About this property
Luxury Waterfront Log Home 15 min from Traverse City w/ Dock
The perfect location for a family vacation "up north"! Hilltop Log Lodge sleeps up to 10 adults in 5 bedrooms with room for up to 6 children in additional sleeping areas. This custom built lodge is a true work of art and we are so happy to be able to welcome your family to experience our favorite place on earth. Private dock on our 180' of private Grand Traverse Bay frontage May-Oct. Huge grand room with stone fireplace. Game room, patio overlooking the water, outdoor firepit, full kitchen! Our home has received over one hundred 5 star reviews; we very recently began managing the property ourselves after our long-time manager decided to return to school so we look like a new listing, but we are experienced hosts with a long history of delighted guests who return year after year!
We are available by phone (call/text) 24/7 during your stay and have an emergency contact in the area in case an urgent need arises.
Located near scenic M22 15 minutes from Traverse City, 5 minutes from quaint downtown Sutton's Bay and 30 minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes. Surrounded by local wineries, cideries, small business shopping, state parks and forests, lighthouses and art galleries.
Parking available for up to 5 cars at the lodge. 2 car garage. 1 mile from the TART bike trail system.

About the host
Hosted by Lauren Brokish
Hi! I'm Lauren and my husband, Jeffrey, and I are so happy that you are considering our home for your family's vacation. My mother, Betsy, is our property manager so we are a real family business! When you book with us, you'll be treated as you are... a valued guest in our home. No impersonal property management companies or auto-bots. When you communicate with us you are speaking with the actual owners of your vacation rental. We love the Leelanau Pennisula and are thrilled to offer our home so that your family can enjoy our favorite place on Earth. Please let us know what we can do to do make your stay amazing!
Why they chose this property
We purchased Hilltop Log Lodge recently from the original builders/owners. It has been lovingly maintained for over 40 years and is a true work of art. Your family can spread out over the 6 spacious bedrooms, play pool and ping pong in the game room, relax on the world's best couches (we promise) in the great room in front of the fire, enjoy dinners on the covered porch overlooking Traverse Bay or spend the day enjoying our new dock while swimming and boating. There is a trail down to the water that kids love exploring, a huge fireplace in the great room or an outdoor firepit overlooking the water, and plenty of cozy corners perfect for grabbing some quiet alone time for reading or just being still. Within a 10 minutes drive there are world-famous wineries, local cideries, local artisan food vendors and the charming downtown of Sutton's Bay. Traverse City is only 20 minutes away and the historic fishtown in Leland and the Sleeping Bear Dunes are just across the peninsula. We are 5 minutes from the TART bike trail and bikes and kayaks are available for delivery or local pick-up. Come to the lodge and enjoy an amazing family vacation! We are more than happy to provide local tips!
