The Cottage Up North - Ski, Snowmobile, Shop, Dine

The Cottage Up North offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Nestled in a wooded setting off the beaten path, yet just minutes from Northern Michigan’s best activities, this getaway invites you to slow down, relax, and make lasting memories. The space Step inside and you’ll be greeted by warm rustic beams, a charming center staircase with an open loft, and modern furnishings that create a welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen’s wraparound counter is perfect for spreading out snacks and drinks while gathering for games or puzzles. The main level also includes a queen bedroom with TV, a playful bunk area for kids, and a full bath with a tub/shower and custom wood vanity. A convenient mudroom with laundry makes it easy to drop gear after a day of adventure. While the home does not include air conditioning, box fans and screened windows let in refreshing breezes to keep the space cool and comfortable during warmer months. Upstairs, the loft offers a cozy reading nook, along with two more bedrooms (one queen, one full) and a second full bath featuring a walk-in tiled shower. Outdoor living is just as inviting—grill dinner on the deck, dine at the outdoor table, and unwind in Adirondack-style chairs with a drink in hand.
