About this property

Poplar at Lake Bluff Preserve-Spectacular Lake Michigan Views-Sleeps 8

Newer construction on Lake Bluff Preserve property overlooking Lake Michigan. Beautiful vistas from most rooms and small, private deck.

The Poplar apartment has a private entrance but is attached to a larger home called Spruce. It can be rented separately or by a large group in the Spruce with doors connecting the units on the main and bedroom floors. *Spruce and Poplar are automatically rented as one unit during summer (June, July, August).

Poplar two bedroom, 1.5 baths sleeps 8 in beds and has a large sofa, sleeper sofa and rollaway to accommodate a few more. Fully appointed modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances open to the main floor living space.

The Frankfort area is home to a deep water marina, the Stormcloud Brewery, Pointe Betsie Lighthouse, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Arcadia Bluffs Golf Courses, wine tours, skiing at Crystal Mountain and you don't need to leave our property to hike, mountain bike and explore the dune and forests. Snowshoeing and cross country skiing can be enjoyed from your front door in the Winter. Crystal and Platte Lakes and the Betsie and Platte rivers provide sportsmen with fishing, kayaking, tubing and swimming with many gear rental businesses in the area.
Watch sunsets, bald eagles, whitetail deer, monarch butterflies and other native species from the comfort of your deck.

**Due to high water and erosion on Lake Michigan, we have closed the stairs down the Bluff. If you wish to spend time on the beach, we recommend the Frankfort Public Beach or any of the public beaches on Crystal Lake. We hope to reopen the stairs as soon as mother nature allows us.**

Very close proximity to M-22 makes Lake Bluff Preserve a great rally point for car and motorcycle touring clubs, wine tourists, retreats and reunions, golfers and anyone who wants a to behold the beauty of Lake Michigan and Northwest Michigan. Less than an hour to Traverse City, Leland, Arcadia Bluffs and Crystal Mountain.

A wonderful and relaxing space
We had a great weekend with amazing views right out the windows! We couldn't find a broom or vacuum and would have loved to have one to clean up after ourselves better.

Beautiful wedding weekend
This property was the perfect venue to host our intimate family-only wedding. 21 family members comfortably stayed here (Spruce & Poplar) - it was relaxing, spacious, and ideally laid out!

Getaway
We loved location and views. Close to many cute towns and good restaurants. The best part was that there were a few days we had entire property to ourselves. My brother and sister-in-law came over from Cadillac to spend a few days with us. It was a nice time.

Why they chose this property

Lake Bluff Preserve is special because of the land and beauty of the Lake Michigan shoreline and South/West exposure. There are opportunities to find total seclusion or interact with fellow guests in the two other free-standing homes on the bluff.

What makes this property unique

Sweeping Lake Michigan vistas and nightly sunsets make this a very special place to vacation. Stunning views that show why the "Third Coast" is amazing.
