About this property

Beachfront Cottage on Little Traverse Lake

Highly rated property with same owners and a new VRBO page! When we passed the torch from our aunt to us, we unfortunately lost all of our excellent reviews. We still have a few summer weeks left for new guests :)

Nestled just feet from the clear waters, the Irwin Cottage on Little Traverse Lake is the perfect get away for families and friends! Located between lovely Leland and scenic Glen Arbor, the Irwin Cottage offers the best of nature and beauty with the convenience of local beach towns. The cottage sleeps 9 guests comfortably in 4 bedrooms and accommodates 2 more people on a pull-out sofa in the den. There are two recently renovated bathrooms and laundry onsite. The cottage sits just feet from the sandy bottom lake, has a sandy beach, and is shallow for a long way out into the lake. This is great for small children. There is a raft, a dock, a rowboat, and 2 kayaks available for guests use. The kitchen is complete with a dishwasher and garbage disposal. All appliances are new and stainless steel and granite counter tops. The living room boasts a gas fireplace, great for cool mornings or a cozy late evening! The dining room table sits up to ten people. There is a gas grill available for guest use. The den has a large smart TV, as do the lakeside bedrooms. Guests can stream using their own accounts. Linens, towels, some paper products and soaps are available to guests to get started for the week. Find us on Insta irwin_cottage or on Facebook.

Great location on private lake
Our family spanning three generations had a wonderul week at the Irwin Cottage! The house was stocked with everything we needed (including s'more supplies!) and is situated on a very quiet, private lake perfect for kayaking, swimming with kids, playing yard games, and nighttime stargazing and campfires. The house had plenty of space to spread out and is within hiking distance to Lake Michigan and a short drive to neighboring towns for dining, shopping, and other northern Michigan attractions. Owners were very welcoming and responsive to needs that arose throughout our stay.

Loved our stay!
We loved our stay at the Irwin Cottage! Beautiful property and very accommodating host. We spent the majority of our time outside. The beach area is so nice and the water is so clear. The water is very shallow by the dock so kids can play freely. The home is very nice with comfortable couches and beds. Everything was very clean. Hope to be back again!

A Lakeside Haven: Perfect Cottage Getaway in Northern Michigan
We recently had the pleasure of staying at the most enchanting lakefront cottage in Northern Michigan, and I cannot sing its praises enough! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning beauty of the surroundings and the warm, welcoming atmosphere of the cottage. It was truly a haven away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cottage itself was a cozy retreat, exuding charm, and comfort in every corner. The interior was tastefully decorated, striking a perfect balance between rustic and modern elements. The living area was inviting, with plush seating and large windows showcasing the picturesque views. The hosts were exceptional, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Their warm hospitality and genuine care for their guests were evident in every interaction. They provided detailed information about local attractions and activities, allowing me to explore the surrounding area and make the most of our time there. Our experience at the Irwin cottage was simply incredible. It offered the perfect blend of natural beauty, comfort, and relaxation. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat amidst the splendor of nature.

Wonderful cottage on a gorgeous lake
Had an amazing stay at this beautiful and well appointed cottage. Little Traverse lake is a little slice of heaven and this was the perfect house to enjoy it and the rest of the area. The clear water, sandy beach and kayaks were a hit! The house had everything one could want and then some. The hosts are lovely, super helpful, and communication was great. We will be back! Thank you!
