Maybe you weren't born in a barn - but why not vacation in one?

Designed and decorated in '05 to resemble an old barn, but comfortable and cozy with a touch of class. The home is also setup with the family in mind, with separate areas for adults and little ones alike. Enjoy panoramic views of Upper Herring Lake Valley from the top floor. This huge 2600 sq. ft. home is in a word, FUN !
 
Located on all-sports Upper Herring Lake with 140' of private water frontage*, this 5 bedroom, 2 bath home sits on 2.5 acres on a quiet, peaceful country road and is surrounded by a perfect blend of rolling hills, woodlands, orchards and vineyards. 
 
Also, just 2-3 minutes **walk down the boardwalk through the protected natural area await enough waterfront amenities to fill a barn! There is a row boat, 2 kayaks, 1 towable Floating Aqua-Play-Mat, life jackets in various shapes & sizes, full dock w/moorings for extra boats, fire pit w/chairs, rope hammock, chaise lounge, and as an extra bonus we include the use a ***pontoon boat free of charge ( a $1,000 value). Oh, and did we mention 10 gallons of free premixed fuel!

When are these amenities available: Pontoon boat w/10 gal free fuel (Memorial week til early October), Floating Aqua-Play-Mat (Memorial Week thru Labor Day Week), kayaks (May 1st til Nov 1st), row boat (April 1st til Nov 15th), dock (Mid-May til Nov 1st).

*Typical Northern Michigan soft mica bottom, NOT SANDY. The lakefront feels mucky near the shoreline.

**2-3 minutes for healthy adults and children, for those with health issues it could take a little longer since it's 200 feet. Home also sits on a slight grade so the walk back could be a concern for those with health issues.

***As a FREE bonus to our guests in our summer months, we offer you the use of one of a pontoon boats. They are nothing special. They are clean and well maintained. They range in size from 18-24ft. They range in age from 20-30 years old w/2stroke motors ranging from 25 - 35 hp. While these boats may not fulfill the boating dreams of some people, they are perfect for a sunset cruise or a family fishing outing. We even supply you with 10 gallons of pre-mixed gasoline! To get the most enjoyment from these boats it is recommended that person with a knowledge of boating and two stroke motors be involved operating them. If not we do have full instructions, and technical assistance available if necessary. See photo of typical pontoon boat.

---- Also we provide a starter supply of paper/soap products which should be enough for a typical 2 night stay for smaller groups of 2 - 4 people. For a complete list of "what is provided" and "things to bring", check out "Using the property”, on your “My Trip” page.

- For our winter guests we recommend bringing an all-wheel-drive vehicle or at the very least a front wheel drive with good snow tires.
