About this property

Private, woods, trails, Duck Lake access, Kayaking, Interlochen concerts

Modern home located at the end of a sandy two track, private with easy access to many attractions. Township Permit # PSTR 23-050. Located between Duck and Green Lake, with joint lake access to Duck Lake. Close to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Interlochen Arts Academy Events, and Interlochen State Park, Crystal Mountain Ski and Golf Resort. There are three bedrooms for six guests plus two age 15 or under. There are two full bathrooms (one with a shower and one with a vintage tub), a fully loaded, newly renovated kitchen, washer and dryer, satellite TV in living room and Master bedroom. Gas grill on patio. Wood burning stove in living room.

Our house is not on Duck Lake but we do share lake access just at the end of our road. Lake access 1/10 of a mile, joint access with boat mooring available. Due to swimmers itch swimming is safe waste deep but lengthy wading in the shallow is risky. I have been swimming in Duck Lake for 11 years and have never had swimmers itch, as long as you are careful and towel off the risk is very low. There are areas of the lake where you can wade and play frizbee, etc without concern but you need to boat there, thus a boat or kayak is a great way to enjoy this lake. We have provided 2 kayaks complimentary with the house. State Park and Interlochen Arts Academy 1.5 miles north. State park has a beach area and the Arts Academy houses many prominent concerts and performances in multiple art forms. Just a short distance away from Traverse City, MI, host of the National Cherry Festival, Traverse City Film Festival. Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsula's with over 20 vineyards. Many lakes, rivers and beaches within 20 minute radius. Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes 30 minutes. Many golf resort opportunities: Grand Traverse Resort, Arcadia Bluffs, Crystal Mountain and many other smaller courses. State Park and Interlochen Arts Academy 1.5 miles north.

Great location, especially with dogs, and proximity to Interlochen School of the Arta

Location is fantastic - dogs able to run freely in woods/trails directly from the private property. The small things in the house need updating(dishes, smaller maintenance items, etc) and a 2nd shower would be nice. Otherwise this is a great property with fantastic owners

Lovely getaway for our family

The home is very nice, comfortable and cozy, plenty of room for the five of us. We enjoyed exploring the nearby attractions as well as a nice walk in the area. There was some rainy weather, but we took advantage of that time to play some cards and board games at the dining table.

Great home base for soccer tournament

We stayed at the house for two nights during a youth soccer tournament. It was a great home base and more convenient and cost effective than a hotel for 2 adults and three kids. Check in was hassle free and the owner was helpful and laid back.

A Wonderful Cabin in the Woods

We enjoyed many things about out stay. The house was very comfortable and well equipped. We loved that there is lake access. We loved exploring the area. We loved walking the many wooded paths around the property. We enjoyed using the wood burning stove. The owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with when we had questions.

Home was as described. Actually larger then it appears in the pictures. Host was friendly. She came over to the property shortly after we arrived and showed us how to use the wood stove (stove is not the main source of heat, there is a furnace) we did not use the stove.

Excellent Place to Stay in the Woods

We arrived about 10pm on a rainy dark night.The directions got us there great with google maps. We enjoyed seeing the inside( great). The bedrooms of which there were 3 and bath rooms (2) were very clean and comfortable.The large TV worked great in the living room and the TV in the king size bedroom was a very nice touch. Seating in the living was very wonderful. Best of all was the kitchen( very up to date with new appliances) The stove was gas. We made ourselves breakfast the next morning. Relaxing and enjoying the views of the woods even through the rain.We had a wedding to attend in Traverse City in the afternoon so did not get to take advantage of that immediate area. It looked tempting but without the rain.Above everything, the price was very reasonable.We enjoyed it very much!!!!!!

Very comfortable house to stay in. It was nice to have two bathrooms. We were in town for a family reunion so did not get a chance to use the lake. The host was good at keeping us updated on things and providing additional information. I would recommend this Vrbo.

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed our stay in Interlochen. Overall location is fantastic for enjoying Sleeping Bear Dunes, Frankfort, Traverse City, Leelanau area, etc. Also our favorite beach is Onekema (40 minute drive but not busy at all and absolutely gorgeous). The house was clean, beds were comfortable, living room was nice and the kitchen was amazing. And the grill was very nice as well. Our only criticism is that some of the soft goods (towels, floor mats, etc.) were aged and worn. Also, there's only one shower on the main level. There's a clawfoot tub upstairs that has a handheld shower with no shower curtain (a clawfoot shower conversion kit would solve this easily and make it useable as a tub & shower). Also, I had to clean the kayaks in the lake prior to using (I think we may have been the first to use since the winter - they were very dirty and had many spiders in them). But overall a it was a very nice stay and I would stay here again.
