About this property

Beautiful Cabin on the Lake with Hot Tub & Sandy Beach!

This Charming Cabin (located 12 miles north of Traverse City and 30 miles east of Sleeping Bear Sand dunes) offers plenty of room for two families to vacation together or is cozy for one family to enjoy as well. Swimming/boating in the all sports lake, building campfires and singing songs, grilling and enjoying a great meal on the large deck are just a small fraction of things to enjoy on your vacation. Let the children explore the 3 1/2 acre property while you relax in the hot tub. Cooking is a dream in the large kitchen.

Curl up with a good book by the gas/stone fireplace or play one of the many card or board games offered in the cabin. Have your first cup of coffee in the gazebo and watch the sun rise. Bring your bikes and ride the Leelanau Trail to Suttons Bay or Traverse city. You will build lasting memories with your friends and family at our cabin on the lake.

Always a great week!.

This is our 4th stay on this property and is the highlight of our summer. The cabin is comfortable, quaint and we love that's it's TV free. The beach area and marina make it the perfect summer get away. The kids always enjoy the hot tub as well. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms would make it an 11/10!

Perfect Getaway

My three girlfriends and I loved our stay here! The view could not be beat, and the fact that we had our own rooms made it even better. The cabin was perfectly situated on the lake, and two of us were delighted to spot a bald eagle flying by one morning near the shore. We look forward to returning next time!

Another spectacular year

This is our 4th year staying in this oasis and we will keep coming back in until our children are grown. The cabin is large and comfortable. We appreciate the AC that was installed a few years ago! We love the lake, the sunsets, the hot tub and it's very close to so many up north activities. I couldn't recommend it more. The lack of TV is amazing, as it allows us to spend a whole week tech free! The only slight downsides are the water is strong smelling and water pressure in the shower is weak but these are minimal compared to the rest. Thanks again for another amazing group of core memories formed.

Really nice place to stay. We have stayed here over the 4th of July for the last 10 years. The only complaint is the queen bed mattress in the second main bedroom which doesn’t give good support.

This was the perfect place for our family and our friends family. It was clean and had comfortable beds. The kids had fun at the beach and making s’mores. The location is perfect. The deck is even better in person. Very large with lots of seating so we could all be outside at the same time. Definitely recommend if you have a large group!

Perfect Girls' Getaway

We have a group of 6 women that get together annually. This year we selected Traverse City area and so glad I booked this VRBO. This house was the perfect location. We used a local wine/beer tour company that picked us up from the house and took us on a 4 hour wine tasting excursion. There were plenty of beds/rooms for everyone to get their own bed. It was last house on the 'street' so felt private. The views of the lake were gorgeous and the spacious deck with hot tub was great for hanging out and enjoying the beautiful weather and views. There were plenty of towels provided and supplies in the kitchen as well.

Lake Leelanau Retreat

We LOVED our cabin on Lake Leelanau! It was spacious and had everything we needed for a fun stay. Loved having a hot tub! The owners were prompt in responding to and resolving any questions/issues we had. I would definitely book this place again.

Another lovely week

This is our third stay and it was paradise as always! The cottage is just the right size...big enough for a family of 5 (with one unused bedroom) but quaint. We love not having a TV and getting "screen free" time. The place is clean and has all the amenities one could need. We could not find the marshmallow roastsers this time, so we used old fashioned sticks. The only small issue was sharing the fire pits with the other families. There was one very large group that wanted to use both some nights. Other then that, it was wonderful and we've already booked for next summer!

About the host

Hosted by Denise Krueger

Host profile image
Our family operated the resort that this cabin is a part of since 1976. The other cabins were sold to seperate owners in 2001. Dad operates this cabin with the help of his adult children and their families.

Why they chose this property

We did not need to take a vacation because we were living at the best vacation spot in the world. Our family memories of growing up on the lake, playing in the water, singing songs around the campfire and watersking are special times we hope to pass on to other families.

What makes this property unique

One of our many favorite things to do at our cabin is sit in the hot tub after a dip in the lake and watch the sun set. Going on little adventures to the sand dunes, Lake Michigan or canoeing down local rivers are treasured memories to our families.
