Reminiscent of a National Park lodge, relax in the hot tub of this majestic log home after a day spent enjoying activites and outdoor natural beauty. Nearby Good Harbor Beach in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park offers swimming and combing the sandy beach for rocks and shells. Your water activity dreams will come true with nearby rentals of paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, boats, other water equipment, and bicycles. Charter fish in Lake Michigan for salmon, lake trout, and white fish or take the ferry out to visit one of the islands in the National Park. Plentiful hiking and biking trails are available throughout the area. Leland, Glen Arbor, Suttons Bay, and Traverse City are within an easy drive and offer upscale resort shopping, art, music and film festivals, dining, casinos, golf and mini-golf. Wineries and breweries abound with available tours as well as plays and concerts in Traverse City and Interlochen Music School. Local restaurants feature live music if you prefer your concerts while dining.

With large view windows and skylights, you will be warmly welcomed with bright interiors in this four-bedroom home upon entry. Happy cooks will love preparing grand meals and picnic lunches in the sophisticated and fully equipped kitchen with plentiful prep space, stainless steel and gas appliances, and a full dining room. Grill provides the perfect outdoor opportunity for meals on the multiple decks, equipped with 2 picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, and 4 reclining spa loungers. Relax with a good book near the large stone wood-burning fireplace, curl up on the comfortable furniture while hosting movie marathons or sports games on the large screen TV. Enjoy friendly competition on the foosball table, with books, puzzles, and board games available for pleasure. Two bedrooms feature private balconies.
