Summary:
Baydream Believer
Adorable house with a little something for everyone! Our main floor offers bedroom 1 of 3 with a queen bed. Upstairs you will find the additional two small bedrooms, one holds a queen bed, and the second holds 2 twin beds (upstairs are narrow with a low overhead). Hardwood floors and many updates make this Cape Cod boast Northern Michigan charm. With the finished, heated, detached studio area, there is nearly 1,500 square ft of living space to enjoy. Sit next to the custom fire pit, under the dark sky while listening to the waves lapping at the shoreline only a couple of hundred feet away. Weather turn dark and gloomy? Enjoy a beverage on the covered back porch while you wait for the sun to come back.
Our detached "Squirrels Nest" area offers a wide range of very flexible uses, all designed for your best Northern Michigan experience in mind. Open the doors WIDE to the outside to breath in the fresh Bay air. This is a once in a lifetime chance to play pool, whilst staring out over Grand Traverse Bay! Within the Squirrels Nest you will find a ping pong / pool table, arcade game machines, TV with wifi streaming options, a large sectional, mini fridge, coffee station, and family games.
Washer and Dry on site, in the basement. Use caution, stairs are steep and deep.

It also passes through the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Beautiful views and fun destinations along the way!

Other Things to Note:
The view of the water is awesome from our place, but we do not own the rights to the shore line. Please respect our neighbors by not trespassing at the water’s edge or on the docks in front of our home. We do have great beaches just down the road. We ask that when coming up from the beach that you rinse your feet and please enter the house through the back entrance.
