About this property

HARRISON’S HIDEAWAY - A Little Piece of Heaven on Earth!!

HARRISON'S HIDEAWAY is your family friendly home away from home. Although the cabin itself is not on the water our private lakefront property is just a 2 minute walk down a mulched path through the woods. Our goal is to make your stay with us a memorable experience you'll want to repeat year after year. No matter what the season you'll love spending time enjoying the beauty of nature that surrounds you while being only minutes away from activities that are sure to please everyone. HH is mid way between downtown Traverse City and Suttons Bay/Leland.

HARRISON'S HIDEAWAY was established to honor the memory of our 5 year old grandson, Harrison James Mack, who passed away in 2011 while waiting for a heart transplant. A percentage of the rental income from HARRISON'S HIDEAWAY will be put into a special fund to support a charitable organization in his memory.

Hideaway for Fall

Harrison Hideaway was the perfect place for our Fall Break. The owner, Mary, was an incredibly gracious and welcoming hostess. She greeted us at the property with warm homemade bread and gave us a tour. The Hideaway had everything we wanted - enough space for the 5 of us, a well stocked fire pit, kitchen and all the appliances, and cozy living room to wind down from a day around the area. The Hideaway is just steps from the Lake with kayaks which was perfect for my wife to escape with no one else on the water. It's location is near a hike/bike trail spur, surrounded by farms, a short drive from Traverse City. Basically anywhere around the Sleeping Bear area was within a short drive. Even after leaving, my daughter forgot her earrings and the owner was so considerate to mail them back to us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Hideaway to anyone wanting an autumn recharge!

Lovely cabin, great location with proximity to lots of great small towns around Traverse City

We had a fantastic time with our 4 year old and 2 year old at Harrison's Hideaway. Host Mary Lee welcomed us with fresh bread that she baked and that set the tone for a cozy end-of-summer week in gorgeous Lake Leelanau. As indicated the lake is a short walk away through some woods which is actually ideal for families with small kids like ours. We loved sitting on the dock and using the available kayaks, and the kids loved playing in the shallow sandy parts of the water. We've been going to Leelanau County for years, and the location of Harrison's Hideaway is fantastic - 10 minutes to Suttons Bay and Traverse City, and about 20 minutes to Leland. You have multiple grocery store, restaurant, and local produce options that are very short scenic drives away. Mary Lee had excellent local recommendations as well. Don't let the lack of washer/dryer scare you. It took us about an hour to both wash and dry our clothes in the large commercial machines at the laundromat in Suttons Bay. You can use that time like we did at the playground on the beach or just walk around town. Thanks Mary Lee for a great week and we hope to stay again at Harrison's Hideaway!

Perfect

We had such an amazing time here! Great central location where we could explore a different town or activity each day within just a short drive. But also loved the access to Lake Leelanau with the Kayaks - perfect for all of us, including the kids to learn how to kayak solo. Also easy to hop onto the Leelanau Trail just up the road for bike riding, which was beautiful at sunset. The house was great, bigger than expected, very clean and very comfortable. Will definitely be back, the host was very kind and accommodating.

Private Spot

Our family had a wonderful time. It is a very quiet and private space. The very short walk to the dock (about 1-2 minutes) was no trouble at all. Mary Lee is an excellent host.

Great Family Week in July

We had the best time at this property - it was very relaxing to hang out in the large yard or home and to walk down to the nearby dock and enjoy the chairs and kayaks there. Our family of four can't wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Lee Treter

My husband and I have been vacationing in Traverse City for many years. Doug came up with his family as a child every year growing up and then after we married we brought our children and now they bring their children as well. We have enjoyed many countless hours of Pure Michigan pleasure with our immediate and extended families and now we want to share the beauty of this amazing area with our guests. No matter what the season there is always something for everyone in Traverse City, Michigan.

Why they chose this property

We chose this home on this property because it connects to the family property we vacationed at with our children for so many years. We were blessed to have been given the opportunity to purchase this beautiful piece of heaven on earth 7 years ago and love the peace and quiet it provides.

What makes this property unique

Since purchasing our property we have completely renovated the 'barn' now known as HARRISON'S HIDEAWAY. It has a warm and cozy feeling when you enter and you'll immediately feel calm and relaxed when you look outside at the beauty of nature that surrounds you. Yet you're only minutes away from doing any of your favorite activities like shopping, golfing, snowmobiling, skiing, tubing, biking, fishing, gambling, swimming, boating, sightseeing and so much more! Perfect for a Family Vacation, Girls Getaway, 55+, Honeymoon or Romantic Getaway.
