This country house is surrounded by beautiful woods and singing birds. There is a pretty 1 1.2 mile walk on the property in the woods. It is private and quiet. The location is central to 3 paved bike paths that we like to ride on when we visit. You can also find many hikes in and around Sleeping Bears Dunes National Lake Shore. There are three bedrooms with very comfortable beds, 1 1/2 bathrooms, nice kitchen with appliances. We enjoyed our time and hope to stay again in this country house on our next visit.

We had a fabulous stay. The home was cozy, set in the country on a large wooded lot. It was a quick drive to sleeping bear dunes and close to Glenn Arbor. Gary was a responsive host and easy to communicate with. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit the area. Hope to stay here again.

Lovely slice of paradise in Northern Michigan

The property was very pleasant from the deck to the grill and the fire pit to everything in the house. There were great amenities in the house, including paper goods, plenty of towels, and beach towels. It was very comfortable place to spend the week. The accessibility to Empire and the National Lakeshore was perfect.
