About this property
Walloon Lakefront; Wooded & Serene; Stunning Waterfront; Bike & Hike Nearby
117' of beautiful, wooded lakefront property on Walloon Lake, nestled next to Mackinaw State Forest. Enjoy dramatic views of Walloon's turquoise water from the 40' X 15' main deck.
Knotty Pine interior provides true Up North feel. Kitchen / Dining / Living rooms are open concept with stunning lake views. Dining table accommodates up to 10. Living room with large leather reclining sofa and two leather recliners seats six. Living room also has a 55" smart tv over the gas fireplace.
Family room has large leather sectional with full power reclining seats, game table, and 65" smart tv. Great lake views and very open feeling via two story cathedral ceiling toward water.
Sleeps 12 with high quality mattresses throughout. Wake up to stunning views of the lake from the newly-added master suite, with its Reverie adjustable king bed (fully electric), large walk-in closet and spa-like en-suite. A private sliding door provides easy access to the main deck and steps to dock.
Bedroom two has a queen bed with similar stunning views of the lake from its windows across the full width of the room.
The first floor also has a bunk room with sleeping for two.
The second floor of the house has two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The first bedroom has a full-size bed; the second bedroom as a full-size bed along with a twin and a trundle. Both rooms have picture windows with full views of the lake.
All four bathrooms in the house have been recently renovated.
Additional amenities include full size washer and dryer, dishwasher and wireless high speed internet with Airport brand router providing best internet access possible in the house, on the deck, and all the way out to the dock. The house also has two tankless water heaters providing an un-interrupted supply of hot water.
The home is equipped with a Generac whole-house generator, ensuring an un-interrupted power supply.
An additional refrigerator in the laundry room provides ample storage for food and beverages.
Enjoy the water from the recently-expanded dock and shoreline deck as well as pontoon swim platforms. Two paddle boards and two kayaks are at the shoreline and dock. Great swimming for family fun with very gradual drop-off.
A fire pit with ample seating is located next to the shoreline deck - the wood pile is always stocked for your convenience.
The yard is fully fenced down to the shoreline, allowing freedom for any four-legged family member to explore the property untethered.
For larger groups needing a second house, we also have the property right next door available for rent. It's Vrbo listing number is 593798.
Please note: the hot tub on the property is not party of Vrbo listing - that is why there are no pictures of it in the photo array. It is only used during the winter months when the property is not available to be booked.

About the host
Hosted by David Graham
Laurie and David met and were married around the lakes in Minneapolis, and moved to Michigan after David finished grad school in New York. Moving to Michigan was like a homecoming for David who went to the University of Michigan for undergrad. Laurie quickly adjusted to the Michigan lifestyle. With their four kids and extended family, this property continues to provide very special opportunities to bond and share quality time together.
Why they chose this property
We have enjoyed year-round Up North activities for our entire time raising our four children in Michigan -- boating, skiing/snowboarding, golfing, snowmobiling. We've always been attracted to the lakes with Caribbean blue water. Walloon was a perfect match for us in all regards. When you add in its close proximity to Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Boyne City, who could ask for anything more?
What makes this property unique
After driving just over a mile through a 'tunnel of trees' along side the West Arm of Walloon, you complete the journey going up a gradually sloping hill. Before even getting out of the car in the driveway, you are taken away by the view of the lake, with its turquoise water and the thick green shoreline on the opposite side of the lake.
The upper deck and shoreline deck make great spaces for enjoying the views and sharing time with family and friends, but it is the mid-deck, built around a massive Cedar, that has just incredible, unique character.
The interior, with its ample but not overpowering use of knotty pine, is a perfect balance of classic 'up-north' and modern. Windows are the main construction element facing the lake - four of bedrooms have amazing lake views as well as all the living areas.
