Granot Loma - An American Estate
Granot Loma is a 26,000 sq. ft. log palace, an extravaganza of wood and stone. Property includes 4,970 acres, 7.76 square miles, with 3.64 miles of frontage on Lake Superior, 1.1 miles of which is fine sand beach. A island, part of the property, lies just off shore in front of the Lodge. The Little Garlic and Big Garlic rivers, the former a nationally known steelhead trout stream, flow through the property with several waterfalls. The owner says it best: "When you're in the buildings you forget the land, and when you're on the land you forget the buildings."

Thistledowne at Seul Choix Thistledowne was built to be a family home on Lake Michigan and a fabulous B&B. It was both.

Guest rooms and private quarters remain as beautiful as ever.
