About This Home

As of November 2019

Beautiful log home nestled in the woods. Enjoy a cup of coffee, while watching the surrounding wild life from the charming front porch. Peace and tranquility abound in this recently updated cabin just off the beaten path but still close to Kalkaska, Bellaire, Torch Lake and just a short drive to Traverse City.
