About This Home

Lifestyle is the word. Cozy 2BR cottage awaits on all-sports Morrison Lake in Saranac, Michigan. Deeded frontage invites your dock for boating, skiing, and sunset floats across 325 acres of shimmering water. Literally steps away sits the clubhouse of the 18-hole Morrison Lake Golf Club, with pine-lined fairways and lake views right at your doorstep. A new roof crowns this longtime cherished home, passed gently through years of quiet joy. Small and intimate, it holds space for mornings with coffee on the deck, laughter echoing off the water, and evenings under wide skies. Saranac whispers small-town ease, with I-96 minutes away: Grand Rapids under 30 min, Lansing close behind. A simple retreat where lake and golf meet, ready for your next chapter of calm days and open horizons.
