About this property

Family-friendly log home between Harbor Springs, Petoskey, and Mackinaw Island

The White Pine Lodge has a privileged location: it's quiet and peaceful but close to the best Northern Michigan attractions, small towns, and beaches only 15 minutes away. The large front deck is tucked into secluded woods and the back deck overlooks beautiful meadows and hills. Nature sings here, and it isn't called Pleasantview Rd for nothing! The only neighbors for miles are friends or family, and the fields are still farmed by us. A school house more than 100 years old sat on this property until recently donated to a historical society. Our relatives and neighbors attended that school, so the property has a rich past.

Geo-thermal heating and cooling makes this a very comfortable unit year round, and the heated floors are exceptionally comfortable in the winter. The large pine dining table and spacious kitchen help make family meals and time together unforgettable. Cooking or grilling is made easy with all the room. Jurek's Meat and Grocery, a short walk away, has the best meats in Northern Michigan for all your cooking needs.

The main floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The living room has comfortable and spacious seating and a warm gas fireplace. On each side of the living room are sliding glass doors for easy access to the balcony for the great view, fresh air, and starry nights. One floor up is the loft with a bed, a recliner and wool rug.

The lower level has lots of seating with many large sofas. There are 2 bedrooms down here, a full bathroom, an exercise room, entertainment area with a 50" flat screen, and a laundry room.

Bathroom 1 - Large jacuzzi tub with spacious stand in ceramic/glass shower.
Bathroom 2 - Large shower/tub combination and cathedral ceilings.
Bathroom 3 - Combination Tub/Shower

My friends and I loved staying here for our ski trip to Boyne Highlands. The place was very clean and so spacious for all of us. The heated floors were an added bonus after a cold long day of skiing too! We definitely want to come back next year!:)

Wonderful property near Petosky

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful property. We were a party of twelve and never felt cramped. The house is huge with wonderful light. It is private yet close enough to all of the action. We spent on day on Mackinac Island and the other days touring in and around Petosky. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. The only “issue” we had was that there was only on bottle of shampoo for the two bathrooms. We worked it out. The house was spotless. We would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling in this area.

Beautiful cabin and great for a family Reunion

We had our annual reunion here with three families, ages ranging from 65 - 2 years old and a dog. Place was great for everyone and enough kitchen and bathroom amenities. We spent a night outside around the fire making s'mores and laid in the grass star gazing. During the day we spent time at nearby Pelosky, Harbor Springs, and Mackinac Island.
