Still Waters was built by O.E. Johnson, an executive with General Motors, in 1935. It took his brother, a shop teacher from Lansing, Michigan, six years to complete the custom knotty pine interior. His creative work including shaping custom metal hinges with a theme for each of the six bedrooms, a large fireplace in the center of the library-living room and the barn bedroom with its own wagon as a bed and horse harness decorating the walls.

EXPANSION

Still Waters was completely updated and expanded in 1984 by Carolyn and Bill Wilkie the owners since 1977. In 1998, they further expanded Still Waters B&B including a library, sunroom-entrance and great room.

that serves as scrapbooking center or as a conference room for business planning sessions of up to nine individuals or four couples. However, the original themes including floor to ceiling knotty pine interior were preserved.

LONG LAKE

Long Lake near Harrison, Michigan is a clear spring fed lake that has three bays each separated by an island. Each bay is 55+ feet deep with a mature forested shoreline dotted with cottages. Since it is narrow and runs north and south, Long Lake experiences very little rough water making summer pontoon rides for guests relaxing.

SURROUNDING AREA

Still Waters B&B is in the middle of hundreds of acres of State forests. Within two miles there is the challenging Tamaracks Golf Course and four others within 30 miles. Arnie's Craft Store, the largest in the Midwest, is located in Houghton Lake, just 20 minutes north.
