Surrounded by mature hardwoods and ideally located between Platte Lake and Little Platte Lake, this fully furnished log home offers the classic Northern Michigan setting buyers are looking for, just minutes from Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Known as “Kodiak,” the property sits on approximately 0.76 private acres along scenic Deadstream Road in Honor and has been successfully operated as a year-round short-term rental. Inside, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a warm, inviting layout that blends rustic log home character with comfortable everyday living. Since 2021, the property has undergone extensive improvements and maintenance, including exterior sandblasting, chinking, and staining, plumbing and electrical updates, refinished cement under the carport, and updated furnishings. There is also potential for a future owner to add an additional half bath, creating added flexibility and functionality. Kodiak has historically rented throughout the entire year, creating additional flexibility for continued rental income, seasonal use, or a personal Up North retreat. Outdoor recreation is right at your fingertips, with nearby access to the Platte River, which connects to Little Platte Lake via the Deadstream River, along with boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, golfing, and some of Northern Michigan’s most desirable destinations. Enjoy easy access to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Lake Michigan beaches, local orchards and wineries, the Leelanau Peninsula, and year-round recreation at Crystal Mountain Resort, including skiing, golf, and spa amenities. Traverse City and Frankfort are also just a short drive away. Whether you are searching for an investment opportunity, vacation property, or peaceful getaway, Kodiak offers privacy, strong rental history, and an authentic Northern Michigan atmosphere in one of the area's most sought-after recreational corridors.
