Ellsworth House | Escape and Relax; Steps Away from Lake Michigan

2 Bedroom House in Ellsworth

Our newly built home nestled in the woods is on a private drive. Five minutes walking distance to the private beach is Grand Traverse Bay where you can relax, swim or awe at the spectacular sunsets.
The surrounding towns/cities are charming and friendly offering a wide variety of options should you wish to venture away from the house. Just to name a few... Charlevoix has its Farmers Market, Venetian Festival and Candlelight Hike; Elk Rapids: Evening on River Street, Harbor Days and its Farmers Market and Bellaire: Music in the Streets, Rubber Ducky Festival & Parade and Harvest Festival. Our Welcome Binder lists other suggestions for art galleries, boating, skiing, U-pick orchards, golf, hiking, wineries/breweries/distilleries and of course, restaurants.
Our home is centrally located between Charlevoix and Elk Rapids (20 minutes in either direction) and is just minutes away from a general store (Eastport Market) and Torch Lake.
It features a great room with living room, dining and a fully equipped kitchen. This open concept also features large windows that not only provide for natural light but unobstructed views of nature, most often the deer as they come by to grass. There are no fences.
There are blackout curtains in both bedrooms, extra blankets and pillows as well as dressers and ample closet space. Both bathrooms have walk-in showers, bidet toilets and are stocked with basic amenities: shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
Additionally, you have a two (2) car garage and a full laundry room (washer and dryer). There may be some detergent and fabric softener left by previous guests but none provided by the host. As mentioned, this is a newly built house with construction completed fall 2024. The pictures show a large covered front porch and a furnished rear deck. The house has central heat and air conditioning and should it be necessary, it is connected to a whole house generator that kicks on automatically in the event of a power outage. Lastly, we have fiber optic Wi-Fi.
In addition to local markets, Family Fare has several markets in the area but you can have groceries delivered to the house during your stay or just prior to arrival through StockedUp.com.
You have full access of the house plus all the amenities and conveniences found inside except for the locked storage sheds that are in the garage.
In the kitchen help yourself to any foods left by your hosts or previous guests.
The home is located in Timberlane Terrace, a private community on a private dirt road. Some of the homeowners live here year-round. Other homeowners have vacation rentals here and for still others, it is their seasonal get-a-way retreat.
In the winter season the road and driveway are plowed but we still recommend a four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle.

Summary: We loved our time at this home. It is furnished beautifully, and supplied with everthing needed. We were impressed with the quality of everything in the home as well. The gorgeous beach, that we had access to, with our dog, was a highlight!! Communication was excellent as well. Always quick responses!!
