Be our guest at this beautiful Northern Michigan vacation home. This 2,000 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 2 bath lodge style home is nestled among towering hardwoods and offers scenic views of Cedar Lake. The interior features knotty pine, exposed log beams, ceramic tile, and a cozy fireplace.
Enjoy watching wildlife roam through the yard from your 100 feet of private frontage on Cedar Lake. The home is thoughtfully designed with family fun in mind and includes separate areas for adults and children, making it comfortable for families and multi-generation groups.
THE HOME
The main great room features an HD TV with Roku, a DVD player, and a DVD library, making it a comfortable space for relaxing after a day on the lake.
The walkout basement includes a pool table, board games, an HD TV with Roku, and a PlayStation 2 with games. This lower-level space is ideal for kids, teens, and casual evening entertainment while allowing adults to enjoy quieter time upstairs.
THE LAKE AND LOCATION
Cedar Lake is a peaceful no-wake fishing lake, ideal for morning coffee kayak trips, fishing with the family, or simply relaxing by the water. It is quiet, scenic, and never crowded.
The home is off the beaten path yet centrally located in one of Northern Michigan’s most desirable vacation areas. Located just west of downtown Traverse City, you are only minutes from Empire, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Old Mission Peninsula. It is an excellent home base for exploring everything Northern Michigan has to offer.

Pontoon boat with 10 gallons of pre-mixed fuel
