About this property

Enjoy the beautiful sandy beach and manicured acre yard at this 100 year old log cottage. The main house features 4 bedrooms with 1.5 bathrooms. The living room has a wood burning stone fireplace which is perfect for gathering and watching the fire, or a movie on the flat screen tv. The screened-in three-season room runs the length of the house and invites you stare off onto the lake during your morning coffee as well as at mealtime. The guest cottage features 2 additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. A huge lot with a stream meandering through the backyard is the perfect site to unwind and let the kids play. The beach is sandy and groomed, perfect for bonfires and sunrises. The seventy-foot, newly constructed dock with a large platform is the perfect spot for some sunny lounging.

Oliver Family 60th B'day Getaway!

This cabin is set on a nice piece of property off of the bay, very close to town of Northport. It feels like an exclusive area since there's a dirt road in front so minimal cars driving through, mostly neighbors. The main cabin is comfortable and offers great views of the bay. Wonderful gathering spot for larger families (we had six, but there could've easily been ten people hanging together). The fireplace is grand and the main room so cozy and charming. Upstairs loft w/ half bath could be considered best room in the house. Last but not least, is the front porch with windows all around and a big table to feast on chili, beef Bourguignon at night and bacon and eggs in the A.M.! (Yes, we are foodies). We took day trips to walk the Sleeping Bear Dunes, ride rented Ebikes from Suttons Bay Bikes (take the ride along the trail to Shady Lane Winery -- highly recommended destination!) and visit most of the small towns, including Leland (FIshtown). We had a very cool and rainy week - boo - but it was still a marvelous vacation. Oh, and Brandon the house manager was very responsive when we called. Thank you, Jon and Lizzy!

About the host

Hosted by Jon Keller

Jon is a Licensed Real Estate Broker and owns J Keller Properties, LLC in Ann Arbor MI. His love for the Leelanau Peninsula was sparked by his wife in the early 2000's. Jon and Lizzie live in Ann Arbor but sneak up to NP as often as they can. When there, they can often be seen at the beach or golf course with their two kiddos, Ben and Lucy.

Why they chose this property

We had been waiting for a house to come up for sale on this particular street for years. With access to the bay and walking distance to town- this is the dream location. The log cottage sits in a fairy tale-like setting with the beach in front, stream in back, and so much room to play in the yard. We are making slow and steady improvements to the cottages (main and guest) that will be sure to make it an annual retreat for family, friends and clients.
