About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private, woods, trails, Duck Lake access, Kayaking, Interlochen concerts

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.

Lovely getaway for our family
The home is very nice, comfortable and cozy, plenty of room for the five of us. We enjoyed exploring the nearby attractions as well as a nice walk in the area. There was some rainy weather, but we took advantage of that time to play some cards and board games at the dining table.

Second Stay
This was our second stay at this house. We love the location. We took trips into Traverse, Empire and Crystal for skiing. Dogs love walking the trails through the woods. We got a lot of use out of the woodburning stove. Not super fancy but a great house that makes for an easy family vacation.

Great home base for soccer tournament
We stayed at the house for two nights during a youth soccer tournament. It was a great home base and more convenient and cost effective than a hotel for 2 adults and three kids. Check in was hassle free and the owner was helpful and laid back.

A Wonderful Cabin in the Woods
We enjoyed many things about out stay. The house was very comfortable and well equipped. We loved that there is lake access. We loved exploring the area. We loved walking the many wooded paths around the property. We enjoyed using the wood burning stove. The owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with when we had questions.

All the amenities!
We only had a short stay, but this place had all we needed and wanted. The living room/dining area had enough space to visit with family within appropriate guidelines. The location was peaceful while being close enough to visit Traverse City. And our favorite thing was using the provided kayaks to spend some great time on Duck Lake! We had kayaked before, but this made all of us want to do more! What great memories for our family!

Pleasant and cozy cabin in the woods
Very Pleasant! Owner was friendly and available and graciously offered for us to stay longer on checkout date due to no one coming in that exact day. The California king bed gave us the best night’s sleep. Bathtub and shower seemed to need some bleach and there was spider webs above head, but overall, enjoyed the quiet and cozy experience. Kitchen was well-equipped.

Home was as described. Actually larger then it appears in the pictures. Host was friendly. She came over to the property shortly after we arrived and showed us how to use the wood stove (stove is not the main source of heat, there is a furnace) we did not use the stove.

Very nice stay
We had 6 in the house of all different ages. The house was clean and well kept. I was worried there would be bugs but there were not and the roads to get there are a little crazy, not the owners fault, just listen to the owners directions and it will be fine and easy to find. We were not able to fish from shore because of the trees but we could have taken out the kayaks if it hadn't been so windy. Overall our stay was Great and the owner was very kind and easy to reach!

Excellent Place to Stay in the Woods
We arrived about 10pm on a rainy dark night.The directions got us there great with google maps. We enjoyed seeing the inside( great). The bedrooms of which there were 3 and bath rooms (2) were very clean and comfortable.The large TV worked great in the living room and the TV in the king size bedroom was a very nice touch. Seating in the living was very wonderful. Best of all was the kitchen( very up to date with new appliances) The stove was gas. We made ourselves breakfast the next morning. Relaxing and enjoying the views of the woods even through the rain.We had a wedding to attend in Traverse City in the afternoon so did not get to take advantage of that immediate area. It looked tempting but without the rain.Above everything, the price was very reasonable.We enjoyed it very much!!!!!!
