About this property
Gwinn- Little Lake - Pristine Lakeside Home. Great all season getaway!
Just steps away from sandy frontage, lies this home in the beautiful north woods of Northern Michigan. Northern Lights are easily viewed from the deck. Three bedrooms and two baths, plus a lovely open kitchen and living room, provide plenty of room for wonderful family gatherings. Dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer offer convenient living amenities. A deck, fire pit, standup paddle board, canoe, kayaks, and dock allow for easy lake access. The lake is known for great swimming, fishing and boating. The lake is a 400 acre lake with two islands. Sandbars are available near the islands for docking boats and swimming. Mehl Lake is accessible via an inlet by small boats. The lake is stocked with walleye, though bass and smaller pan fish are abundant. Boat launch is close by. Less than a mile from the house is a snowmobile and four-wheeling trail. Twenty minutes to Marquette and 60 minutes to Pictured Rocks. Pet Friendly!

About the host
Hosted by Dave & Gina Sorensen
Dave & Gina have lived in the Marquette area for the past 24 years. Dave grew up in the Flint area of Michigan and fell in love with Marquette when he attended NMU for his undergraduate degree. After finishing his Doctor of Pharmacy from Michigan, his dream was to return to the U.P. to live as he fell in love with Lake Superior and all the opportunities to hunt and fish. Gina has lived her entire life in the Upper Peninsula. She attended NMU for her undergraduate and has Master degrees from Central Michigan University and Viterbo University. She now teaches high school English at her alma mater in Negaunee. Dave and Gina owned a camp in the Munising area for 13 years prior to the purchase of this home. The Sorensen's favorite times are spent on the lake.
Why they chose this property
Dave and Gina purchased this lakeside home in July of 2016 because they love spending time near water.
Dave and Gina owned a camp in the Munising area for 13 years prior to the purchase of this home, but decided to purchase a place closer to their home because of the age of their children and their busy family life. The house has been newly remodeled and features all the amenities of home with an amazing lake view and sandy beach front. The sunsets are incredible! This home is perfect as it has wonderful boating and fishing opportunities too.

What makes this property unique
