About this property

JOLLI-LODGE~Beach Resort in Leland

THE MASTER STUDIO is one of over 20 rental units at the Jolli-Lodge, a family-run resort since 1956. Nestled in the forest near Leland, on the largest private Lake Michigan access in the area, guests enjoy the beach, tranquil property, free kayaks, paddle boards, and bicycles. Jolli-Lodge is the original Leelanau resort with laid-back, up-north style. No extra charge for weekly s’more roasts, beach bonfires or magnificent sunsets!

THE MASTER STUDIO is a studio condo in the main lodge building at the Jolli-Lodge. This spacious second floor unit has a fully equipped kitchen, private bath with a tub/shower combo, and a large, open living/dining area with beautiful Lake Michigan views. There is a queen bed and a full fold-down sofa bed for a maximum occupancy of three. Classic lake cabin features, like original hardwood paneling, dormer windows, and sloped ceilings are complemented with modern conveniences like free Wi-Fi, and a flat screen TV for comfortable, up-north experience. Guests of the Master Studio have easy access to all of the amenities of the main lodge, such as its classic lakeside front porch, grand piano, and coffee station.

ABOUT US:
The Jolli-Lodge Resort has 22 individual rental units of varying sizes, including lodge rooms, condos, and cottages that rent nightly and weekly. Most have beautiful Lake Michigan views (see individual listings), and all are just steps away from the water’s edge. Every cottage and condo has its own fully equipped, private kitchen. Lodge rooms share a common dining area that includes a refrigerator, microwave and toaster, plus dishes and utensils. Free parking is available to all guests. Laundry facilities are available on-site.

Set back in the woods on the shore of Lake Michigan, just off of beautiful M-22, we are located only three miles south of Leland and historic Fishtown. The entire Leelanau Peninsula is easily accessible from the Jolli-Lodge. The closest winery is across the street, with over 20 more - plus breweries and distilleries - just minutes away. Both casual and fine dining are nearby. The world renowned Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore begins just a few miles south of the lodge, the ferry to the Manitou Islands is within 5 minutes, and Traverse City is a beautiful 30 minute drive away. Plenty of boutique shopping is available in Leland, Northport, Glen Arbor and Suttons Bay. Golf, fishing, hiking, biking, swimming, boating, shopping and relaxing are all popular activities with our guests. Quiet hours are from 11 pm - 9 am and are strictly enforced so that all of our guests can enjoy the peaceful tranquility of our lakeside property. No parties, please.

We love Lake Michigan! Because our property is located extremely close to the shoreline, we are very careful about our waste water output. Our occupancy maximums for each unit are carefully calculated with this in mind and are strictly enforced. When making your reservations with us, all members of your group must be counted toward your total number of guests. This includes children and infants of any age/size. Any parties in excess of the occupancy limits as set forth on our website may be subject to cancellation without refund.

The Jolli-Lodge is the original Lake Michigan resort - we’ve been hosting guests to the Leelanau Peninsula for 65 years! All guests of the Jolli-Lodge have access to the beaches, lawns, and recreational areas of the resort - including the ping-pong table, newly redone tennis/basketball area, playground, playhouse, tire swing, shuffleboard court, soccer field, and horseshoes game. Open to all of our guests is the main lodge building, which houses our front desk/office and gift shop/commissary, and where coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are available 24/7. Jolli-Lodge guests frequently gather around the grand piano, original stone fireplace, and large flat screen TV in the main lodge living room. We have a diverse lending library, board games, and puzzles in the lodge as well. The spacious porch is an iconic, “up north” classic that looks out over the beautiful Lake Michigan vista and is open to all of our guests. The Jolli-Lodge paddle boards, kayaks, paddle boats, and fleet of bikes in all shapes and sizes are available for guest use at no charge. We provide free firewood for fireplaces and bonfires. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. We are family friendly, but we also have plenty of space for peace and quiet. Our family has lived on-site since 1956, and we are always on hand to answer questions, give local advice, and share our stories - we have plenty! The main office is staffed daily for your convenience.

Weekend color and wine tour
We loved the setting, the view and the warm family atmosphere. Check in and out was easy. It's close to so many things. This is a beautiful ole time place, not fancy, but inviting. If you want to go back in time for a short while this is for you. We loved it.

A step back in time
The property is beautiful! We stayed in the main lodge in the Master Studio. Our room was very comfortable, and we opened the windows at night to listen to the waves. We really enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch watching the waves! Will definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Greg Jolliffe

Host profile image
I was born and raised right here at the Jolli-Lodge Resort, which my parents and grandparents started in 1956. Having lived most of my life on the shore of Lake Michigan, I love all things water-related: windsurfing, sea kayaking, scuba diving, etc. I am also an avid cyclist, having toured and adventured all over the globe. I have to say, however, that Leelanau is a great place to ride! Our family has been hosting guests to the Leelanau Peninsula longer than anyone else, and we have the stories to prove it! We live on-site and are here 24/7 to give advice and local recommendations.
