Description
Four bedrooms, sleeps 10, all on one level, five minutes from Torch Lake. Fall color in this part of Northern Michigan peaks October 8 to 23, and the wooded lot here turns with it. Traverse City is 40 minutes out for harvest season on the Old Mission and Leelanau wine trails. Bellaire and Short's Brewing are close. Come back to a fireplace, an open layout with room for a full house, and a backyard firepit under an open sky. Central A/C, full kitchen, laundry on site.
The space
Four bedrooms, sleeps 10, all on one level, five minutes from Torch Lake. Wood-burning fireplace, open-concept layout with room for a full house, and a backyard firepit on a wooded lot with no light pollution.
This is where the family trip actually happens. Single level means nobody feels disconnected. The kids take the bunk room, the adults get their space, and by the first night everyone finds their rhythm.
Fall is the best-value season up here and the prettiest one. Color in this part of Northern Michigan peaks roughly October 8 through 23, and the drive along Torch Lake and the Chain of Lakes during that window is the one people post pictures of. Traverse City is 40 minutes out and harvest season on Old Mission and Leelanau is in full swing — the tasting rooms are open, the crowds are gone, and the vineyards are turning. Bellaire has Short's Brewing nine minutes from Torch Lake, and Shanty Creek golf stays open through October with the best rates of the year.
When the day winds down, the backyard firepit is where Pine Haven earns it. Wooded lot, open sky, dark by 7. The kind of evening where nobody checks their phone.
4 bedrooms. Sleeps 10. Single level. Built for families who want Northern Michigan fall done right.
