oak house: our story
When Lindsay stepped into The Oak House in the fall of 2024, she was captivated by its original wood moldings, built-in cabinetry and charming cafe windows. With a vision for restoring it to its original glory while adding a primary suite, vaulting ceilings and opening up the floor plan, The Oak House now flourishes with life and true luxury.
Designed for premium guest stays in the heart of summer, this Northern Michigan retreat has attention to detail that will take your breath away. The minute you step inside this 1904 home, you'll experience its history while enjoying every thoughtfully chosen modern amenity.
As a Traverse City native with a background in historic home renovations, Lindsay has an eye for properties that move the heart and feel like home. Her portfolio reflects her work creating design boutique experiences for guests in Northern Michigan.
Whether it's the expansive farm-style porch, the cozy living spaces, the spa-like suites or the backyard pergola adorned with jasmine, this traditional home with European finishes and laid-back style just hits different.
Lindsay is enamored with The Oak House and cannot wait to share it with guests. See for yourself and create memories that last.
