Mayfield Cottage | Traverse City @ Rennie Lake . Idyllic Lakefront Retreat . CC49 . Perfect!

4 Bedroom Cottage with Kitchen, TV and Balcony

Welcome to CC49 … This is now a 2nd & 3rd generation family retreat that is located in the Forest Lakes District just South of Traverse City, MI, on Rennie Lake. In 1949, our Grandparents/Parents won a Cadillac convertible in a church raffle, sold it and used the proceeds to develop this idyllic lakefront retreat. Many of the materials used in the original cabin construction (such as logs and river rock) were harvested right there on site. CC49 sits on ~1.7 acres directly on Rennie Lake which has no public access so it feels very quiet and private. And through the years, CC49 has expanded from its original and humble log cabin beginnings, to a very comfortable 3BR/3BA + loft lakefront home complete with WIFI , a smart TV with satellite options, an updated HVAC system and all new appliances for you to enjoy. And please note that subject to your careful use and quiet enjoyment, we include a pontoon boat and 2 kayaks ... all included ... at no added charge, as part of your CC49 experience. CC49 is a GREAT experience and our tremendous reviews speak for themselves ... come join us! :)
CC49’s 3 private bedrooms have 1 king, 1 queen, and 2 bunkbeds (3 twin, 1 full) plus each has their own full bathroom. The bunkbeds and 3rd bath are situated in the "Garage Bunkhouse" though the bathroom here is closed during the winter months. The added "House Loft" overlooks the kitchen and living/dining rooms and has 2 twin beds up top … so seasonally, you could sleep up to 10 in total. There is also a small office for that work you may have brought with you. CC49’s full kitchen is complete with range, refrigerator, dishwasher & microwave … we also have a laundry room with a large/stacked washer & dryer. The living room and dining room have great access to our hand laid stone fireplace complete with a new insert for added heat in the colder seasons. This general family area also enjoys great views to the lake!
Sleeping Summary ...
1) Main House - King + bath
2) Main House - Queen + bath
3) Main House Loft - 2 Twins
4) Bunkhouse - 3 Twins, 1 Full + bath (bath closed in winter)

Rennie Lake is an all sports inland lake with 238 acres that is great for swimming, fishing is tremendous, and conditions are perfect for watersports including kayaking, paddle-boarding, water skiing, tubing, and more. CC49 is very close to The Boardman River for some GREAT canoeing, kayaking and fishing. The Brown Bridge Quiet Area also offers miles of hiking trails. The Vasa Single Track is a great mountain bike trail system that is very close too. In addition, when the snow is flying, The Vasa is home to 25KM of groomed cross country trails. Like to downhill ski (?) … Mount Holiday and Crystal Mountain are just a short drive away. And snowmobiling (?) … Leave right from the property and ultimately access the Boardman Valley Trail System’s 81 miles of trails and all of Michigan's Northern trail system.
CC49 offers a GREAT family atmosphere and plenty to adventure …
