At the end of a private road near the lighthouse and the Leelanau State Park, and within walking distance to the beaches along Lake Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay is the historic Wood How Lodge. This beautiful residence was inspired by the architectural style known as "National Park Rustic”, which emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in response to the growing popularity of national parks and the desire to create structures that blended seamlessly with their natural environments. In 1928, the then Governor of Michigan, offered the lodge to President Hoover as a summer “White House”. Wood How Lodge blends historic charm with modern comforts, showcasing a design rich in native woods and stone. Its authentic character is preserved, yet at the same time, the lodge has been thoughtfully updated with a modern kitchen and baths, offering contemporary conveniences without compromising its timeless appeal. Inside the space is grand in scale with a soaring ceiling, massive fireplaces and an open interior. The plan is balanced, creating a sense of order and harmony. The living areas are centrally located. The winged design on each side of the living areas offers privacy and separation. On the main level the kitchen and dining areas are on one side, while the primary bedroom and media room are on the other. The mezzanine level provides a semi-open space, allowing for natural light and a sense of connection to the floor below. The bedrooms and baths are distributed evenly on both sides. The lodge has a total of 6 bedrooms and 3 baths, plus 2 half baths. Extras include a separate 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom Stone House (former carriage house). A multi-car garage with potential for additional rooms above. A fenced garden, stone potting shed, and a stone storage shed. Plus, an adjoining parcel of land in Cherry Home Shores with access to 4 beachfront parks, tennis, a clubhouse, and hiking trails. Great rental history.
