“This lakeside property impresses with its extensive grounds and a private beachfront, equipped with kayaks and paddleboards for exploring the water. Accommodations range from comfy cottages to rooms in the older lodge, which houses a museum of local treasures and a welcoming front porch. Its proximity to Lake Michigan beaches and Sleeping Bear Dunes makes it a great base for exploring the region.”
