In the heart of Leelanau county, this home is 5 minutes from downtown Lake Leelanau, 10 minutes from Suttons Bay, and less than 30 minutes to downtown Traverse City. Enjoy relaxing sunsets fireside after a day of wine tasting, kayaking, and exploring all that the Leelanau Peninsula has to offer. ---- About the Home---- This cozy lakehouse can be found on a quiet road in the heart of Leelanau County. Enjoy outdoor dining on the deck overlooking the water, or use the picnic table to spread out by the water. There is a fire pit right by the water and plenty of outdoor seating, kayaks, paddle boat, and row boat included. A dock (shared occasionally) and mooring are also provided on the right side of the property. The public boat launch is just 5 minutes north if you want to bring (or rent) a boat while you’re here!

Watersports are popular or you can just take a cruise up to the lakeside towns of Leland or Lake Leelanau for lunch. The lake is perfect for swimming, boating, or simply enjoying the view! ---- About the Area---- This home is perfectly situated! Here, you’ll also be amidst Traverse City wine-country!

Very relaxing
The home was very well equipped, everything we needed. The property was wonderful. Te view of south Lake Leelanau was amazing. We saw a lot of wildlife including turtles, loons, eagles flying over and heard coyote at night. The night sky was very clear to look at stars and satellites. Really enjoyed the fire pit at night. Will definitely recommend this property to family and friends. BTW, our sister, brother-in-law and family stayed next door many years ago. Brought back fond memories.

Unbeatable sandy beach
We loved our stay for the exceptional lakefront - shallow, calm, sandy-bottom lakefront with a small beach perfect for kids. Having kayaks and a pedal boat included was a highlight! The location is central to so many of our favorite things in Leelanau - Leland, Sutton’s Bay, Sleeping Bear Dunes and more. The house was just the right size for our family of four, and the welcome snack and coffee were a lovely touch!

Sweet Spot!
We loved this little house on Lake Leelanau - just perfect for our family of 6 - grandparents, parents, and 2 little grandchildren. The water is shallow for a couple hundred feet. It was like a backyard water park. We rented a boat for the week which was ideal for enjoying the water. There were also kayaks, a rowboat, and paddle boat for our use. The fire pit was nice in the evenings to enjoy the beautiful sunsets and smores! The property managers and owner are lovely.

Location, location, location!
This property has an incredible backyard and lakefront area. The variety of watercraft provided created lots of options for fun on the lake, too. The house itself is clean, well appointed, and comfortable. It is close to “downtown” Leelanau (gotta try Nittolo’s pizza!), Sutton’s Bay (for shopping), and several Lake Michigan beaches, so everything our group wanted to do was easily accessible. It’s off the main roads so it was quiet at night, too. We had a wonderful week!

A special place.
From start to finish the whole process was easy. Great communication from our hosts. A wonderful spot on the lake, peaceful but not secluded. The house was clean throughout, with all the bits and bobs you need. A real home away from home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Tip: try the curry from the local shop…… amazing curry. Best we have had since living in America.

Great property and excellent location
My group was visiting the Traverse City area this October for fall colors and wine tasting and reserved this home for the weekend. Location is excellent, you are in proximity of several wineries on the Leelanau side and TC is a short drive a way. The house is also right on the lakefront of lake Leelanau with a large yard and fire pit so, plenty to do back at the house as well - great place for kids in the summer. Hosts are great and super responsive.

Charming Cottage
This sweet little place is a gem. The backyard is phenomenal, stocked with kayaks, peddle boat, and rowboat. The cottage is super clean and decorated with charm. We had a great time playing with the numerous board games and cards. The hosts were gracious and promptly accomodating. We will be back :)
