A 12' aluminum row boat and three adult kayaks included in rental.

This spectacular rental is a natural oasis from a busy world, yet accessible to many of northwest Michigan's popular tourist destinations. The house can sleep up to 10 people comfortably. The master bedroom is a loft area with view of the lake with king bed and private bathroom. The main level has 2 private bedrooms both with Queen beds and 1 shared bathroom. The finished lower level of the house has a private kids bunk room and a pull out couch with queen bed in the entertainment room with a full bath on that level.

Lake views can be enjoyed from the main living area and spacious deck with picnic table and outdoor furniture. Relax and let the stress of everyday life disappear as you hear the gentle waves hitting the shore while sipping your morning coffee in the screened three seasons room. This house has a very large yard leading to the lake - perfect for outdoor games. The dock has a seating area and ladder and is accessible to some of the deepest water on Big Platte Lake. You will find plenty of basic fishing poles and equipment inside the garage for your use. A 12' aluminum row boat and three adult kayaks are also available to use at your own risk.
