About this property

Peaceful cabin in our private woods, close to bike trail, winery, and lakes.

This French country-style cabin is set amongst our private woods in Leelanau County. It is a place to relax and enjoy the quietness of the woods. This will be your home away from home, for sure.

From the moment you enter the driveway from the main road, it will take you back into the woods to your cabin. This cabin is so quaint when you open the door. It has a fully equipped kitchen. It has a screened-in porch to relax, enjoy a meal, drink, chill, and read a book in our swing chair. We also have complimentary local wine from Leelanau for all of our guests. Enjoy that glass of wine by sitting in our relaxing chairs on the patio by the fire table.

The cabin is conveniently located near many activities, restaurants, and beaches. The bike trail is approximately 1/2 mile from the cabin locations, with Traverse City and Suttons Bay nearby. The nearest local winery is a short 2-minute drive north, deeper into Leelanau Peninsula wine country.

Whether you desire comfortable, quiet solitude at the cabin or prefer exploring the unique area of Leelanau Country and surrounding counties, it is up to you.

We hope you will enjoy relaxing at our cabin, exploring, or doing whatever you have planned while in the area. For many years, we have had this dream of sharing the beauty of our property with others. We hope that it will become your favorite spot when visiting our area.

Absolutely loved staying at this charming cottage. The owners have truly thought of every detail to make the space warm, inviting, and comfortable. The setting is peaceful and wooded, perfect for relaxing with a book or enjoying the quiet outdoors. Loves being able to hop on the provided bikes and connect right to the nearby TART Trail.The bed was incredibly comfortable. The location is also ideal, close wineries and attractions, yet still feels tucked away and serene.The hosts were gracious and welcoming and clearly care about creating a memorable experience. This is easily one of the best places to stay in the area.

If you're thinking about staying here you definitely should. The hosts are communicative and friendly with great suggestions for local businesses, the French Country cabin is cozy and cute (there's so many blankets!), everything is beautifully decorated, and you will not regret the time you stay here. The surrounding area is gorgeous too of course, and this rental is wonderful whether you are having a relaxing getaway or you are out looking for adventures. We'll be back!

Perfect Northern Michigan getaway

The french country cabin was just as charming and quaint as described in the listing. Terry & Beth were excellent hosts as the cabin was very clean and stocked with wine and goodies upon arrival, as well as eggs from their personal chicken coop. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Close to downtown Traverse City, but away from all the hustle and bustle at night. Just a quick drive to Glen Arbor and up the road from the amazing Farm Club. We will absolutely be visiting again soon.

Our favorite little cabin in the woods

This cottage, and all the cottages on property are an absolute gem. We've stayed on property many times and always enjoy our time at the French Cottage. Beth & Terry are wonderful hosts and go above and beyond when hosting guests in their cottages. There are so many places to see and visit on the Leelanau peninsula that are close to the property. We look forward to coming back year after year!

Best of both worlds, location and privacy

This cottage is the perfect place to relax in private woods setting, while being close to everything. We enjoyed biking to the TART, which was super close. Everything from communication, to the property to the location was absolutely perfect. We can’t wait to stay again.

Somewhere between a romantic B&B and a sweet cottage in the woods

The Country French Cabin is not only a very special, secluded, romantic cottage completely surrounded by woods, it is also among the very best rentals we have ever experienced! We look forward to returning another time when we can stay longer and enjoy spending more time relaxing at the cottage. High marks to our hosts who created such a perfect retreat and anticipated every need!

Wine Country

Very clean, well stocked, peaceful and decorated very cozy. They thought of everything and the welcome treats of wine and chocolate and salsa was a very nice surprise. Plus fresh farm eggs in the fridge, delicious! There were even cozy his and her bathrobes to use! We will stay here again. One suggestion would be a sound bar to go with the tv since the living room is large. We definitely recommend and the hosts were great.

Another perfect getaway

Beth and Terry are the best hosts. This was our second visit to the property. First time was in the Cozy Cabin and this time was the French Country. Beth recommended we visit in the winter and it was a great idea. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. The snowfall made it so peaceful and relaxing. Cannot wait to come back in the fall.
