Big 50

We had some family up for our 50 th anniversary and all had a great time. Fire pit is in a perfect location and the yard quite large. The location is great with plenty to do in all directions! The house has a great floor plan and has plenty of room. It is also stocked very well

Perfect lake house

Me, my husband, adult kids and sister in law stayed here for 4 nights and had a terrific time. Everything was perfect - the location, accommodations and especially the beautiful lake with private dock and small sandy beach. We were all happily surprised how well stocked the house was. You only need to bring clothes and food. We used the row boat, kayaks and fishing gear. There was even a goody bag for us. Any time I reached out to owners I quickly got a response back. We had a small emergency before we left for our trip and the owners were so kind and understanding by accommodating our special request. The home was immaculate too. Do not hesitate to rent this place!! You will love it.

This is truly an outstanding property on Platte Lake! We have stayed at many different properties over 40+ years, and this rates as good as we’ve had. The owners were responsive, the house was perfect for our family- 6 adults and 5 little ones- 7-11 yrs old The house size, deck, back yard, beach, and dock all fit our needs to make it a wonderful vacation- we’ll be back!

Great fishing location

We caught a bunch of bass and perch from the dock, we were super close to a lot of great Lake Michigan beaches, and for floating down the Platte river.

About the host

Hosted by MaryBeth Clapper and Matthew Kott

We love northern Michigan so much and especially the area around Big Platte Lake. Matt grew up vacationing on Big Platte so it’s very special to be able to return and continue the tradition. MaryBeth grew up primarily in Traverse City and enjoys spending time with family when up north. Our careers have taken us outside the state for the time being but look forward to every minute we get to spend "Up North".

Why they chose this property

This lake and area is special to us. We grew up vacationing on this lake and in this area throughout our lives and now we want to share with you, just how special it is. The house has everything one needs for a great family vacation on the lake.

What makes this property unique

Private road access in a secluded area provides a safe and quiet location to enjoy a meaningful family vacation. Close to the best locations, attributes and activities that northern Michigan has to offer.
