About this property

Cozy Fireside Escape: Duck Lake Waterfront

As the leaves turn gold over Duck Lake, this waterfront retreat sets the scene for crisp fall days and cozy winter nights. Watch the colors change from the deck, then gather around the gas fireplace or fire pit once the sun dips below the water. Chase fall foliage toward Sleeping Bear Dunes, explore nearby Interlochen State Park, or spend a snowy afternoon relaxing lakeside before trying your luck at Turtle Creek Casino. Book your seasonal getaway and let Duck Lake set the pace.

Highly recommend, beautiful home and the view overlooking the water is gorgeous during the fall. Located on a quiet private road. Very clean and just a short drive outside of Traverse City. Great place to stay for a girls wine weekend away!

Response from Waterfront Home on Duck Lake: 8 Mi to State Park! on 29 Nov 2025
Thank you for the review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the home and the views. The area, including Traverse City, is perfect for a wine weekend. Old Mission Peninsula has beautiful wineries as well! Mari Vineyards is a gorgeous one. They have tasting rooms as well as private wine tours that include their wine caves. I believe they also host yoga during certain times of the year and have live music on Tuesdays and Thursdays! We truly appreciate you choosing our place for your getaway, and we'd be happy to welcome you back anytime.

This beautiful cottage on Duck Lake was the PERFECT place for our annual girls' trip with 6 retired elementary teachers. Plenty of room to have lots of fun. The cottage is super clean, bedding and linens are soft, fluffy, and comfy with good quality mattresses on the beds. The kitchen was a great size for all of us to get in there to help with meals and clean-up. We had amazing weather so spent most all of our time outside on the decks. There are two decks with a big table on the upper deck and a big table on the lower deck. Both were great for eating and playing cards & games. Sunshine when you want sun, shade when you want shade!! We had a cozy fire in the fire pit down by the lake just after we watched the gorgeous sunsets. I won't be surprised if we come back here someday!! Not too many shops or stores nearby so bring your food & drinks ..... however there is a very nice Tom's grocery store in Interlochen.
