About this property

Stunning log home near Leland with spectacular views. Hot tub. A/C.

Viewtopia is your dream vacation getaway, situated high on a wooded bluff with sweeping, uninterrupted sunset water views of Lake Michigan, the Manitou and Fox Islands, Whaleback and Pyramid Points. Reminiscent of a National Park lodge, relax in the hot tub of this majestic log home after a day spent enjoying activites and outdoor natural beauty. Nearby Good Harbor Beach in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park offers swimming and combing the sandy beach for rocks and shells. Your water activity dreams will come true with nearby rentals of paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, boats, other water equipment, and bicycles. Charter fish in Lake Michigan for salmon, lake trout, and white fish or take the ferry out to visit one of the islands in the National Park. Plentiful hiking and biking trails are available throughout the area. Leland, Glen Arbor, Suttons Bay, and Traverse City are within an easy drive and offer upscale resort shopping, art, music and film festivals, dining, casinos, golf and mini-golf. Wineries and breweries abound with available tours as well as plays and concerts in Traverse City and Interlochen Music School. Local restaurants feature live music if you prefer your concerts while dining.

With large view windows and skylights, you will be warmly welcomed with bright interiors in this four-bedroom home upon entry. Happy cooks will love preparing grand meals and picnic lunches in the sophisticated and fully equipped kitchen with plentiful prep space, stainless steel and gas appliances, and a full dining room. Grill provides the perfect outdoor opportunity for meals on the multiple decks, equipped with 2 picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, and 4 reclining spa loungers. Relax with a good book near the large stone wood-burning fireplace, curl up on the comfortable furniture while hosting movie marathons or sports games on the large screen TV. Enjoy friendly competition on the foosball table, with books, puzzles, and board games available for pleasure. Two bedrooms feature private balconies. Referred to by guests as a “Photographer’s Paradise,” memories that will last a lifetime are yours to make at Viewtopia on the shores of Lake Michigan.

The grounds were mot kept up. The view of lake MI from the msin floor is very limited by trees. Much better view from second floor decks. The home is beautiful on inside but dated. Dryer was not working well.

Interior was clean, comfortable and as described on VRBO. We were greatly disappointed in the overall exterior condition of property. Upon arrival, there were opened packs of shingles on stone wall, knee high weeds in most areas of livable exterior space and warped, lose deck boards that created hazards. In photos on site, the hot tub is shown on an outside deck area, when in reality it is located approximately 20 feet away from home in heavily wooded/weedy area without adequate or no exterior lighting. Our group was unable to enjoy hot tub due to unstable step and lack of lighting. Management was prompt in bringing us missing clothes hangers which we appreciated.If the exterior was given some "gentle" weed and exterior maintenance, we would have given this a 4/5 star review. The location of property is perfect - management response was amazing.

My family of six adults had plenty of room inside and outside to play board games, read, eat, relax, and sleep. The house had comfortable seating inside and outside. The house is located within a short drive to Sleeping Bear dunes, a beach, Glen Arbor, and Suttons Bay. We would stay here again.

Summer Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The consensus of our extended family was that the house fit our needs and we enjoyed the log home uniqueness of it. The gathering rooms were large and the grandsons loved the foosball table and hot tub. The view is great in spots, but is in danger of growing trees,etc, infringing on the views.The charcoal grills had not been cleaned and were located in a weedy spot, so we did not do outdoor grilling.

Simply Lovely

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Took a quick visit to MI with three families. Home was lovely, view incredible, and the location is great. We really just wished we had a few more days to explore more of the beautiful Lake Michigan coast and towns. If I were to make any suggestion it would be to trim back some of plant/sprouting tree growth around the property to maximize the views even more. I made one call to the rental company and couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism. We would love to return to Viewtopia!

Couples Wine Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Viewtopia is an incredible property was stunning views of Lake Michigan from almost every room in the house! We recently rented this house for a couples (4) getaway wine weekend. We appreciated the close proximity to downtown Leland and many wineries in the Leelanau peninsula. Unfortunately there were some key essentials missing from the property such as salt/pepper, dish soap and a wine opener. Other than the missing items we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend Viewtopia to anyone looking for a place to fit a large group with stunning views of the lake. Thank you UpNorth Vacation Rentals!

Unique and spacious log home with wonderful view of the lake

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful experience at Viewtopia in August. Although we only had 3 adults, the home is large enough to accommodate many more, with three twin beds, two queens and a king on the second floor.One of our party is an avid runner and enjoyed long runs along the nearby vineyard roads. We were not far from Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and spend a wonderful day hiking along the lake and on the dunes.

Spacious and Comfortable

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a beautiful home with great views over the lake. The inside of the home was very clean and comfortable. I was in a group of 4 couples that stayed there for a long weekend and went to several wineries. The outside of the house is due for some landscape work and step maintenance. I spent the first 30 minutes sweeping down spider webs on the outside of the house. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing time. We loved the views and the secluded setting of the house. Everything in the house was clean and nicely set up for us. A few wasps did come into the one upstairs bedroom, so checking for those would be a good idea. Other than that we loved our stay and cannot wait to go back.

fun family trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 11 of us (4 adults, 6 kids 5-12 and one baby) stayed at Viewtopia for a week and had a great time exploring the region. The house worked great for our needs, and hosts were responsive to any questions or minor issues that came up. We would definitely stay again! It isn't lake front, but there are nice views, especially from the upstairs bedroom- and the lot is very private- it truly feels like a cottage. It is a short drive to a pretty sandy beach and a couple of hikes. Sleeping bear and Traverse city are each about 20-25 minutes away.
