THE SPACE:

The home is pure Northern Michigan! It has a woodsy vintage feel to it with tons of character! The home does have lots of modern amenities though including a full kitchen with a dishwasher, high-speed Wi-FI, multiple streaming televisions, a washer and dryer, and a propane grill. It's a wonderful combination of traditional northern Michigan charm plus modern amenities!
