This special cabin, with a cottage feel, includes a full kitchen, dining and living areas, a bathroom on the first floor, a free-standing cast iron propane stove, and a lofted bedroom above. Windows across the entirety of the lakeside frame spectacular vista views of the beach, Lake Superior, the Huron Mountains and Huron Islands across the bay. Covered porches on both the front and back provide ample opportunity for watching stunning sunrises while enjoying a cup of coffee, watching ships or seeing people enjoy the beach all day. The cabin's charm lies in the wood details. The flooring and custom kitchen countertops are southern yellow pine sourced from the southeastern states and milled at the Connor Flooring Mill in Amasa, MI. The pine bathroom flooring is local and was milled north of Crystal Falls, MI. The interior paneling was milled in Mohawk from locally sawn white pine lumber. Cabin has been meticulously maintained since the original 1997 custom-build. This cabin sits upon an expansive sand beach, culturally and archaeologically significant to the historic Upper Peninsula, Michigan mining era. The 100' of unique black sand beach, reminiscent of those in Hawaii and Greece, is a playground for unlimited fun and enjoyment.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Big Traverse Bay Historic District, originally a logging camp, is a quaint Finnish fishing village community with boat houses, net reels, cedar-shake covered fishing buildings and ice houses, saunas, a boat launch and navigation lights on the break wall piers. This community remains an active and robust fishing community. Grand Traverse Bay Harbor, the only safe harbor between South Portage entry and Lac Labelle, is an official state of MICHIGAN SAFE HARBOR. Offshore and adjacent to the boat launch in the safe harbor, is the Buffalo Reef Natural Fishery, 2,200' of one of Lake Superior's most vitally productive whitefish and trout spawning regions.
