About the host
Hosted by Sally Murray
I grew up in and around the Traverse City area. My parents made their exodus from the big city in the early 1970's...depositing their family in this quaint area known as northern lower Michigan. As a typical teenager, I planned my 'escape'...eager for the hustle and bustle of the urban landscape. But over time, I came to appreciate the area--and ultimately couldn't bear to leave it : ) My career provides me the opportunity to speak with people who are well traveled. There's nothing more satisfying than hearing these words from them: 'I've been around the world and can live anywhere I choose. I choose northern Michigan. I choose HERE!'
Why they chose this property
My family purchased this property in 2006. The property suited us beautifully! It was isolated enough to be quiet, yet close enough to enjoy all the area amenities. The beach is just down the road. All summer long, we were in constant pursuit of the water--whether it was biking down, loading up the boat for a jaunt out to the Torch Lake sandbar, or a quiet moonlight stroll down for an evening swim.
Now the children are grown. And while it might be tempting to sell this property and move on....I cannot. Instead, I am inviting you to share in it.
I know you will enjoy your stay!

What makes this property unique
Located immediately between Traverse City and Elk Rapids--it is the perfect location. It is a very private, wooded setting. The public boat launch/beach area/campground are at the end of the road (0.15 mile). Elk Lake is your entry point to the Chain of Lakes: Then to Lake Skegemog, to Torch River, to Torch Lake (fabled for its crystal clear turquoise waters and sandbar), to Clam River, to Clam Lake, to Grass River to Lake Bellaire. There are several towns and hamlets along the route. Eagles nest along the riverbanks. It is exceptionally beautiful.
The proximity to both Traverse City and Elk Rapids is especially appealing. There is always someplace new to visit, eat, hear, explore!
Come--See for yourself!!
