Property Description
[Occupied property. Appointment required to walk the property or tour the home] SWEET LAKE RETREAT | A magical A-frame set on 3 acres with 300’ of private frontage on Sweet Lake, one of Benzie County's best kept secrets. Located twenty minutes to downtown Traverse City & twenty minutes to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, this is the ideal Up North location. Sold fully furnished so you can show up and enjoy immediately. Major recent updates include: new roof, flooring, carpet, appliances, furniture & interior paint in 2023, updated septic pump & 300-gallon propane tank in 2024, and fiber internet installed in 2025. Inside, soaring ceilings & large windows frame the water from nearly every angle. The main floor holds one bedroom, with a second non-conforming bedroom tucked into the open loft above. A stone fireplace anchors the living space, and a sliding door opens to the deck & the lake beyond. Outside, over 3 acres of space provides privacy and room to play. Flat, grassy yard on both sides of the house means room for a fire pit, loungers, picnic tables and yard games. A large 2-car detached garage handles storage & gear, and the cordwood shed is a work of art in its own right. Sweet Lake has no public launch or public access, so the water stays clear and quiet. Non-motorized boats allowed. This home carries a proven short term rental history with Airbnb “Guest Favorite” status and 100+ five-star reviews. The rental opportunity provides a meaningful way to offset carrying costs when you’re not using the property yourself (buyers to verify rental permitting process with township).
