Your Cozy Up North Escape in Interlochen, MI

Just down the road from the renowned Interlochen Center for the Arts, Nestled Ducks offers more than a place to stay—it offers an experience. This welcoming retreat blends the quiet charm of Northern Michigan with the excitement of being close to one of the nation’s premier artistic communities.

Step inside and you’ll find a warm, inviting home designed to host up to 8 guests. With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the house is perfect for families gathering to see their student perform, friends coming together for a concert weekend, or groups seeking the calm of an “Up North” getaway. Two spacious king bedrooms create restful havens for parents or couples, while a cheerful twin room and a queen sofa sleeper ensure plenty of space for everyone.

The living areas invite you to slow down—curl up with a good book, share stories around the table, or sip coffee as morning light streams in. There’s a sense of ease here, like you’ve arrived at your own private retreat in the woods. After an evening of music or theatre at Interlochen, return to the cozy glow of Nestled Ducks to continue the conversation, inspired by what you’ve seen.

Outside, the setting is pure Northern Michigan—peaceful and green, with lakes, trails, and charming small towns only minutes away. Spend your days paddling on nearby Duck Lake or Green Lake, exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes, or wandering through Traverse City’s shops and vineyards. Then return “home” to relax, recharge, and reconnect.
