We have been visiting and vacationing in Leelanau County and the region for many, many years. Close friends purchased an unit (E#5) which is VRBO #859336 at Sugar Loaf 9 years ago.
We so loved the location that we purchased our town house in December 2017. Since then we have completed extensive renovations and updates. As with any "home" there is always more to do.
Our kitchen remodel includes new cabinetry, quartz countertop, and all new Frigidaire Gallery appliances: dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave and convection stove with a smooth cook top. We have tried to make our unit welcoming, fresh and give you a feel for the Leelanau "life". The flooring through-out the first level for ease of upkeep is a barn wood style vinyl laminate. Above the gas fireplace is a 50" Samsung flat screen television. Not that you will have much time for tv. The first level also includes a half-bath, a counter height round table with seating for 4, plus we have 4 stools at the counter for additional seating.
We offer WIFI & two Smart televisions.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one with a king bed (master) and one with a queen bed. There also is the option of an Aerobed queen size mattress. It is easy to inflate & deflate. Each bedroom has private bathroom. There also is a Samsung television and cable box in the master bedroom.
We have freshened up the two bedrooms with new comforters, bedding, towels, etc. each also has a hair/blow dryer. There is an iron and ironing board in the master bedroom closet.
Outside the sliding glass doors we have a small patio area with a KitchenAid gas grill, side table, small table with umbrella, 6 chairs and a view of the pool. Grilling accessories are available in the storage closet.
FYI: There is a no charcoal grills and no fire pits policy at Sugar Loaf. This is specified in the Sugar Loaf Association's By-Laws.
We also are fortunate to have the patio flanked by two beautiful shade trees. The pool is open seasonally and guests are provided an access code. There are multiple beaches nearby including Good Harbor Beach when you would like to get some sand between your toes.
Sugar Loaf has a near by golf course, & hiking.
The Leelanau area is a biking paradise and this year there are racks to store your bikes near the units.
Pets: As much as we love pets, we are declining all requests to bring pets. Additionally,
the Sugar Loaf Association's By-Laws, don't allow.
Smoking: This is a no smoking unit and that includes the space outside the unit. This includes e-cigarettes, etc.
Washer - Dryer: As of March 2019, we have a full-size stackable Samsung washer & gas dryer in the downstairs closet. Laundry pods and dryer sheets provided, as feasible.
Parking: There is a large parking lot so if you are traveling with a boat, pontoon, camper or trailer there is available parking.
More Details:
Assorted kitchen spices, herbs, cooking supplies are in the cupboards. The fridge contains basic condiments too. It seemed easier to provide Costco size ketchup, relish, mustard versus every guest bringing their own. Fresh herbs are available (as they survive) in small pots on our patio.
Small Appliance's Available: Keurig (pods are not provided), Cuisinart Insulated Coffee Maker (coffee on your own), Oster Blender, Cuisinart Hand Mixer, Cuisinart Mini Food Chopper, toaster and electric griddle.
Beach and Pool Update: The pool will is available from Memorial Day to Labor Day Weekend.
As of this time we have several beach towels and a beach mat. However, no beach chairs or sand toys available.
Questions, please don't hesitate to connect via email, text or phone. We can provide lots of information, guidance and years of visiting the area experience. We also have several close friends who live year round in the region and are a wealth of information.
Visit and enjoy the Leelanau region from our centrally located town house.
Warmly,
John and Sheila Urban Smith
