~A note from the owner: What we love about this home is its central location to everything up north MI has to offer. Whether you want to picnic at Empire Beach, hike the Dunes, golf at Acadia Bluffs, go winery hopping, or head up to Fish Town in Leland for the best white fish you’ll ever eat, everything is within a half hour or so from the house. It’s hard to decide if we like hanging out in Interlochen more. There’s something so homey and welcoming about it that will have you coming back every year - especially for Oaky’s wings! Be sure to check out the guidebook I curated with the places we enjoy!

Great family and pet friendly place! Definitely would stay here again!
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
Great family-friendly rental for our family! The host was very kind and responsive, and there was excellent communication before and during our stay. The rooms were all very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. There was a large enough living/dining area for our family to gather together, plus there was an additional living/kitchen on the lower level if you needed some separate space. The home was nicely decorated, and made for a cozy and memorable stay.

It was great
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
The game room was not able to be used much due to no AC and it being unbearably hot. Having a way to take kayaks down to the water would be helpful due to the distance from the house to the water. Otherwise, a decent place to rent.
