About this property

FAMILY Lakehouse - LOADS of FUN

Situated central to northern Michigan in Grayling our lakehouse has a beautiful 100 ft of water frontage with kayaks, paddle boat, bikes and paddle boards included in rental. The all sports lake is clear with shallow entry for ~90 feet. Perfect for games and swimming.
The house has been recently renovated and exceptionally clean. The open concept kitchen living room make for perfect family nights by the fireplace, playing games and entertaining. With 3 bedrooms and a bonus room (pull out couches) we can sleep 8 when sharing beds.
You can find local nature parks, hiking, trails for snowmobiling and of course swimming at the lake. We are within 40 min from Traverse City and several major MI ski hills (Caberfae, Otsego, Tree tops, Shush, Boyne). We are a 5 minute drive into downtown Grayling with many cute shops and local breweries.
The quiet lake views and firepit bring fun and togetherness for everyone that visits. NO LARGE PARTIES OF ANY KIND

Wonderful Quiet Vacation Spot

We had a wonderful family vacation at this home on the lake! We stay at a different location every year with our extended family and this was by far the favorite we have ever stayed in. We all decided this one is worth repeating and hope to come back again!

We had a great time staying at the lake house. We all love the views of the lake and the kids had fun playing in the yard and digging tunnels and even the little teeny sled hill on the other side of the barn was fun for them. Super helpful that Hanson hills was only a mile down the road. The kids went downhill skiing and the parents went cross country and some downhill. So much fun was had. Thank you. We liked how stocked the house was with the few little extra things like cooking, oil etc. That was nice. And thanks for the nice note.

Family time

We really enjoyed our stay. My husband and I enjoyed coming with both of our adult children and their family. There was plenty of space for all of us. Great lake access. We were able to use our boat. Our son and granddaughter also used the provided paddle boat and paddle board. We enjoyed watching the sunset over the lake. We played Cornhole and enjoyed the deck. Thanks large open living room and kitchen were fantastic for relaxing family time. We look forward to staying here again.
