Home Details:


Great Room / Main Living Area

The heart of the home is a spacious open-concept great room designed for gathering. Comfortable premium furnishings, generous seating, and an easy connection to the kitchen and dining areas make this an ideal space for families and groups to spend time together without feeling crowded.

Kitchen

A large, fully equipped kitchen provides plenty of room for preparing everything from a quick breakfast to a full family dinner. Its open design keeps the cook connected to the rest of the group and makes meal preparation part of the gathering rather than something separate.

Dining Area

The dining area flows naturally from the kitchen and great room, creating one large social space for meals, conversation, games, and celebrations. It's particularly well suited to the larger groups the home accommodates.

Sunroom

The sunroom provides another dedicated living space away from the main gathering areas. Filled with natural light and views of the surrounding setting, it's a comfortable place for morning coffee, reading, conversation, or simply enjoying a quieter moment.

Game Room

The dedicated game room gives kids and adults their own place to play and unwind. More importantly for larger groups, it provides another entertainment area so everyone doesn't have to gather in the same room. It has a large 85" TV with a Switch 2 game console including Mario Kart World, Super Smash Brothers and Super Mario World. To relax it also has a full Jacuzzi massage chair, an upright Arcade console with over 300 classic games, a card table and a desk with a computer and laser color printer if a bit of work needs to be done.

Five Bedrooms

The home's five bedrooms provide private retreats throughout the house. With accommodations for up to 12 guests, the bedroom arrangement allows extended families and multiple families traveling together to enjoy the advantages of a large vacation home while still having personal space. The number of beds also allows flexibility when setting different kids into their own space

Bedrooms Include:

Main Floor King Room with 1 king bed, a single bed and pull out trundle. It features an on suite bathroom with shower and walk in closet

Upstairs King Room: 1 King bed and a bathroom with shower

Upstairs Queen Room: 1 queen bed with a full suite bathroom

Upstairs Twin Room: 2 single beds with a bathroom across the hall

Upstairs Twin Room with Trundles: Sleeping 4 and has a single bed with 2 trundles. The full bathroom has a tub and shower.

4.5 Bathrooms

With four full bathrooms plus a half bath, Platte Lake Preserve is particularly comfortable for larger groups. Multiple bathrooms reduce the morning and evening bottleneck that can be common when 10–12 people vacation together.

Main-Floor Laundry Room

The main-floor laundry room provides convenient access to a washer and dryer and also serves as the designated location for the home's first-aid kit.

Upstairs Laundry

A second laundry area upstairs adds another layer of convenience, especially for extended stays and larger families.

Outdoor Living

The living space continues outdoors with areas designed for dining, grilling, relaxing in the hot tub, gathering around the fire pit, and enjoying outdoor games. Guests also have convenient access to the nearby Mt. Minnie Nature Preserve walking trails.

Explore Sleeping Bear Dunes

Platte Lake Preserve makes an ideal home base for discovering Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, where Lake Michigan beaches, towering dunes, rivers, forests and more than 100 miles of hiking trails create nearly endless opportunities for adventure.

Spend a day climbing the famous Dune Climb, or take the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive for spectacular overlooks of Lake Michigan, Glen Lake and the surrounding dunes. Hikers can explore favorites such as Empire Bluff Trail, while cyclists and walkers can enjoy the paved Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail.

Closer to Platte Lake Preserve, guests can canoe, kayak or tube the Platte River, ending near the beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline. The National Lakeshore also offers miles of sandy beaches for swimming, walking, picnicking and unforgettable sunsets.

For a change of pace, explore the historic village of Glen Haven, visit the Maritime Museum, discover the historic farms of Port Oneida, or make a full-day adventure of a trip to South Manitou Island.

Beyond the park, Platte Lake Preserve's location makes it easy to combine outdoor adventures with visits to Empire, Frankfort, Glen Arbor and other Northern Michigan communities. Whether your perfect day means hiking a bluff, floating the river, climbing a dune, relaxing on a Lake Michigan beach or exploring a small town, some of the region's signature experiences are within easy reach of the house.
