The Space:
What makes the "Mandon Retreat" so unique is the attention to detail. We have a wide range of amenities for year round enjoyment. Inside you have a fully stocked coffee & espresso bar, complimentary snacks, fully stocked open concept kitchen, not one but TWO living rooms for groups of many sizes to sprawl out, board games, 50inch Roku TV, TV's in each bedroom (coming soon), a cozy barstool nook which is the perfect work station or quick dining spot, plenty of room for a group of 6-7 with 1 King, 1 Queen, a pull down sofa roughy the size of a full bed, & 1 large twin day bed in the front living room for privacy at night. Outside you have a beautiful deck with string lights over looking the stunning view All-Sports Mandon Canal, a sandy beach area, new dock, firepit, BBQ grill, cornhole, and 2 Kayaks for added enjoyment. The entire home has modern, renovated finishes for a cozy & inviting stay!
The location:
Top-notch location situated right in the middle of everything North Oakland County has to offer! What we love about our location is you get the up north Michigan feels, but your SO close to the neighboring suburbs. "Mandon Retreat" is on a short dirt road (approx. 200 yards) with minimal traffic in a quiet neighborhood. Our home is directly on All-Sports Mandon Lake with the canal right in our backyard! 30 minutes (15 miles) to Pine Knob Ski Resort / Amphitheater, 10 minutes (5 miles) to Alphine Valley Ski Resort, 30 minutes (17 miles) to Mount Brighton, 30 minutes (17 miles) to Oakland University, 25 minutes (12 miles) to Pontiac's northern loop of the Woodward Dream Cruise, within 12 miles of 10 Oakland County golf courses, and less than 10 minutes to 15+ water front restaurants and bars!
About Mandon Lake:
The lake is affectionately known as the "Mighty Mandon", because despite its smaller size all sports are permitted.
With a maximum depth of 18 feet, Mandon Lake is fully capable of having skiing or watertubing. Being a smaller lake, it is private, making it a great place to reap all the benefits of waterfront living in Michigan.
