More than just a place to sleep! Relax and enjoy incredible Lake Michigan sunsets from living areas, two bedrooms, and the deck of this spacious, beautifully decorated beach house. Open floor plan includes a great room with eat-in kitchen, dining table, and snack table, large sitting area with panoramic views throughout. There is a separate TV room with TV & satellite. The four large bedrooms (three upstairs, one downstairs) include a Master suite with master bath and walk-in shower, a beautiful romantic lakeside bedroom with balcony, a rustic bedroom complete with twig furnishings, and a cozy downstairs bedroom with its own bath.
Enjoy the lake from the balcony or deck, or step out to the sandy beach for swimming, sunning, beach combing or kayaking.
Take in wonderful local golf courses or drive just three miles to Mackinaw City where you can cross the Mackinac Bridge to the town of St. Ignace, take the ferry to Mackinac Island, enjoy summer concerts, visit the shops, restaurants or historic sites, or play putt-putt.


Home Details: Remodeled, beautiful four-bedroom home. The house is fully furnished and tastefully decorated. It provides many areas to gather as well as quiet corners to escape. The main living area and eat-in kitchen are open with tiled floors. There is seating for lounging and eating. This area offers sweeping views of Lake Michigan. The TV room is carpeted with two sofas, chairs and a coffee table, books and games. The TV is a wall-mounted flat panel with basic satellite.

All bedrooms are carpeted and beautifully furnished. The spacious master suite offers views overlooking the beach and lake, and opens to the upstairs deck which is perfect for enjoying the view and a good book. The master bath is tiled with large walk-in shower, double vanity and separate commode area. Two upstairs guest rooms share a large guest bath with dual vanity. One opens to the upstairs deck. The downstairs bedroom offers a cozy retreat down its own hall with it's own bath.

Location, Location, Location: This two-story house is located on a beautiful sandy strip of Lake Michigan shoreline, in a private community at the edge of Wilderness State Park. The beach is easily accessible with a short boardwalk and path leading to the smooth shore area. Here you can relax in the beach chairs, walk the shoreline, swim, play or kayak (two single, one double available). After a beautiful sunset you're ready to stargaze.

Just three miles south of Mackinaw City, The Mackinac Bridge, and Ferry Lines to Mackinac Island. You can cross the nearly five-mile suspension bridge to Michigan's Upper Peninsula and the town of St. Ignace. Plan a day trip, and drive up to Whitefish Point and the Shipwreck Museum where you can learn about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, stopping at Tahquamenon Falls on your way. Or see the Soo Locks and visit Canada, -passports required.

Beautiful Golf Courses surround the area. Some of our favorites are the nearby Mackinaw Club, Hidden River Golf and Casting Club, Little Traverse Bay, and the courses of Boyne Highlands.

Home Away from Home: More than just a place to sleep. We have furnished this as if it were our permanent home, with beautiful, solid furnishings and simple decor.
Though there are many sights to see in the area, you may never want to leave. This house is furnished and supplied so that you have all you need to relax and enjoy your vacation from the time you arrive. In addition to the amenities mentioned, you'll find all the comforts of home. Morning coffee takes on a whole new meaning when you're watching the lake come to life. Evening meals taste better with the sun setting on the lake as you sit around the large picnic table. There is even a small, flat lawn area for playing, right off the deck.
There is a double kayak and two single kayaks with paddles and life jackets for your use. You'll find toys, coolers and tote bags in the 'summer closet.' The deck is large and seats 8-10 people in addition to the large picnic table in the lower deck/grilling area.

Beautiful, spacious home
We (8 pensioners) were late in the season so didn't get to enjoy all the benefits of being right on the water. But the facilities suited us just fine. Lots of room and a nice deck to sit and watch the beautiful sunsets. Well appointed and very nicely decorated.

A wonderful week
We were three generations staying. Plenty of room and things to do for everyone. The teenagers were quick to get their swimsuits on and jump into the lake. The kitchen is large enough for me many cooks.

Great property
This is a great property on the beach. We loved how close it was to everything but secluded at the same time. House was much bigger than we expected from the pictures and the beach was wonderful.

Great Mackinaw/UP location
This was our 1st trip to MI. We wanted an area that's close to both Mackinaw City and the UP to do daily trips seeing both locations. This was absolutely perfect! The location and house could not be better! There were 6 adults. The house was very spacious and well equiped with anything we needed. The pictures do not do it justice. The views are amazing! We'd come back from a long day out and loved playing Tam's board games, puzzles and cards. The kayaks were a hit and a great way to enjoy the beautiful lake right in the back yard. We had a fun-filled week hiking in various parks in both Mackinaw and the UP, fishing, shopping, dining, Soo Locks (highly recommend the boat tour), Mackinac Island, Lumberjack show, Wildlife Park, Dark Sky Park, Ice Breaker boat, wineries, St. Ignace, Saulte Ste. Marie, Arch Rock, Escape room, and much more. Our early June trip was mostly cloudy, cool and some rain. The midgees were there in full force. We'd definitely return and stay again at Tam's again. Next time we'll plan on July or August. Thank you Tam for a great week and lots of precious memories!

About the host

Hosted by Tam Pursley

Host profile image
We live in Georgia, but have vacationed in Northern Michigan for over forty years. We love the beautiful, clear summer days and the crisp, cool nights. For us there is no place that compares to Northern Michigan!

Why they chose this property

After vacationing in Northern Michigan for many years, we began searching for a home to buy. We looked in many areas and communities, for several summers, and didn't really even consider Mackinaw City,
... until we looked at this home, and it's location. It fit our needs wonderfully with the soft, sandy shore, clear shallow water, friendly neighbors, and the convenience to town with the feeling of being far removed.
The home we purchased was a small ranch. We remodeled by opening up and extending where we could, and adding a second floor with spacious bedrooms and an airy deck. We were able to keep a portion of the original cabin, by utilizing the knotty pine living room as the separate den / tv room.
The location and the open-plan home are perfect for our family vacations, golf trips, and girls outings.

What makes this property unique

We are located in a small bay, just around the point from the Mackinaw Bridge. The sheltered bay and shallow water make our beaches sandy, and help the water warm just a little more than the deeper, colder waters of Lake Michigan. The lake and our shoreline are different every day. We love the glass-like, still water often seen in the early morning, and we love the crashing waves and surf that a blustery day can bring. Being inside as a storm rolls in is a treat as well. However, nothing beats the sunsets from our deck as a long day comes to an end.
