About this property

🌲 The Birches ➠ Luxury Condotel in Downtown Lake Leelanau | U5

Sleeping Bear Dunes, the peninsula's bike routes, and a golf course are all a short drive from The Birches — with downtown Lake Leelanau and the marina just 236 feet the other way.

This is Up North living without leaving the village. Start the morning with the Chateau Chantal sparkling wine waiting in your kitchen, walk to Iron House Gym on the house, then spend the day however you like — wine tasting along the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, browsing downtown, out on the water at the marina, or driving out to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the bike trails. Every part of Leelanau County, Michigan is just minutes from your door. The location alone means this stay feels less like a hotel room and more like the Lake Leelanau condo you wish you owned.

Two bedrooms, two and a half baths, and real square footage to spread out in — a king suite, a second bedroom with two queens, and a sleeper sofa in the living area, so eight people can stay together without stacking on top of each other. The kitchen is stocked to actually cook a dinner, not just microwave one. In-unit laundry means you pack light and leave heavy. A private balcony and Smart TVs with your own streaming logins round out the space.

Bahle Farms Golf Course is 6.6 miles, Sleeping Bear Dunes a 25-minute drive, and the Leelanau Peninsula's cycling and hiking routes start right outside. Downtown Lake Leelanau, Michigan is 236 feet from your door, with the public boat launch and marina a one-minute walk. NJ's Grocery is 318 feet away, Suttons Bay Beach is 4.5 miles, and Cherry Capital Airport, in Traverse City, is 25 minutes out.

Sleeps 8 (adults and kids). Check-in 4 PM, check-out 11 AM, self-check-in by smart lock. Quiet hours 10 PM–8 AM and a strict no-party policy. No smoking indoors. Please note: each unit has two sets of stairs and no elevator access.

Ready to make Leelanau County memories? Book this Lake Leelanau vacation rental direct with True North for these perks, plus a team that's on call if you need anything during your stay.
