This property offers 100 feet on West Grand Traverse Bay across from Power island. At the end of the dock is a sitting deck with a 2 person glider - perfect for reading, catching some rays and enjoying the breezes off the water. Enjoy the sunrise over the bay with a cup of coffee or the early evening at sunset with a glass of wine to experience the changing colors of the sky. We call it the "afterglow"once the sun has set. There are some awesome moon rises over the water -

There is room on site here for the boat and trailer (Please contact me with the length) . We do not have a hoist to keep your boat in the water overnight but, there is a floating buoy for temporary day docking. Our dock is usually about 300 feet or so out into the water- There is a ladder into the water at the end for swimmers. We also have a 6'x18' floating pad we can drop in the water once the water temp is warmer.

Feel free to use the fire pit. Just walk past our home down to the water for bonfires and roasting marshmallows- we have wood you can use on site. You can see downtown Traverse City aglow to the South and enoy the stars and often the satellites overhead. With the water lapping the shore, it creates an evening experience that you don't want to end. Be sure to bring your bottle of wine down with you:)
