The best of Up North!

Centrally located in the center of Benzie County. Situated across the street from the crystal clear Platte River. Includes river access with dock and bench to enjoy. Property is in the village of Honor, walk to grocery stores, restaurants and bars. Float down the river to Tipsy Canoe for a bite to eat and enjoy some Ice Cream with a short walk back. I also have bicycles, tubes, canoes, kayaks, fishing boats, pontoon boats, clear kayaks and clear SUP's available for rent.
