Two patios just off the living and dining rooms, one with a retractable awning, provide additional living space for lakeside relaxation and dining. There is also a den with a television for unwinding from the days' activities. The house is equipped with direct TV, a DVD library, Internet access, and books and games for all ages.
Five large bedrooms are cheerfully decorated and will accommodate several families without crowding. The master bedroom, decorated in colors that reflect the lake and shore, has expansive views of the bay, a separate sitting area, and a private entrance from the patio. Both the master bedroom and the second downstairs bedroom have queen beds and their own baths, one with a clawfoot tub. Upstairs there are three bedrooms: One with one queen and another with a queen plus a twin daybed with a pull-out trundle bed, share a full bath. The third upstairs bedroom is a large 'kids' suite' with two twins, a twin daybed and trundle, a crib. and plenty of room to play. Additional guests can be accommodated in sofa beds in the den (full) and living room (queen).
The wide sandy and very private beach is just steps from the back lawn (perfect for yard games), and has a dock, boat hoist and swimming ladder. The bay cove, which has calmer waters than the 'big lake', is ideal for kayaking, canoeing, water skiing, and of course swimming. The entire cove provides a large expanse of walkable sandy beach. We provide 2 kayaks (one of which is a tandem), croquet, horseshoes, beach volleyball, beach toys, and beach chairs so that you can fully enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
Ski:
Our home is just a half hour from the Homestead, which has the ultimate in family friendly downhill and cross country skiing in Northern Michigan.
