About this property
Cozy Fall Retreat with Firepits! Near Tunnel of Trees, 30 Mins to Mackinac Ferry
Welcome to your perfect Up North getaway! Tucked into the trees on 10 acres, our cozy retreat blends modern comfort with the charm of a wooded escape.
Step outside and take your pick of cozy gathering spots. In the back, unwind around the wood-burning firepit, surrounded by Adirondack chairs and string lights that make the woods glow at night.
Out front, enjoy the propane fire pit on the deck, perfect for sipping coffee in the morning or winding down with a glass of wine under the stars.
Peak fall colors are expected to be late September / October
Location:
Just 15 minutes to the Tunnel of Trees, Northern Michigan’s most iconic fall color drive with breathtaking Lake Michigan views.
Only 30 minutes to the Mackinac Island ferry for an unforgettable day trip.
Close to Boyne Highlands & Nubs Nob for skiing, snowboarding, golf, and year-round activities.
A short drive to Petoskey State Park for beach days on Lake Michigan.
The Space:
Upstairs loft: two spacious king beds with room dividers for privacy, Roku TV, and a full bathroom with tub.
Main floor: a queen bedroom with Roku TV, another full bathroom with tub, and an open living area with a huge L couch, a 60" Roku TV, fully stocked kitchen, and dining table.
Lower level: 65' Roku TV, perfect for movie nights, one full bed and two full bunk beds (each sleeping two), bringing total occupancy up to 12.
Oversized couches in the living room and lower level double as extra sleeping space when needed.
Guests have access to the entire property. Please be careful while hiking through the woods :)
