Iconic Donna’s Place: A Beloved Interlochen Cottage Retreat! Step into the legacy of Donna’s Place, a cherished cottage in Interlochen, just a mile from the renowned Interlochen Center for the Arts! Once a humble 1956 cabin, this famous retreat, home to beloved pianist and mentor Donna Brunsma, has been lovingly expanded and renovated, offering 3 beds, 2 baths, and 1,928 sq ft of woodsy charm. This unique property features two living suites connected by a breezeway, each with its own kitchen and dining space, making it ideal for small gatherings or large groups. Perfect for family, friends, or lucrative short-term rentals with a proven seven-year track record, the cottage blends modern updates with its cozy, rustic allure. Warm up by the inviting fireplace, relax in the comfortable and private interiors, and enjoy the serene ambiance—remarkably tranquil, with plenty of wooded space between it and J Maddy Parkway in the front, and acres of hardwood forest behind. Outside, discover a haven of comfy, private spaces: a newly expanded back deck leads to a stamped concrete pathway winding to a large circular concrete fire pit, perfect for starlit gatherings. In front, a charming slab outside the kitchen invites morning coffee or evening wine, enhancing the cottage’s inviting appeal. A 2-car attached garage adds convenience and storage. Check out the photos: the renovated spaces and outdoor enhancements highlight the transformation while preserving its soulful, woodsy character! Nestled in a vibrant, arts-centric community, this Interlochen gem is a short stroll from the Interlochen Center for the Arts and minutes from local dining and shopping. Just a 15-minute drive to downtown Traverse City, it offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience in Grand Traverse County. Priced at $499,000, this historic opportunity won’t last long.
