House Description

Tucked into the woods between Platte Lake and Little Platte Lake, and just minutes from Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, this fully furnished and established short-term rental offers a great opportunity to own a Northern Michigan getaway with proven rental appeal. Known as “Brown Bear,” this charming cabin sits on approximately 0.46 acres along scenic Deadstream Road in Honor, surrounded by mature trees and a peaceful Up North setting. The home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a warm and inviting interior, and a functional layout that blends cottage charm with everyday comfort. Improvements since 2021 include underground power service and updated furnishings. The exterior has been well maintained, and the wooded setting provides a private, relaxing atmosphere for both owners and guests. As a short-term rental, Brown Bear benefits from its prime location near some of Northern Michigan’s best outdoor recreation. Enjoy easy access to the Platte River, which connects to Little Platte Lake via the Deadstream River, along with boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, and golfing. The property is also conveniently located near the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Lake Michigan beaches, local orchards and wineries, the scenic Leelanau Peninsula, and year-round recreation at Crystal Mountain Resort, including skiing, golf, and spa amenities.
