Northlight Lodge: Your Pristine Dual-Lake Sanctuary
Bedroom 1: | King | Bedroom 2 | King | Bedroom 3 | Bunkbed (Twin on the top and full on the bottom) + Den: 1 Queen and queen size air mattress
Experience the ultimate Northern Michigan retreat at Northlight Lodge, where your backyard is a 100-foot gateway to crystal-clear freshwater paradise. Nestled on the serene shores of Mickey Lake, this home offers the rare "best of both worlds" lake experience: enjoy peaceful, glass-still mornings for kayaking and paddleboarding, then navigate the direct channel to the high-energy, all-sports waters of Long Lake for boating and tubing. The water here is famously clean and refreshing; jump right off our private dock into a weed-free, sandy-bottom swimming area that is perfect for all ages. After a day on the water, retreat inside to a home bathed in natural light, where floor-to-ceiling windows ensure the lake views never leave your sight.

The heart of the home is a chef-ready, well-equipped kitchen featuring high-end appliances, perfect for preparing local farm-to-table finds. Whether you're hosting a formal family meal in the indoor dining area or enjoying a breezy sunset dinner on the deck, the home is designed for seamless entertaining. The interior is thoughtfully curated for both luxury and comfort, featuring a primary King sanctuary with a spa-inspired walk-in shower, complete with dual rain showerheads and two wall-mounted heads. While every bedroom is equipped with a flat-screen TV, the screen-free library offers a quiet escape with a massive curated collection of books and cozy reading nooks scattered throughout the house. Whether you're BBQing on the expansive deck or exploring downtown Traverse City just 15 minutes away, Northlight Lodge offers the perfect balance of "away from it all" peace and "close to everything" convenience.

Beyond the shoreline, you are perfectly positioned to explore the crown jewels of the North, from the towering vistas of Sleeping Bear Dunes to the award-winning wineries of Old Mission Peninsula. This is a true four-season haven: come for the turquoise waters of summer, the vibrant "color tour" foliage of fall, or a snowy winter weekend near the local ski hills and holiday markets of downtown TC.
