Photos and Description of the Interlochen vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible sofa, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 8)

The cottage is built on a 30,000 sq ft lot. A winding unpaved driveway brings you to the garage (not open) and the cottage entrance.

The key feature of the property is the 500 sq ft concrete boathouse deck that runs right to the water and puts you a story above the lake shore. As the photos show, the westward facing deck offers spectacular sunsets. About half of the deck is surrounded by tall pines, which shades the deck most of the day during the hot summer months.

The cottage was built in the late 50's and my family added a master bedroom and 2nd bathroom in the early 90's. The cabin is carpeted throughout. Everything about the place is geared toward comfort and relaxation. The furniture is all upholstered and overstuffed.

Much of the rustic charm of the original place remains in this 1,500 sq ft cottage. The solid pine-board living area is dominated by a sandstone wood-burning fireplace with a limestone hearth. A wood burning stove sits adjacent to the fireplace and faces the small, open kitchen.

One the best feature of the cottage is the 50 linear feet of floor-to- ceiling windows that open to the boathouse deck and then to the lake beyond. One truly feels the outside, inside.

2012 Improvements:

- Resurfaced/rehabilitated boathouse/deck

- New management (local)

- HD TV

- Internet Connected PS3 Gaming System with Netflix

- New Hypoallergenic Pillows

- New Linens

- New King Bed.

About Amy Prause, Manager

My family has owned the property for over 30 years. I inherited it in 2009. We live in California now and decided to rent it because, quite honestly, the place is too special to let it sit empty 50 weeks a year.

Amy Prause, Manager purchased this cottage in 1978
Why Amy Prause, Manager chose Interlochen

My parents, sister and I started vacationing in the Interlochen area in the Mid-60's. When they retired, they bought this place. We also have three cousins that own properties on the peninsula.

What makes this cottage unique

My family has always believed that the 2,000 acre Green Lake was the perfect size...not too big, not too small. Boats of all kinds can safely navigate the waters. Even with Interlochen State Park's access to the lake, Green Lake is never overwhelmed with watercraft. Moreover, with the Interlochen Music Camp 10 minutes away, there is great music and entertainment available all summer long.

Hidden Gem on Green Lake

5 of 5
Submitted: May 24, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
This cottage was a wonderful find. Tucked away from the road in a wooded surrounding this lakefront home has an incredible view and it's own little cove for swimming. The cottage was very clean and had lots of room inside and out. The elevated outdoor living space was awesome - we enjoyed an early morning coffee watching a deer drink from the water's edge! Located close to Interlochen, this rental property offers a nice escape while at the same time being close to shopping, restaurants, bars and other area attractions.

Amazing weekend getaway from Chicago!

Stayed at this cabin for a 4 day guys weekend in September. The cabin accommodated 8 of us comfortably. Perfect location for golf, wine tours, dinners in Traverse city, hiking, etc. The back patio is spectacular for sunset views and bbqing. Water temp was perfect for swimming after long days of golfing and hiking. Easy drive from Chicago and you feel like you're half a world away. We're definitely making a trip to this cabin an annual event!

Spectacular Sunsets!

Thank you Dean for sharing this awesome property on Green Lake! The spectacular sunsets from the boathouse deck, just outside the front door, were the best! We were instantly impressed as we drove down the driveway in the woods to the cabin. It was very comfortable with easy access for my 83 year old mother who had the best vacation ever! You truly do feel outside while being indoors because of the wonderful views of the lake through the gigantic windows.
We spent lots of time relaxing on the lake, enjoying the area, and making special memories! We can't wait to return to the wonderful cabin in the woods next summer!
Owner's Response: Thanks Mary...you're the best!
