Lovely Cottage

We had a great time with extended family at the cottage. Details like the sound system, TV streaming, very well equipped kitchen (spices, sharp knifes) made this place great. Loved the paddle board, kayaks, floating pad. The room over the garage worked well for our extended family. Be aware that the bunk house is very close to the (busy) road, this might bother some people if sleeping with with open windows.

Lakeside getaway

We have been vacationing in Traverse City for over 20 years. This is a great property. The house had everything we needed for the week and the host was informative and easy to work with.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Wheeler

I grew up in Leelanau County just 5 miles from the property. It's been my dream to own waterfront property and it doesn't get any better than Lake Leelanau! We are Up North in MI very frequently, especially in the summer. And, my parents live just a few miles from the Lake House. My Mom, a retired teacher, and my Dad, a semi-retired contractor, are the perfect pair to help watch over the property when we are not there.

Why they chose this property

Location, location! Just 10 miles to downtown Traverse City, Lake Leelanau also boasts proximity to some of the most charming areas in Leelanau County such us Leland/Fishtown, Sutton's Bay, Northport and Glen Arbor. From the wineries to restaurants to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, there is never a shortage of things to do and areas to explore.
Lakeside Leelanau provides privacy and a sandy lake bottom! This is rare to find on most busy lakes in the TC area.
