About the host

Hosted by Ben Glasener

Host profile image
The West Winds resort holds a very special place in our hearts. Ben’s grandparents started vacationing on Lake Leelanau more than 60 years ago, passing down the tradition from generation to generation. This cottage has become the landscape for many family gatherings, baby showers, and birthday parties, and we love all that the Leelanau peninsula and Traverse City area has to offer! We want to make your Lake Leelanau vacation the best it can be, and hope you will make amazing memories during your stay!

When we aren’t enjoying Lake Leelanau, you’ll find us in Ann Arbor with our two amazing kids.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is conveniently located near Traverse City and serves as the perfect home base for exploring the Grand Traverse region. Famous for the scenic M-22 highway, dozens of wineries, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, there is so much to do in this region.

What makes this property unique

The West Winds resort is quiet and secluded, offering a private sandy beach, boat slip, and lots of outdoor space to hang out and enjoy beautiful Lake Leelanau.
