About this house rental

Welcome to Sandbar Shores on Big Platte Lake. This micro-resort is comprised of three cottages with direct beachfront access and enjoyment of Big Platte Lake. Big Platte Lake is nestled in the heart of the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and is shallow, warm and sandy.

The Big House is steps away from the lake and offers lovely views. This four bedroom house is furnished with two king beds, a queen bed, and two twin beds. There is a living room on the main floor with a 58" television, two couches, two recliners and a large dining table. There is a second living room upstairs with a 43" television, a couch, and two chairs.

Each cottage is outfitted with a/c (The Big House only has AC upstairs, which does cool the downstairs a bit), heat, WiFi, Roku televisions, gas grills, linens, towels, pillows, and personal fire pits. The sandy beach lakefront is a shared area between all of the cottages so we request that visitors are limited and courtesy be given to the other quests while enjoying the amenities.

There is working laundry facilities on the premises that is located in the basement of The Big House. Guests from all three cottages have access to the laundry facilities. There are also 2 mooring buoys.

Whether you're looking to explore the dunes, waterways, hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, tour the wineries of M-22, or just admire the northern Michigan sunsets and scenery our cottages will not disappoint.

Our family of 6 were very comfortable. The home was clean. The kitchen was well stocked. We really enjoyed the patio and the breeze off the lake. We enjoyed swimming and we liked the mooring for the boat. We would come again.
