About this property
Charming cottage with shared beachfront on Grand Traverse Bay near Northport.
Prime summer requires a 3-night minimum.
Enjoy this cozy cottage with access to amazing 400' shared frontage on West Grand Traverse Bay. Two quaint bedrooms and one bathroom with wood floors and enclosed porch. The enclosed porch is a perfect area to dine or just relax. Outside, enjoy the picnic table and charcoal grill for dining outdoors. Enjoy the spacious grounds and shared beach area. Water access is just across the yard. (You do not have to cross a road.)
A great central location to explore all that Leelanau has to offer. There is lots of fun to be had in Northport during the summer (just 4 miles away), including Northport Wine & Craft Beer Festival, Leelanau UnCaged, Northport Dog Parade, and fireworks on the Fourth of July.
One pet is allowed.
