THE SPACE:

The home is set at the base of Tower Hill in Frankfort, which is a large and heavily forested hill with a great many deer living on the hill along with lots of other wildlife. It's often possible to see deer walking at the back of the property along the hillside, hence the name "Deer Run". The home is at the end of a rather long shared driveway, thus it's in a very quiet natural setting. The home is beautifully decorated with a deer and nature theme throughout the house. It is really quite beautiful and luxurious with its natural style!

Point Betsie Lighthouse on Lake Michigan is also only about a 5-minute drive north from the property and it's a fun place for families or couples to visit.

The home is also just a 20-minute drive from the start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and all of its gorgeous natural beauty. Similarly, Crystal Lake, one of Michigan's most famous and gorgeous inland lakes, is just a 10-minute drive from the home. Legendary M-22 is just a few blocks from the property and taking it north around the Leelanau Peninsula and exploring the cute little beach towns of the Leelanau Peninsula is a very fun experience.

The home is also only about a 1-hour drive from downtown Traverse City, which is the financial, entertainment, dining, and arts capital of all of northern Michigan. There is a vast array of things to do and see in Traverse City if you wish to make a day trip to Traverse City to exploring "bigger city" options.
