Stunning house, picture perfect views and lots of fun activities nearby!!

The house is stunning and the views are picture perfect!! The location and size of the property made it seem like we had our own little private section of the woods. Every morning and evening we had a front row seat for nature viewing, watching wild turkeys and deer wandering through the yard. It was early spring so we spent time hiking on the nature trails at Sleeping Bear Dunes (15 minutes away) and hope on our next visit that we can take advantage of the mountain biking at Palmer Woods (5 minutes away). Even in rainy weather we were able to enjoy this beautiful location. The hosts have provided a ping pong table and board games that my teenage son had a blast playing and I enjoyed curling up with a book by the fireplace. The hosts did all the research for us and left suggestions for the best restaurants and vineyards in the area. I also enjoy cooking some of our meals and appreciated the full kitchen. It’s the first time cooking on vacation that I didn’t want for anything including all types of pans, mixing bowls, and measuring cups. We had a great time and I highly recommend Michi’s Base Camp!!! We will definitely book this location again and again!
