Tucked into the woods between Platte Lake and Little Platte Lake, and just minutes from Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, this fully furnished and established short-term rental offers a great opportunity to own a Northern Michigan getaway with proven rental appeal. Known as “Brown Bear,” this charming cabin sits on approximately 0.46 acres along scenic Deadstream Road in Honor, surrounded by mature trees and a peaceful Up North setting. The home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a warm and inviting interior, and a functional layout that blends cottage charm with everyday comfort.
