About this property

Welcome to Sandbar Shores on Big Platte Lake. This micro-resort is comprised of three cottages with direct beachfront access and enjoyment of Big Platte Lake. Big Platte Lake is nestled in the heart of the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and is shallow, warm and sandy.

The Roadhouse Cottage is steps away from the lake and offers lovely views. This two bedroom cottage is furnished with two twin beds, and a master bedroom consisting of a full bed. The living room has a pull out sofa for additional sleeping. This cottage can accommodate five people. There is a fully functional kitchen and one bathroom.

Each cottage is outfitted with a/c, heat, WiFi, Roku televisions, gas grills, linens, towels, pillows, and personal fire pits. The sandy beach lakefront is a shared area between all of the cottages so we request that visitors are limited and courtesy be given to the other quests while enjoying the amenities.

There is working laundry facilities on the premises that is located in the basement of the Main House. Guests from all three cottages have access to the laundry facilities. There are also 2 mooring buoys.

Whether you're looking to explore the dunes, waterways, hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, tour the wineries of M-22, or just admire the northern Michigan sunsets and scenery our cottages will not disappoint.

Exceptional vacation

Three adult men in the roadhouse cabin. We had all we needed and were close to great fishing spots. Would come back over and over again. Families played on the beach during the day. We were able to sit out and enjoy the lake at night. We even caught sight of some unusual light movements in the nighttime sky! This place was perfect!

Great family stay!

We had a really nice stay at the cabin for five nights. The lake is nice for swimming, and the kids love playing with all of the water toys available for use. It was a great launching spot to visit the dunes and other area attractions.
