About this property

Big Platte Lake Waterfront Cottage

Come enjoy this shared waterfront cottage on Big Platte Lake!
This well-maintained cottage can serve as a great home-base for your vacation, or as your little "peace" of paradise for the week!
Enjoy swimming from the beach or soak in the sun on the dock. The water in front of the property is shallow and perfect for the kids, or those who want to wade. A picnic table and charcoal grill are available on the patio. TV (Spectrum cable) with Roku and games available for entertainment at night or rainy days.
The rental/cleaning fee includes all linens (pillows, sheets, blankets, comforters, and bath towels).
You will find all you need in the fully equipped kitchen (also provided: dish soap & paper towels, dish towels, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and basic spices).
Shared beach, dock, and fire pit (wood provided).
Please bring your own beach towels and water/beach toys.
Platte Lake is an all sports 2,500 acre lake with small mouth bass, pike, walleye and pan fish. The Platte River is just around the corner and is ideal for kayaking and stream fishing.
Area attractions include: Sleeping Bear Dunes (20 minutes), Frankfort (20 minutes), Traverse City (40 minutes), Crystal Mountain for golfing or alpine slide (20 minutes), and Cherry Bowl Drive-In (less than 5 minutes). In addition, lots of Lake Michigan beaches, hiking, shopping, antiquing, and exploring the great local towns (Frankfort, Beulah, Empire, and Glen Arbor).
