Welcome to Dune Ranch hosted by Wander North Rentals!

Dune Ranch is a midcentury modern home tucked away on the Northern Michigan coastline. Begin every morning with a cozy blanket and coffee on the deck and end every night with breathtaking sunsets over the lake as you wander miles of pristine dunes and beach. The possibilities for outdoor activities are endless including swimming, hiking, and stargazing. Enjoy an escape from the world where sky meets water and the days are endlessly relaxing.

The space
This property offers 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, laundry, a basement game room, and a large great room for group gatherings. In addition to the home, you will have use of 100 feet of pristine, private Lake Michigan beach, a fire pit, and a large deck for outdoor dining

In the great room, your group can gather around the dining table which seats 10 for meals prepared in the stylish midcentury modern kitchen. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to create a gourmet meal including an island stove top where you can chat with your guests while you cook. With floor-to-ceiling windows, the main living room is equipped with a fireplace and TV with access to streaming services. With a huge wraparound deck that blurs indoor and outdoor space, you can enjoy dining inside or out.

Off the kitchen is a bedroom equipped with a queen bed, bathroom, and laundry. On the other end of the home is the second bedroom with a queen bed and desk for working and the master bedroom. The master bedroom has a private bathroom and sliding glass doors directly onto the deck with a view of the bay. Downstairs you'll find 2 more bedrooms, one with a queen and the other with bunk beds. Please note - these bedrooms are nonconforming as they do not have an egress window. The basement game room includes more seating, a tv, and an air hockey table.

Each bedroom comes fully stocked with bedding, extra pillows, and blankets. Bathrooms in the home are stocked with fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a hairdryer. The laundry room has a washer and dryer available for guests.

Guest access
The entire home and beach is available for guest use. The garage is locked for owners use only.

Other things to note
Dune Ranch is an experience off the beaten path, which means you may experience wildlife. The home is treated for critters on a regular basis but as you may expect living on a dune surrounded by nature, bugs and mice are sometimes spotted. We do not refund for animal sightings, but we don't charge more either!

Cell phone service may be spotty at the home but it is equipped with excellent wifi service. Cell phones may be switched to wifi calling and will continue to be functional in the home.

Dune Ranch is located on a dirt road. This is maintained by the HOA and plowed during the winter months. Be aware the road will be bumpy, but it does not require 4-wheel drive to access the home.

This home is a Michigan cabin. Though we have air conditioning, please be aware that the basement can get cool in the summer when it is running. Extra blankets are provided for comfort, but turning off the air conditioning during cooler days will help regulate the basement temperatures.

Please note - basement bedrooms are nonconforming as they do not have an egress window.

Welcome to Wander North Rentals! My husband Mark and I moved to beautiful Leelanau County in the summer of 2016 and we have been falling in love with it every day since. We are so lucky to live in a place surrounded by beautiful lakes, enchanting forests, and beaches that stretch for miles. The best part though, the community of local businesses offering food, drink, and many products all produced in Leelanau County. We cannot wait to share out little slice of heaven with you!
