PONTOON BOAT! Gameroom! KAYAKS! No Host, or cleaning fees! \- And as always, we never charge Host, Cleaning, Pet (up to two dogs), or Extra Guest fees! Be our guest at this beautiful Northern Michigan Vacation Getaway. This 2000 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 2 bath, lodge style home is nestled amidst towering hardwoods, and features views of Cedar Lake. Knotty pine, log beams, ceramic tile, and a cozy fireplace, adorn the interior. Watch the wildlife roam through the yard on your 100' of private \*frontage on Cedar Lake. The home is also designed with family fun in mind, with separate areas for adults and little ones alike. Cedar Lake is a beautiful, peaceful No Wake fishing lake, perfect for those morning coffee kayak trips, fishing with the family or just being plain lazy. Off the beaten path yet right in the center of one of Northern Michigan's most desired vacation destination spots. This cottage is located just west of downtown Traverse City. You're only minutes from such areas as Empire, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor and Old Mission. Come and experience the best that Northern Michigan has to offer. Home includes the use of a \*\*free pontoon boat w/10 gal free fuel (Memorial week til early October), Floating Aqua-Play-Mat (Memorial Week thru Labor Day Week), kayaks (May 1st til Nov 1st), and row boat (April 1st til Nov 15th), dock (Mid-May til Nov 1st). \*Frontage is typical northern Michigan soft sediment (mucky) bottom, great for fishing, but definitely not sandy. \*\*As a FREE bonus to our guests in our summer months, we offer you the use of one of a pontoon boats. They are nothing special. They are clean and well maintained. They range in size from 18-24ft. They range in age from 20-30 years old w/2stroke motors ranging from 25 - 35 hp. While these boats may not fulfill the boating dreams of some people, they are perfect for a sunset cruise or a family fishing outing. We even supply you with 10 gallons of pre-mixed gasoline!. To get the most enjoyment from these boats it is recommended that person with a knowledge of boating and two stroke motors be involved operating them. If not, we do have full instructions and technical assistance available if necessary. See photo of typical pontoon boat. \----- Also we provide a starter supply of paper/soap products which should be enough for a typical 2 night stay for smaller groups of 2 - 4 people. For a complete list of "what is provided" and "things to bring", check out "Using the property” on your “My Trip” page. \- Fireplace available Thanksgiving - April 1st. \- For our winter guests we recommend bringing an all-wheel-drive vehicle or at the very least a front wheel drive with good snow tires. \- There are neighbors so no parties, or events.
