Michigan side of Lake Michigan STR

[Clayton Plummer]

I grew up in Battle Creek. We use to go vacation in Holland, Saugatuck , Grand Haven, South Haven, etc. I've been out of state for a long time now. Where are the good STR locations on or adjacent to Lake Michigan? (Are there any bad spots along Lake Michigan?)

Also, is the Traverse City area still the Lower Peninsula ski destination?  Boyne, Crystal Mountain, Nubs Nob, etc.

Thanks in advance, Clayton.

I live and own STR in the Saugatuck area. If you have the right location (in town or by the beach) and provide an above average property, you can do well.

Saugatuck city has just instituted a cap on STR yet it is in the infancy stage.

Good to know.  I'm surprised Saugatuck set a cap.  Isn't that basically how the city makes all of it's money is tourism?

Doesn't matter.

An above average property huh.  That seems like a tall order up-front, but I get what you're saying.

Thank you.

Douglas and Saugatuck Township has no STR caps.

I also live out of state, and am interested in STRs on or near Torch Lake - do you know if there are many restrictions in the area?

Thanks!

In your previous comment you said that Saugatuck city has a STR cap, but it was in its infancy.

The township does not have a cap though?  Weird that the township would go one way and the city another.

 township is much larger than the city. Parcels are larger too.
