About this property

Beautiful Home Away from Home -

Beautiful Home on a natural river that once was Sanford Lake. Perfect property for family reunions or social gatherings with friends! To be clear, this is NOT waterfront property until the lake is restored 3-4 years from now due to the massive dam collapse of 2020.

This luxury home has over 3,600 square feet, 3 bedrooms 2 of which are Master Suites, Bonus room, 3.5 bathrooms, and a Bonus Room that sleeps six. There is a natural fireplace and gas fireplace, modern kitchen, and study. Hard wood floors in the living areas and equally balanced from modern to lakefront cozy. There is also a card table and mini-bar in the bonus space for entertaining or family card night.

Screened in porch leads to a beautiful flat yard perched high overlooking 100 feet of river front. Large yard for outdoor activities and large fire pit. Enjoy your coffee or an evening cocktail from the large furnished patio that includes an outdoor kitchen.

The main floor has a master suite and study with pullout couch and glass French doors for privacy. Upstairs includes a second master suite, a guest bedroom with trundle beds that could sleep four and the bonus room.

This property is ideally situated 10 minutes from Midland, 20 minutes from Soaring Eagle casino in Mt. Pleasant and some of the best golf in Michigan including Bucks Run. Close to amenities but with an ‘up north’ feel! Close to ORV trails as well.

Board games available for family night fun or poker table and black jack bar for adult fun.

Excellent rental for a group getaway
Our group had a wonderful stay. Truly, the photos of the listing do not properly capture how nice and maintained this property is. Such a gem.

This property was absolutely gorgeous, to be honest it was nicer than we initially thought it would be. The accommodations the owner left were absolutely fantastic and I would recommend anyone to stay here for any type of occasion.
