NEIGHBORHOOD:

The immediate neighborhood consists of lakefront homes on Big Platte Lake, most of which are secondary homes for professional families. The area is very safe, quiet, private, and secure!

The cottage is in a perfect location for exploring the best of northern Michigan! The cottage is just a 5-minute drive from the incredible natural beauty of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore! It's also just a 10-minute drive to Platte Beach on Lake Michigan and a 13-minute drive to Beulah Beach on Crystal Lake! For fun shopping, dining, and entertainment, the charming beach towns of Frankfort, Beulah, and Empire are all less than a 30-minute drive from the cottage! If bigger city sites are desired, then downtown Traverse City, the epicenter of Michigan tourism, is just a 45-minute drive from the cottage!


GUEST ACCESS:

Guests have access to the entire house, except for a closet that is locked off for owner usage.


THE SPACE:

The home is very cute and comfy. It has been nicely updated in recent years and includes 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom that has a combination tub and shower. One of the bedrooms has a queen-size bed, one has a full-size, and one has two bunk beds, so the cottage can comfortably sleep 8 people. There is also a modern kitchen and a dining area with seating for 6 adults. The home has lots of windows and great natural lighting throughout!

The cottage also features a huge backyard deck with great views of Big Platte Lake! On the deck, there is a gas grill and also a picnic table and Adirondack chairs for relaxing. Next to the deck, there is an enclosed porch area that also has great views of the lake. There is an outdoor bonfire ring next to the lake for having great family times together!
