Book your stay today and enjoy all Northern MI has to offer!

The space:
We hope you will enjoy our home away from home, which we finished building in February of 2023.

There are 3 large bedrooms, including a primary suite (queen bed and attached bath), a second queen-bed bedroom, and a third bedroom with two twin beds. The main bath features a shower tub and a washer/dryer are available for guest use. The well-stocked kitchen boasts a dishwasher, microwave, range, and a full-sized fridge/freezer (all brand new!). Many cooking essentials and dish wares are available.

Our space is great for remote work (which we do all the time), either at the desk in the bedroom or at the comfortable counter, table, or living room.

The large backyard is fenced-in for your peace of mind for small children and any fur babies. Additionally, the in-floor heat in the garage is perfect for storing skis, boots, snowboards and cold-weather gear for the next day's use.

Guest access:
Prior to check in, you will receive an access code for entry through the front door and garage side door. Guests are not allowed to park in the garage.
