About this property
🌲 The Birches ➠Luxury Condotel in Downtown Lake Leelanau | U3
Downtown Lake Leelanau's restaurants and shops are 236 feet from your door at The Birches — closer than most people's own driveway.
This is Up North living without leaving the village. Start the morning with the Chateau Chantal sparkling wine waiting in your kitchen, walk to Iron House Gym on the house, then spend the day however you like — wine tasting along the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, browsing downtown, out on the water at the marina, or driving out to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the bike trails. Every part of Leelanau County, Michigan is just minutes from your door. The location alone means this stay feels less like a hotel room and more like the Lake Leelanau condo you wish you owned.
Two bedrooms, two and a half baths, and real square footage to spread out in — a king suite, a second bedroom with two queens, and a sleeper sofa in the living area, so eight people can stay together without stacking on top of each other. The kitchen is stocked to actually cook a dinner, not just microwave one. In-unit laundry means you pack light and leave heavy. A private balcony and Smart TVs with your own streaming logins round out the space.
NJ's Grocery is 318 feet away, and downtown Lake Leelanau's restaurants and shops are practically part of the building. The public boat launch and marina are a one-minute walk, right on the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail in Up North Michigan. Suttons Bay Beach is 4.5 miles, Bahle Farms Golf Course 6.6 miles, Sleeping Bear Dunes a 25-minute drive, and Cherry Capital Airport, in Traverse City, 25 minutes out.
Sleeps 8 (adults and kids). Check-in 4 PM, check-out 11 AM, self-check-in by smart lock. Quiet hours 10 PM–8 AM and a strict no-party policy. No smoking indoors. Please note: each unit has two sets of stairs and no elevator access.

Great location! Outside the hustle and bustle of Traverse City but there’s so much to do nearby.

Thank you for staying with us! We’re so glad you enjoyed the great location and nearby activities. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope to welcome you back again!
We needed a little break from our fast paced life and this was the first spot that popped up on my search. It was perfect! The hosts were very accommodating and helpful, although we didn’t need anything, everything we needed was there and they let us know several times they would help with anything we needed!
Very nice place to stay. You need to climb a flight of stairs to get to main floor, and another to get to bedrooms. Not a problem for us but good to know for others. Very comfortable place. Spacious and beautiful. Highly recommend! Great restaurant across street, Fiddle Heads.
Our stay here was perfect for our family and had everything we needed while visiting the area. We loved that it was so conveniently located next to a grocer, several amazing restaurants and a coffee shop. The condo was impeccably clean and tastefully decorated with modern decor. We really enjoyed staying here. Also the condo was built very nicely in regards to sound insulation. We didn’t hear our neighbors at all. Highly recommend.

Liked: Communication, location
Not as expected
Overall the place was nice. However there are a few things any travelers should be aware of before booking. The condos are in a completely dead zone. We had a tough experience at start with this as our initially booked condo wasn’t cleaned. There isn’t a way to communicate unless you go across the street to the restaurant. Once settled the connection worked. This is definitely something that should be shared. Also if you are a light sleeper plan on waking up at 7:00 am to the loudest trucks, garbage trucks, who knows. Again, would’ve been nice to know up front. The assistant manager was nice and gave us another condo because it wasn’t busy. Again, overall the condos are nice but way too many things not shared up front.
