Family-friendly log home between Harbor Springs, Petoskey, and Mackinaw Island

The White Pine Lodge has a privileged location: it's quiet and peaceful but close to the best Northern Michigan attractions, small towns, and beaches only 15 minutes away. The large front deck is tucked into secluded woods and the back deck overlooks beautiful meadows and hills. Nature sings here, and it isn't called Pleasantview Rd for nothing! The only neighbors for miles are friends or family, and the fields are still farmed by us. A school house more than 100 years old sat on this property until recently donated to a historical society. Our relatives and neighbors attended that school, so the property has a rich past.

Geo-thermal heating and cooling makes this a very comfortable unit year round, and the heated floors are exceptionally comfortable in the winter. The large pine dining table and spacious kitchen help make family meals and time together unforgettable. Cooking or grilling is made easy with all the room. Jurek's Meat and Grocery, a short walk away, has the best meats in Northern Michigan for all your cooking needs.

The main floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The living room has comfortable and spacious seating and a warm gas fireplace. On each side of the living room are sliding glass doors for easy access to the balcony for the great view, fresh air, and starry nights. One floor up is the loft with a bed, a recliner and wool rug.

The lower level has lots of seating with many large sofas. There are 2 bedrooms down here, a full bathroom, an exercise room, entertainment area with a 50" flat screen, and a laundry room.

Bathroom 1 - Large jacuzzi tub with spacious stand in ceramic/glass shower.
Bathroom 2 - Large shower/tub combination and cathedral ceilings.
Bathroom 3 - Combination Tub/Shower

Bedroom 1 - One Queen
Bedroom 2 - One Queen

Wonderful property near Petosky

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful property. We were a party of twelve and never felt cramped. The house is huge with wonderful light. It is private yet close enough to all of the action. We spent on day on Mackinac Island and the other days touring in and around Petosky. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. The only “issue” we had was that there was only on bottle of shampoo for the two bathrooms. We worked it out. The house was spotless. We would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling in this area.

The property is amazing; set on a hillside with a western facing deck, one can view magnificent sunsets that show the beauty of our skies. We had 6 women who graduated high school in 1970, and have been annually getting together to renew our friendships.

Amazing Rental

We stayed here while skiing at Nubs Nob. The house is so beautiful, so spacious, and so comfortable. We had so many of us, but you could never tell because there’s so much room. James was so accommodating and very easy to get a hold of. When we return to the area will definitely book again. Highly recommend.

Great house for large groups

We were a multi-generational group with two different families and 12 folks in total (6 adults, 6 kids). The house easily accommodated all of us with plenty of space to hang out, and we didn't even maximize the whole property! The kids loved the apple tree out front, the big pine tree for climbing, and the jacuzzi tub in the master suite. Grownups rotated between the main living room, kitchen bar area, and the deck, with plenty of other lounging areas. It was on a bigger road so sometimes big trucks would come flying threw, but it was set back enough that it wasn't too big of a deal. All-in-all, it was great for our needs.

Beautiful cabin and great for a family Reunion

We had our annual reunion here with three families, ages ranging from 65 - 2 years old and a dog. Place was great for everyone and enough kitchen and bathroom amenities. We spent a night outside around the fire making s'mores and laid in the grass star gazing. During the day we spent time at nearby Pelosky, Harbor Springs, and Mackinac Island.

beautiful house, quiet and secluded property

The house itself was gorgeous. Very spacious. Felt like having your own private ski lodge. Only about a 20 minute drive to Petosksy, Mackinac City, and Harbor Springs. There is a small grocery store and butcher shop half a mile down the road. The sunset over the farm across the street was beautiful. The grounds were not well kept. A very loud, whole house, security/smoke alarm went off spontaneously for about 20 minutes in the middle of the afternoon, and they had no idea what to do about it. It stopped on its own, and the answer was to just hope it doesnt happen again. That was a little disconcerting. However, the property manager was very attentive, and friendly. No hard feelings. The air conditioning worked really well. Super hot days and the inside was cold. The beds and pillows were not very comfortable. Check in was at 5:00 pm, which is pretty late, and they were actually cleaning until then so there was no way to get in the house early.
