THE TRUE NORTH Presents… Bayshore House – Private Beach, Sunset Bay Views, House + Camper
If you’re looking for something truly special, you’ve found it. Perfectly positioned on West Grand Traverse Bay along the iconic M-22, this newly renovated beach house sits directly across from Power Island, with rare, unobstructed island views from your own private stretch of shoreline. Located halfway between Traverse City and Suttons Bay, it’s the kind of peaceful, waterfront setting guests dream about — ideal for families, couples, multi-generational gatherings, and wine-country explorers.
The House
Sleeps 7–8 in the beach house
- Primary bedroom with stunning bay views
- Guest bedroom — queen bed + Smart TV
- Additional sleeping — futon + roll-up air mattress
- Plush furnishings, a 72” built-in LED fireplace, and Smart TVs with streaming
- Waterside sunroom, perfect for morning coffee with panoramic bay views
- Spa-inspired bathrooms with touch-screen mirrors and heated anti-fog technology
The Camper
A separate on-site camper adds even more room to spread out — a king bed plus an adjacent room with 3 bunk beds, sleeping 6–7 additional guests. Combined with the house, total sleeping capacity is 13–15 guests.
Life on the Water
Step onto your private beach and into the crystal-clear waters of West Bay. Lounge across three expansive deck levels, entertain on the beach-level patio, or kayak toward Power Island at sunrise — kayaks and paddleboards are included. Keep an eye out for bald eagles overhead while you swim or paddle, and as the sun sets, gather around the beachside fire pit for wine and marshmallows under a canopy of stars.
Bringing Your Own RV or Camper?
If your group wants to bring an additional camper van or RV, designated pads with water and electricity hookups are available on adjacent grounds — seasonal availability and an additional nightly rate apply.
True North Touches
A champagne welcome and VIP concierge perks await — private chefs, photographers, event planners, in-home massage, or grocery delivery and pre-arrival fridge stocking, all arranged on request with charges applying separately.
