Peaceful and private

Very private and peaceful property. My dog and I enjoyed walking the trails, listening to the coyotes and owls. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of outlets for charging electronics. Conveniently located to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Honor, Empire and anywhere else in the area you want to venture to.

Sleeping Bear Vacation

About the host

Hosted by Phil Lavender

Phil and Ginny Lavender are the property owners. We are both retired and would love to share our new vacation home with you. Our primary home is in Lake Orion, MI. although we both were born and raised in western Michigan.

Why they chose this property

Phil's mother and grandparents grew up in the area and Benzie County has always been a second home. The family cabin, built in the late '30's is located just a few hundred yards away. Building our own log cabin has always been a goal for Phil and his sister who also built 2 cabins nearby.

What makes this property unique

Special attractions to our place are the birds and other wildlife, the closeness of Lake Michigan and the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Little Platte Lake and the Platte River. We have no neighbors close- by so it provides a very private, quiet, peaceful setting. We especially enjoy our back porch overlooking a quiet stream and woods. We also enjoy evening campfires and back-yard barbecues.
