About this property
The Boathouse on Waukazoo! Beach, Bars, Brewery all within a block!
Charming historic downtown Northport home built in 1908. View of the bay from the front porch. Less than a block to the public beach, park, marina, bars, restaurants and brewery! Four bedrooms include two downstairs and two up. Jack and Jill full bathroom upstairs. Large fully equipped kitchen. Washer and dryer. Smart TV with wireless internet. Huge lot with lots of parking. Front porch and side patio for enjoying the summer nights.
Northport is at the tip of the Little Finger and is close to all that Leelanau County has to offer including; winery and cidery tours, breweries, Fish Town in Leland, shopping in Suttons Bay, boating and fishing in the bays and the inland lakes. Hiking trails lead to hidden beaches. Ten minutes to the north is the Leelanau State Park and the historic Grand Traverse Lighthouse.

About the host
Hosted by Mary Ellen Philbin
Pat and I (Mary Ellen) live and work in Orlando, Florida. We both grew up in Michigan and have visited family often over the years. I grew up in Suttons Bay which is just south of Northport. I, and my Florida born kids, have visited Leelanau County every year since they were born (nearly 30 years). We now have kids and grand kids in Traverse City! The whole family loves Leelanau County and feel like we belong there! So, we bought our own little piece of paradise! Since we are still working, we are willing to share our happy place with you! We hope you enjoy it and if we can do anything to make your stay more comfortable, we will do our very best!
Why they chose this property
The Boathouse was built in 1908. It has all of the good and some of the challenging that comes with a house this old. This house is not easily accessible to people with mobility issues. The front entrance has two sets of stairs. The back entrance is not paved and is slightly uphill. Inside it has very high ceilings and nice roomy spaces. We love the character of the house. In the winter there is a beautiful view of the bay from the front and side porches. In summer the view is there but a bit more elusive due to the lush trees and bushes. On the top of the list of pros about the Boathouse is it's location! Less than a city block to the public beach, the public park and the marina. The road to the beach is not busy so you can let the kids come and go safely.
Downtown is literally two houses away! Groceries, bakery, restaurants, bowling alley and brewery all within steps. Can't beat this when traveling with a young family or a fun adult get away...
