About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
La Casita del Bosque (Little House in the Woods), welcomes you into a custom built 3000 sq ft Timberpeg home with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, located on a 25 acre spring fed lake only 8 minutes from Munising and the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore! La Casita sits on 11.5 wooded acres for your total relaxation, peace and quiet! Three TV’s (streaming channels) and WiFi Internet is included as well as a laundry room with washer and dryer; a starter of paper and soap products are provided as well as bed linens and bath towels;
La Casita was locally designed and built with a timber frame construction by 'Timberpeg'. The wood for this outstanding home was recycled from standing dead Douglas Fir, harvested from the Mt. Hood Region of Oregon. The front and back doors, stair rails, casement and trim were all hand made and resawn from the extra timbers. The table top and kitchen island is custom made from black walnut, and the kitchen cabinets are made from butternut. The unique design of La Casita shows off slate floors that were painstakenly hand cut and strategically placed, Hemlock floors that were harvested locally, a top of the line kitchen, massive fireplace with an 'Old World' baker's oven, and exposed post and beams.
The Master suite has a King size bed with en-suite bathroom with jetted tub and a separate area for the sink and granite topped vanity; The built in hanging and drawer storage as well as the built in ironing center makes this private suite unique and efficient. A private door to the deck and nature will allow secret access to late night star gazing for mom and dad while the children are sound asleep.
The loft has two guest bedrooms and a sitting area. One queen bed and one full size bunk bed, fit uniquely into custom designed wall pockets; A cushioned chair in each bedroom, built in hanging and drawer storage in one and a dresser in the other; The bedrooms share a large bathroom with a tub/shower. Each room has windows for looking out at the forest. The sitting area serves as a place to relax and read, and additional sleeping space with a comfy sofa sleeper for two!
The main floor provides open space living with the great room and kitchen. Beautiful windows allow the natural light in and because this property is so wooded, La Casita will stay nice and cool during the hot summer months.
Full kitchen amenities include, gas stove top, built in oven and broiler, refrigerator with automatic ice maker, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, bread machine, blender, dinner ware, place mats, silverware, cookware, utensils, bakeware, Cuisinart coffee pot, 4 slice toaster, granite countertops, basic spices, massive fireplace with an 'old world' bakers oven for baking pizzas, breads and much more.
The living area provides guests with a luxurious, overstuffed couch and loveseat with comfy large pillows, end tables with beautiful lamps, and a massive fireplace. The french doors open to a 1500 sq ft deck, so there is plenty of room to use the charcoal grill and relax on the deck furniture;
Downstairs is the large laundry room, entertainment area with a reclining couch, cocktail table for working on board games, 50" TV for streaming your favorite channels and a few movies, a large bathroom with shower.
La Casita del Bosque is a one of a kind beauty and is set in a tranquil environment with the intention of peace and quiet; therefore the lake has a “no motor” restriction. You are welcome to fish the small mouth bass with “catch and release” in mind. Bring your fishing pole and worms and cast from shore as the fish like to feed around the natural shoreline. Or take the new kayaks for a paddle! Good swimming with a sandy bottom and nice clear water! Just follow the sloping rustic path down to the lake. You have the best of both worlds when you stay at La Casita...a luxury home in a rustic setting.
We hope you enjoy your stay, you leave refreshed and you choose La Casita del Bosque for your family vacation for years to come!
