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!

The lake covers over 8,000 acres and is easily accessible by boat as it offers two boat launches. 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!

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.
