Birch at Lake Bluff Preserve-Spectacular Lake Michigan Views-Sleeps 20

Built in 2018, the Birch house at Lake Bluff Preserve is perfect for large families and groups offering 9 bedrooms and four levels of living space with Lake Michigan views. Spacious and well-appointed main floor has an open floor plan, modern kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, and large dining area. Wraparound decks on two levels and a south/west exposure high above Lake Michigan provide spectacular views of the dune, water and famous West Michigan sunsets.
Each level has a separate living space so groups and families can spread out. Main and second levels each have master suites.

The Frankfort area is home to a deep water marina, the Stormcloud Brewery, Pointe Betsie Lighthouse, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Arcadia Bluffs Golf Courses, wine tours, skiing at Crystal Mountain and you don't need to leave our property to hike, mountain bike and explore the dune and forests. Snowshoeing and cross country skiing can be enjoyed from your front door in the Winter. Crystal and Platte Lakes and the Betsie and Platte rivers provide sportsmen with fishing, kayaking, tubing and swimming with many gear rental businesses in the area.
Watch sunsets, bald eagles, whitetail deer, monarch butterflies and other native species from the comfort of your deck.

**Due to high water and erosion on Lake Michigan, we have closed the stairs down the Bluff. If you wish to spend time on the beach, we recommend the Frankfort Public Beach or any of the public beaches on Crystal Lake.

Very close proximity to M-22 makes Lake Bluff Preserve a great rally point for car and motorcycle touring clubs, wine tourists, retreats and reunions, golfers and anyone who wants a to behold the beauty of Lake Michigan and Northern Michigan. Less than an hour to Traverse City, Leland, Arcadia Bluffs and Crystal Mountain.
