-- THE PROPERTY --

Dock/Boat Slip available June 1 to August 31, 2024 | Bed & Bath on Ground Level

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Full Bed | Bedroom 3: 2 Twin Beds

Sleek oak furnishings enhance the cottage's 1,400-square-foot, 2-story interior. In the open-concept living/dining area, floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors span the entire length of the room, letting natural light pour in and offering a great view of Lake Leelanau, which has shallow water ideal for children.

Bring along your family's favorite recipes and utilize the fully equipped kitchen to prepare delicious homemade feasts! The adjacent 6-person dining table can perfectly accommodate your whole group and faces the large windows, or allowing you to dine on the deck and admire lovely lake views while you eat!

Wind down by relaxing around the fire pit or watching a movie with the group, before retreating to the 3 bedrooms for a restful night of sleep. Wake up in the morning to the smell of coffee brewing and bacon crackling, and kick-start your morning with a hearty home-style breakfast during sunrise before hitting the road for the day's activities!

-- THE LOCATION --

This lake escape is an excellent base for exploring not only Lake Leelanau, but tons of surrounding attractions! You'll find great dining, shopping, fishing, and boating just minutes from the property. The area has quite a few wineries, including Bel Lago Vineyards & Winery (right up the road!), 45 North Vineyard & Winery, Tandem Ciders, and Shady Lane Cellars.

Drive 20 miles west to explore Sleeping Dunes National Lakeshore, the largest natural sand dune on the Great Lakes. Scenic drives, spectacular views, wildlife spottings, and great nature trails await at one of the most popular northern attractions in the U.S. Hiking the Dune Climb is a must!

Once you get to the top of the Dune Climb, you can make the trek down to Lake Michigan! Depending on the season, Lake Michigan offers countless fun water activities for the whole family!

For another day trip, check out Leland's Fishtown - about a 20-minute drive north, you can walk along the docks and experience the ins and outs of this historic commercial fishing spot, which is one of the only working fishing villages left in Michigan!

Wonderful stay - great owners!

We truly enjoyed this amazing space. It was our first time renting a cottage and it hit all the marks. Beautiful location and so quiet. It’s more than we had hoped. On top of that- the owners were fantastic- very communicative and friendly. We truly enjoyed meeting them. We would rent this place again and again.

Fun at the lake

This was our third time staying at this house and once again it did not disappoint. We all enjoyed hanging out on the deck with its beautiful view of the lake. The owners do a great job of maintaining the beach area and our kids enjoyed playing in the sand. The house is well-equipped with kitchen utensils and cookware. The grill looks brand new and I enjoyed being able to grill out while watching the kids play in the water. Overall, it was an excellent trip!
