This 4 bd / 3.5 ba cottage, inspired by hygge, is the perfect retreat for families and small groups looking to escape to a Up North paradise! It sits 2 miles north of Elk Rapids, between Torch Lake and Lake Michigan, and features 70 feet of frontage on Birch Lake; a beautiful all-sports inland lake. Here, guests will be within striking distance of Northern Michigan's best attractions: Torch Lake, The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lake Shore, downtown Traverse City, and even Mackinaw Island. This home was built in the summer of 2023 and was created with guest convenience and spaciousness in mind; the home is very 'hygge'. For those unfamiliar with hygge: it's a Danish cultural term that roughly translates to cozy, yet symbolizes togetherness, making memories, comfort, and joy; all of which we hope to help our guests experience during their stay at the Dandelion Cottage! The main floor has multiple bathrooms, the main bedroom, a large open floor plan featuring a living room, kitchen, and dining room, as well as a gorgeous view of Birch Lake through the sliding doors that exits to the porch. The upper floor has an additional 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, a large open living space and storage room. Two of the bedrooms have views of the lakefront, while the third is larger and faces the front yard; are well lit with natural light. Outside there is 70 feet of lake frontage, a good sized beach and yard, as well as a storage shed, porch/deck, and fire pit. Finally, there is an attached garage that guests are welcomed to use during their stay with two parking spaces included; 2 - 3 additional parking spaces are available in the driveway.
