Explore Sleeping Bear: Roadhouse

Welcome to Sandbar Shores on Big Platte Lake. This micro-resort is comprised of three cottages with direct beachfront access and enjoyment of Big Platte Lake. Big Platte Lake is nestled in the heart of the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and is shallow, warm and sandy.

The Roadhouse Cottage is steps away from the lake and offers lovely views. This two bedroom cottage is furnished with two twin beds, and a master bedroom consisting of a full bed. The living room has a pull out sofa for additional sleeping. This cottage can accommodate five people. There is a fully functional kitchen and one bathroom.

Each cottage is outfitted with a/c, heat, WiFi, Roku televisions, gas grills, linens, towels, pillows, and personal fire pits. The sandy beach lakefront is a shared area between all of the cottages so we request that visitors are limited and courtesy be given to the other quests while enjoying the amenities.

There is working laundry facilities on the premises that is located in the basement of the Main House. Guests from all three cottages have access to the laundry facilities. There are also 2 mooring buoys.

Whether you're looking to explore the dunes, waterways, hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, tour the wineries of M-22, or just admire the northern Michigan sunsets and scenery our cottages will not disappoint.

Exceptional vacation
Three adult men in the roadhouse cabin. We had all we needed and were close to great fishing spots. Would come back over and over again. Families played on the beach during the day. We were able to sit out and enjoy the lake at night. We even caught sight of some unusual light movements in the nighttime sky! This place was perfect!

Great family stay!
We had a really nice stay at the cabin for five nights. The lake is nice for swimming, and the kids love playing with all of the water toys available for use. It was a great launching spot to visit the dunes and other area attractions.

First time to MI - Awesome place!
Amazing! We loved staying on Platte lake and at this property. The amenities were awesome. My kids (6/11) figured out how to kayak and found some new outdoor adventures. I enjoyed my coffee sitting by lake and even saw a bald eagle fly by a few mornings!! Sunsets, grilling, and campfires at night warmed my heart. Sleeping bear dunes, lake MI beach, and adorable towns are a short drive away. We did so many things but found we loved chilling at this property, swimming and fishing on Platte the most. The owner was so helpful and was quick to respond to any questions. We will be coming back!

Wonderful getaway spot
We loved staying at the roadhouse and look forward to visiting this property again in the future. Even with three rentals on the property we felt like we had plenty of outdoor space and enjoyed the shared dock, kayaks and beach area. The property owners were helpful with anything we needed and we absolutely loved all of the extras they provide (indoor and outdoor games, beach toys, life jackets, laundry facilities, etc). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Platte Lake.

Cute little Cabin
My family stayed for the week and loved every minute. The house was very clean upon our arrival. Loved that there were starter items at the house such as soap, paper towel, toilet paper, etc. The house is exactly as pictured on the website. The house is dated but adds charm. Each house on the property had plenty of yard space and individual fire pits. Water was warm and shallow. Beautiful views. Owner was quick to respond. Very close to a lot of activities. Definitely recommend checking out Sleeping Bear Dunes (bring a lot of water!!), Glen Haven Bay two miles from the Dunes, Cherry Bowl Drive-In, Crystal Lake and pyramid point. Easy day trips to Traverse city and Mackinac Island.

The Best Location
My family had a great stay in Honor! The location could not have been better...close to so many beaches and adorable towns! We found a different location every day to explore. And, when we needed a minute to relax, staying at the cabin and playing in the lake was equally fun for our kiddos. The property/lake front was shared, but each cabin had a spot to call their own, including our own fire pit. The cabin was small - which we knew going in - but it met every need for us. The owners were friendly and helpful. As a bonus, the basement in the main house had laundry and beach toys/chairs/etc. available to us. I wouldn't hesitate to return, but my growing family may need to rent the big house :)
