About this property

Relax, Unwind on Grand Traverse Bay at Blue Calm

  • Prepare to be wrapped in calm the moment you glimpse Lake Michigan’s inviting turquoise waters during your stay at Blue Calm.

    Follow the winding, wooded drive to your private log cabin retreat. Listen closely and you’ll hear gentle waves brushing the shoreline. At dawn, the sky erupts in rainbow hues over the water. Spend your days drifting between carefree beach time, leisurely kayaking or paddleboarding (one of each provided), or even paddling toward Northport’s famous Gull Island. Unwind in the beach hammock with a peaceful nap or retreat to the sunny front deck with a good book. Enjoy backyard picnics featuring farmers market finds and meals off the gas grill. At day’s end, sip a local wine or craft brew beneath the covered lakeside deck on the cozy porch swing for two. Then gather around the campfire to roast marshmallows beneath a star-studded sky before drifting to sleep to the soft chorus of crickets and waves.

    And repeat.

    Eco-Conscious Commitment: To protect this remarkable lakeside haven, Blue Calm emphasizes environmentally responsible practices: non-toxic cleaning products, recycled or cloth alternatives when available, on-site recycling and composting, and overall efforts to minimize environmental impact.
