This Up North home, with our sister home next door on its own private lot (book separately), are the ONLY ones on Margrethe on a natural hill, providing exclusive elevated lake views, with a bonus wide, flat lakeside area. Uniquely private on a street with only 3 homes, ours are separated from that 3rd non-lakefront home by a wooded lot. Experience the tranquility of a natural setting, with a dock and "gazebo"! New flooring, beds, leather sofas, W/D, and back-up generator. Boat ramp close by. We hosted our first guests in early July of 2023. Please see our guest reviews, for both this property and our sister cottage next door, to get a feel for our commitment to offering you a great stay. This is a comfortable no-pets, non-smoking home with lots of conveniences: • Well-stocked kitchen. • Brand-new whole-house natural gas standby generator to protect your valuable vacation time from frequent Northern Michigan power outages. WE ARE THE ONLY RENTALS ON THE LAKE WITH AUTOMATIC WHOLE-HOUSE GENERATORS! The entire house is provided with electricity in a blink-of-an eye during an outage. A true luxury! • Free, fast wifi up to 500 Mbps. • 43" HD TV with upgraded sound bar. • Roku built-in to the TV so you can sign in to your streaming accounts. • Free 125-channel cable service (HGTV, Discovery, ESPN, Fox, CNN, etc.) For those less "techie", the house manual contains novice-level instructions on how to bypass streaming if you only want to watch cable. • Well-lit desk with 6-outlet surge suppressor/power strip with 3 USB charging ports. • Each bedroom has a 6-outlet surge suppressor/power strip with 3 USB charging ports. Once you descend the stairs down the hill, the entire lakefront of the property has a wide, level area to better enjoy the crystal waters of Lake Margrethe! Hang out on the dock, in the "gazebo" with it's own deck, have your lunch at the picnic table, move the folding Adirondack chairs to your favorite part of the property, or take a dip in the lake or lay out in the sun on the provided beach towels. Bring your boat and launch at the public boat ramp and use our dock to load and unload for your outings. Anchor your boat off-shore or use our tie-off to tether your boat to, which is easy to locate via its buoy. We also have easily accessible parking for your boat or snowmobile trailer. (Adirondack chairs, beach towels, dock, tie-off buoy, and fire rings available seasonally.) Have fun, and stay safe, but just in case, we have: • A 180-piece OSHA-certified first aid kit located in the laundry room. • Fire extinguisher under the kitchen sink. • Smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. • Munson Healthcare Grayling, formerly known as Mercy Hospital, located in town only about 6 miles away, at 1100 E. Michigan Avenue. And by the way, most shopping, dining, and nightlife is also in town, only 5 or 6 miles away. By town, we mean the City of Grayling. Yes, with a population of less than 2,000, Grayling wears big britches and calls itself a city! We're located in the unincorporated township of Grayling, but all of Grayling is proud of everything it has to offer for such a small place!
