Remodelled country house.

House was clean. Communication with owner was excellent. Rural setting on a main road. On site garden was quaint.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I from a small town in Michigan. We currently live outside of Chicago, but love coming to Northern Michigan whenever we can.

Why they chose this property

Our place is halfway between Ludington and Pentwater and about 5 minutes to a great public beach. Easy to go to the wineries, disc golfing, blueberry picking, kayaking or have a great beach day.

What makes this property unique

We have a small 5 hole disc golf course throughout our woods, a great fire pit and a large lawn to play corn hole or just hang out.
