Modern home located at the end of a sandy two track, private with easy access to many attractions. Township Permit # PSTR 23-050. Located between Duck and Green Lake, with joint lake access to Duck Lake. Close to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Interlochen Arts Academy Events, and Interlochen State Park, Crystal Mountain Ski and Golf Resort. There are three bedrooms for six guests plus two age 15 or under. There are two full bathrooms (one with a shower and one with a vintage tub), a fully loaded, newly renovated kitchen, washer and dryer, satellite TV in living room and Master bedroom. Gas grill on patio. Wood burning stove in living room.

Our house is not on Duck Lake but we do share lake access just at the end of our road. Lake access 1/10 of a mile, joint access with boat mooring available. Due to swimmers itch swimming is safe waste deep but lengthy wading in the shallow is risky. I have been swimming in Duck Lake for 11 years and have never had swimmers itch, as long as you are careful and towel off the risk is very low. There are areas of the lake where you can wade and play frizbee, etc without concern but you need to boat there, thus a boat or kayak is a great way to enjoy this lake. We have provided 2 kayaks complimentary with the house. State Park and Interlochen Arts Academy 1.5 miles north. State park has a beach area and the Arts Academy houses many prominent concerts and performances in multiple art forms. Just a short distance away from Traverse City, MI, host of the National Cherry Festival, Traverse City Film Festival. Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsula's with over 20 vineyards. Many lakes, rivers and beaches within 20 minute radius. Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes 30 minutes. Many golf resort opportunities: Grand Traverse Resort, Arcadia Bluffs, Crystal Mountain and many other smaller courses. State Park and Interlochen Arts Academy 1.5 miles north.

    Nancy is an excellent host. The house is clean and spacious. The location is excellent for long walks and kayaking. My dog gave it 5 stars for squirrel watching from the living room and back yard. We loved the quiet, wooded setting.

    Very comfortable house to stay in. It was nice to have two bathrooms. We were in town for a family reunion so did not get a chance to use the lake. The host was good at keeping us updated on things and providing additional information. I would recommend this Vrbo.

    We enjoyed our stay in Interlochen. Overall location is fantastic for enjoying Sleeping Bear Dunes, Frankfort, Traverse City, Leelanau area, etc. Also our favorite beach is Onekema (40 minute drive but not busy at all and absolutely gorgeous). The house was clean, beds were comfortable, living room was nice and the kitchen was amazing. And the grill was very nice as well. Our only criticism is that some of the soft goods (towels, floor mats, etc.) were aged and worn. Also, there's only one shower on the main level. There's a clawfoot tub upstairs that has a handheld shower with no shower curtain (a clawfoot shower conversion kit would solve this easily and make it useable as a tub & shower). Also, I had to clean the kayaks in the lake prior to using (I think we may have been the first to use since the winter - they were very dirty and had many spiders in them). But overall a it was a very nice stay and I would stay here again.

    Location is fantastic - dogs able to run freely in woods/trails directly from the private property. The small things in the house need updating(dishes, smaller maintenance items, etc) and a 2nd shower would be nice. Otherwise this is a great property with fantastic owners

    This is a very comfortable, clean house in the woods. The kitchen is well equipped and the host was very responsive to my questions and comments. We didn't use the kayaks because we went to my brother's house during the day and used theirs.

    The house itself definitely gets a 9/10. It was very clean upon arrival, had beautiful big windows to view nature surrounding the house, and had everything you needed to be comfortable during your stay. The location felt safe and had outdoor seating options which was very nice. The host also pointed out the reverse osmosis water opinions in the kitchen, which was great! Unfortunately due to an interaction with the host that left us all feeling uneasy and hesitant to reach out with any further questions during our stay brought the overall rating down. Upon inquiring about the gym that was listed under amenities, along with the overabundance of black and grey mold colonies in the upstairs AC unit, the host had a very cold interaction with us. I messaged the host to ask if there were any supplies for us to clean out the mold so we could use the unit (it was pretty hot upstairs), the host was very quick to respond and came over within an hour with supplies. Unfortunately upon inspection of the AC unit with the host, we were questioned on how we knew it was mold, and if we went to school to identify it. Three of us in the group have bachelor's of science degrees and were quite taken back by that unnecessary comment. The inside of the unit was covered in mold, easy to see. We felt extremely uncomfortable after the interaction. The next day the host did apologize for the gym being falsely listed, which was appreciated, maybe they had a bad day prior?
