Tastefully updated cottage on lovely little Perch Lake! You could spend hours on the screened in porch relaxing to the sound of the lake or the wind rustling through the leaves.

This adorable cottage is move-in ready, comes fully furnished and would make a perfect year round residence, up-north getaway or short-term rental investment. Conveniently located near hundreds of acres of state land, ORV trails, rivers and just a short drive to Traverse City, Kalkaska and Cadillac.

This year round cottage offers peace and serenity with its wooded lot and private water frontage on Perch Lake. The screened in porch allows everyone to enjoy some moonlight magic after a day filled with canoeing and fishing. Park the cars and your sleds in the over sized detached garage. With a main floor bedroom and 2 more upstairs there is space for the whole crew. Forgot the milk? A convenient country store is just around the corner, Kalkaska is a 20 minute drive and Traverse City is a quick 26 miles.
