Why they chose this property

Michigan's northwest lower peninsula is the best part of the state - lots of hills, trees, water, quaint little towns, excellent restaurants & shops, major casino, many golf courses, boating, swimming, fishing, skiing, etc. Walloon Lake is one of the finest inland lakes in Michigan.

What makes this property unique

This property features 160 ft. of private frontage on Walloon Lake, one of Michigan's finest inland lakes - only 6 miles south of Petoskey, Michigan and close to other interesting towns, activities and places to see. Quiet in nature, our 1 acre property is largely surrounded by trees - behind our property on the other side of the road is a large woods (Nature Preserve), with some very nice walking paths. Walloon Lake is approximately 12 miles long, with crystal clear water, surrounded by millions of trees and numerous multi-million dollar houses. Many renters desire use of a pontoon boat - so we make our pontoon boat available as an option to our renters at a very reasonable price.
