6 Bedroom House close to Petoskey, Harbor Springs & Mackinaw 350 private acres Grandma's house sits on a private 350 acre parcel in a quiet rural setting. The road ends at the house; there are no cars going by!!This past winter the house was extensively updated in many areas. Yes, we have WiFi. The home is located within a half an hour or less from Harbor Springs, Petoskey, and Mackinaw City. You are also within a half an hour or less of beautiful beaches on Lake Michigan, golf courses, inland lakes, shopping and dining. There is an outdoor grill and fire pit with plenty of wood for your use as well. Plan on s’mores around an evening fire. Or just sit and enjoy the glow and aroma of a campfire. Grandma’s house is surrounded with cottage flowers year around. Roses, Daisies, Lilly’s, Holly Hocks, Mallow, Hydrangeas, Hostas Daffodils, and Phlox are some of the flowers. In addition, there are apple and pear trees blooming in the spring along with flowering crab trees. Enjoy your coffee or favorite drink on one of the decks or under the shade of our large maples in the front yard. Be sure to bring your camera to capture your experiences at Grandma's house. We are close to many excellent (and award winning!) restaurants: The Moose Jaw Junction (Larks Lake) is 2 miles away; The Crows Nest (Harbor Springs) is 5 miles away; Hoppies Landing (Pellston) is 13 miles away; and historic Leggs Inn (Cross Village) is 7 miles away; this is a must stop, awesome bluff sunsets in the garden dining area. All have great food, family atmosphere, and affordable pricing. In addition, there are several more great restaurants within 30 minutes of the house. One of the beaches you have to visit is Sturgeon Bay; miles of dunes, sandy beaches and clear water. Water depth starts out shallow enough for children to play without entering deeper water. Visit early in your stay because you will want to return to the beach. Relax at the beach and order take out from the Moose Jaw when you return. We are fifteen minutes from Boyne Highlands and their multiple golf courses. There are also several other courses within 30 minutes of the house. There are multiple unique shopping experiences within a half hour of the house as well. Downtown Harbor Springs offers many shopping opportunities as well as Staffords Pier restaurant. You can spend a whole day shopping in Mackinaw City. Be sure to have lunch at the Keyhole; a unique restaurant/ bar. Come back the next day and take a ferry to Mackinaw Island where no cars are allowed. Enjoy a horse drawn buggy ride or rent a bicycle to tour the island or simply walk around the island. There are several historic sites on the island including the famous Grand Hotel. Take a day or two and cross the Mackinaw bridge (20 minute drive to bridge) and visit the scenic upper peninsula. Sites like Pictured Rocks the Soo Locks and Tahquamenon falls are a short drive away. All are unique. We like the 2 hour boat tour of pictured rocks originating in Munising. You need to book ahead. The property has miles of walking trails which provide you with an opportunity to experience the beauty of nature, including all types of vegetation and wildlife. You will walk up on deer as they browse in the woods. Most of our deer are on the tamer side and usually just stand and watch you, wondering what you are doing there!! Beautiful views year around especially in the spring when the thousands of trilliums and jack in a pulpits are blooming along side several other wild flowers. We have over ten different types of ferns on our property. The trails are cleared and maps are provided by attachments sent to you. There are challenging hilly trails and many leisurely trails to just saunter along enjoying the quiet and beauty. Take a picnic lunch and have lunch on one of our hills that provide spectacular views (see pictures). Enjoy viewing the deer from one of our decks as they come into the yard to browse. Watch the many birds that visit our feeders all day long; included humming birds, finches, robins, several varieties of woodpeckers, gross beaks, killdeers, nut hatches, blue birds and many other varieties while you enjoy your relaxing moments in total privacy. The evening sky is filled with bottomless stars. We have a special viewing location you can drive up to where you can sit back and view the constellations and even the shooting stars. Many guests tell us it is better than the Dark Sky exhibit in Mackinaw. The quiet is a relaxing experience; just you and the breathless view. Leave your stress behind and come enjoy this special spot. We are sure you will want to return again and again.
