This is a cute 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in Interlochen with shared lake access to Green Lake (including a shared dock) , which is a scenic natural lake just southwest of Traverse City. The home was recently renovated with a number of new features including new A/C, new hot water heater, and new appliances! It has cable television and great cable WiFi! The home is in a great location that is quiet, peaceful, and relaxing; but just 21 miles (about a 30-minute drive) from downtown Traverse City!
We have a local property manager that is available to address any guest issues or concerns.
This great property that sits on 10 private acres has shared access to Green Lake as well as private access to the the Betsie River (which flows from Green Lake out to Lake Michigan). This makes it ideally suited for nature lovers as well as people that love boating or fishing. Green Lake is suitable for motorboats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards and, where the property is located, the Betsie River is great for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. (It's really too shallow for motorboats.)
The property is technically in Interlochen, Michigan, but it is only 1 mile from the unincorporated village of Karlin, Michigan, which has a cute little family restaurant and a little local grocery store. The village of Interlochen itself is about 7 miles northeast of the property. Interlochen is worldly renowned for the Interlochen Center for the Arts, which is a very prestigious art school. Interlochen has a nice collection of specialty stores, restaurants, cafes, and a couple grocery stores.
A great thing about this property is its proximity to so many other northern MIchigan attractions:
* Interlochen State Park is only 6 miles from the property. It has the distinction of being the very first state park in Michigan and it has an excellent array of hiking trails as well as access to both Green Lake and Duck Lake for swimming and fishing.
* Downtown Traverse City, with a wonderful collection of shops, restaurants, cafes, and entertainment options, is only 21 miles to the northeast of the property!
* The start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is only 22 miles to the northwest of the property!
* Crystal Lake and the cute little town of Beulah are just 19 miles west of the property!
* Lake Michigan and the fun beach town of Frankfort are just 26 miles west of the property!
* Crystal Mountain Resort (for downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, golf, etc.) is only 13 miles southwest of the property!
Thus, this property really offers both a wonderful array of things to do right at the property as well as the ability to explore all of the main attractions of northwest Michigan!
Guests have full access to the entire property! The only portion that is off-limits to guests is a storage closet in the house.
The property provides casual, but very comfortable, accommodations for up to 8 people in 3 bedrooms. It features new air conditioning (which is rare in the area), cable television (including television and cable in the master bedroom), and great cable WiFi. It is on 10 private acres with shared lake access on Green Lake. (The lake access and dock is shared with the owner of a nearby vacant lot who occasionally camps on the vacant lot and uses the shared lake access and dock a few times each year. The lake access and dock is across the street from the property and approx. 100 yards down the street from the property.) The property also borders the Betsie River. Thus, it works great for boating on Green Lake and/or boating on the Betsie River. (The river is fairly shallow and is really only workable for kayaks, canoes, or paddleboards.)
Note that the property is also very pet-friendly! Up to 2 dogs are allowed and the private kennels on the property along with the heavily forested 10 private acres and the lake access makes this property a paradise for dogs to enjoy exploring!
It is suggested the guests have their own transportation.
Please note that the property does utilize well water. You may want to bring bottled water for drinking.
