for our stay here! The home was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed exploring the beaches, dunes, and small towns in the area. Michele was very helpful and accommodating. We would love to come back!
Owner was great. She answered all of our questions and the home is well appointed and in a great location!
We stayed here with 3 families. It was perfect! Enough room for all of us to visit, sleep, play games inside and outside! Great location to visit the Grand Traverse Area!
We had a wonderful week with family. Everything went smoothly. We liked the location and the amenities, including bikes, kayaks, life jackets, made the stay delightful. There is ample oom for a large group and a beautiful screened in room adjoining the garage. We plan to return. Michele was easy to contact when necessary.
Great location and beautiful property. Felt very at home. Owner got back to us and communicated well. Lots of room for a group of 12 to spread out and play together or go to quiet spot for reading. Even had a wild hen turkey visit!
Great location.
It was a perfect place to get away, fish and relax. Michelle was a great host. She was so helpful in finding local resources and made sure we hade everything we needed to make our Family vacation successful. We had 6 adults and 4 children the home was very comfortable. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your lil peace of heaven!
We have 8 kids(5-19yrs and live in a 4000sq home) + friends that stopped by. Stayed for a week. It rained all but 12+/- hours. Not kidding. We still had plenty of space and things to do. Between sites to see, ping pong, Roku, card games, our own personal board games, we could not have been more pleased with our stay. The road for the property we felt was safe for our kids to ride their bikes on. •It’s across the street from the Platte River. Nuff said there. The home overall is not a fixer upper. It’s in great shape, with plenty of parking. Owners are very easy to speak to, cordial would be the best way to describe our communication with them.
Loved staying here…plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 teens. Indoor and outdoor spaces were all as advertised. We used the kayaks and bikes…nice features. Will definitely stay again.
