PONTOON NOW INCLUDED!! Waterfront Duck Lake Cottage Interlochen, Traverse City!

Truly a property like no other! This unique and rustic getaway is nestled in the trees, perched on the shores of renowned Duck Lake. Featuring a walk out patio with stunning views of Duck Lake's majestic crystal clear blue waters and sandy bottom. Winnipesaukee is the Indian word for "beautiful water in a high place" and this property is the perfect place to getaway from it all and yet just a short one and half miles from everything Interlochen has to offer. An easy drive to the resort town of Traverse City as well. Our historic lake house built in 1935 boasts seven sleeping areas, room for everyone, one main floor sleeping area and the rest are on the second level with a balcony overlooking the great room with vaulted ceilings. The sun room provides breathtaking views of the lake and protection from the weather, step outside and enjoy all that northern Michigan has to offer. The rustic lakefront house has its own private beach, no roads to cross, just fun and relaxation. At night sit around the built in fire pit on the bricked patio and enjoy a quiet night in "Up North Michigan". Walk down our private staircase that leads to the waters edge where you are greeted by a sandy beach and our boat dock; this unique space is the perfect place to enjoy the vibe of the lake and the abundance of fun. Step aboard our included (June 1st to October 20th) 2021 Bennington Pontoon and power out to the lake to Relax and Restore - Winnipesaukee Cottage has it all.

Interlochen has many great features including concerts, a world class school of the arts, small shops, many restaurants, ice cream and beautiful lakes. If you want to head to Traverse City it is a 15 minute car ride away.

We have made many updates for the upcoming season, new kitchen with stainless steel appliances and new cabinets. The lower lever shower has a modern/retro feel. The upstairs shower is modern with a glass door. A pontoon boat with room for 10 and a grill on the patio. There is AC in the living area and a beautiful gas heating fireplace with touch pad controls, the bedrooms all have screened windows to let in the cool night air and two 72” ceiling fans in the great room will keep the air moving. Kayaks, paddle board are included. New carpeting and new bathroom flooring has been installed. We hope you like what we’ve done to make your stay the best it can be!

Perfect stay for my group
I rented the house with a group of co-workers as a couple day get away from work. The place was perfect for the group. With it being almost October, we didn’t know what to expect weather wise. It turned out to be a beautiful day and the ability to take the pontoon boat on the lake made for a great time. The place was clean upon arrival and provided a very comfortable setting for everyone to relax. Check in and check out was easy and the owners replied promptly and were accommodating. I would certainly recommend this place to others.

Squeaky Comfort
Very nice experience, nicely located on a non overloaded lake, with a small town 3 minutes up the road for any of your needs. The house is older with lots of wood. With that being said, there are allot of squeaks as you walk on the second level where bedrooms are. There is definitely no sneaking around in the middle of the night, as everyone will indeed hear you. This is not a negative, but merely adds to the charm of the house.

What a cozy perfect cabin on the lake! These hosts have everything and more imaginable that you don’t even know you need! So much space and so clean. The lake offered crystal clear water and so much fun lake equipment!!! The pontoon is so clean and the convenience of having it already at the house is so easy and relaxing! Will definitely book again! Got to the area early and the host let us check in early!

This is a very nice cottage with that Up North feel and lots of bedrooms. Duck Lake is great for swimming and fishing. Having the pontoon was an added benefit. Cottage is conveniently located with Tom’s Grocery just down the road. We had a great time.

Great management of property
The lake set up is beautiful. Loved how you can start walking ankle high to deeper water!! The boat was a great must have for the lake too. We did have an issue during check-in, but Ed took full ownership, and he took care of it.. We are very happy. They proved they are very concerned and dedicated to making sure your stay is great!!

Beautiful cottage, great location
We had a great weekend at this cottage! It is a beautiful view over the lake, and comfortably slept two families with five kids age 6-14. Short drive to Traverse City, even shorter into Interlochen for restaurants, ice cream, and groceries. Quiet neighborhood. We will definitely be back!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Just book it you wont regret it!
We stayed as a group for wine tasting in Traverse City area. The location was perfect. The cottage is right on beautiful Duck Lake. We were able to enjoy mornings sipping hot coffee, watching the majestic sunrise over the lake from the cozy sunroom. We spent some time on the pontoon boat exploring the lake and watching the many loons. The cottage had ample sleeping areas, everyone had their own room and bed, the beds were SO comfortable. We had plenty of room to cook meals and the kitchen was VERY well stocked, we appreciated the many spices and supplies we didn't have to buy. The evenings were spent sitting in front of the gas fireplace, drinking the wine we purchased from the vineyards. We all agreed that this was the best place we've stayed at and have already booked again for next year. Thank you again for sharing your incredible cottage with us.

Interlochen Arts Academy Graduation Stay
This cottage on Duck Lake was the perfect place for family to gather to relax before our daughter's graduation from IAA (located only minutes from the school) and celebrate after! Lots of great indoor and outdoor spaces at this beautiful lakeside location gave us room to eat meals and play games at times and then spread out for some solitude later. Lots of amenities and super responsive hosts made this a wonderful experience!

We had a blast!
We booked this cabin last minute right before our 8 year old started 2nd grade and we are so glad we did! Everything was the way it was described and the communication back and forth was great. The cabin has a rustic/modern feel to it, which is what we like when it comes to a lake cabin! All the bedrooms are so cute and clean and they have everything you need for your stay. We absolutely loved the new pontoon boat, it was so nice and comfortable (and relaxing)! Our 5 year old enjoyed the kayaks and the paddle boards early in the morning with my husband and all the kids enjoyed the sandy beach by the dock to build castles and play in it. Needless to say it was great quality time for our little family before the busy school year starts! We really enjoyed exploring Michigan too! We will definitely be back :)

After years of heading south to the beaches of the Carolinas, our family decided to try something different this year. Our lake vacation in Northern Michigan did not disappoint! The sunrises were breathtaking, the boat rides were amazing, and the lake vibe was just what our entire group needed. The host provides everything needed for a perfect getaway, and even though the temperatures for our week were unseasonably warm, we had a fabulous time!
