About this property

Cozy waterfront sunset cottage on Lake Leelanau. Air, Near Leland.

This sweet retreat is a true vacation destination on North Lake Leelanau. "Marcia Lee Lake House" is cabin style bungalow. (The house is attached to another residence, but has a private entrance and no shared spaces). Walk into this charmer and enter the well-apportioned kitchen. It is fully equipped with granite countertops, a dishwasher, and all the kitchen amenities that make cooking easy. The Bar area overlooks the kitchen with an additional dining table for family meals. Off the open-concept kitchen/dining area is the living room, which overlooks the lake. A flat panel TV with cable and internet is provided.

There are two bedrooms on the main floor. The lakeside bedroom has a queen bed and the second bedroom has a queen bed. There is one bath on the main floor. The upper level is a loft (third bedroom) featuring a double bed, a TV, and a bathroom. The loft also includes a sweet book nook for some quiet time. This property has a washer and dryer. Sheets and towels are included. No pets are allowed.

Outdoors is a huge wide open space perfect for the kids. It is a short walk to 200 feet of sparkling hard sandy bottom lakefront. Spectacular sunsets can be soaked up from the beach. A dock is provided so bring your fishing boat and enjoy this great lake. Swimming is the best here too, with a sandy shallow shore line. A sand bar makes for lots of water fun. A patio, grill, and fire pit are right outside the door. Three kayaks are provided. A volleyball net and a horseshoe pit complete the fun amenities here.

This home is located between the Village of Lake Leelanau and Leland. Good Harbor Beach is less than 10 minutes away. There are so many wineries in this area it will take all week to get through them. Enjoy tons of gift stores and quaint shops in the surrounding towns. Don't worry about eating out, there are plenty of choices available. Visit the summer roadside fresh food stands that offer great local fruits and vegetables. The possibilities are endless here.

This is as the perfect central location to explore this area of Michigan. The house sits on a gorgeous, quiet lake with kayaks and yard games. We loved the yard so much we spent all of our nights there around the fire pit. Thank you for letting us experience such a beautiful part of the country! We’d absolutely stay here again!

A wonderful stay

We loved this cottage. It has great amenities, especially the outdoor area, from the patio furniture and shower to the fire pit and Adirondack chairs nearer to the lake. The swimming is fantastic, the beds are comfy, and the week was wonderful. Highly recommend, and will return. Thank you!

Great Lake area

We booked this last minute and we were so glad we did. Easy day trips to Suttons Bay, Leland and Sleeping Bear Dunes. The lake by the house was world’s largest kiddie pool…clear water, great for kids, great for swimming and we loved the kayaks and beautiful sunsets. House was well stocked (minus a hairdryer) and we had a wonderful trip! There were 5 of us and it was a perfect size!

We love Lake Leelanau!

We’ve stayed on this lake five or six times, and we always love it! The house was lovely, and very clean. We loved the close access to the lake—you get both sunset & sunrise, if you want. Our only concerns were directions about TV use, and figuring out the thermostat, which we conveyed to the management company. I would recommend this house, and DEFINITELY stay there again! It was close to everything we wanted!

Convenient, very clean

Everything we needed. Beautiful outdoor area by the lake. Kayaked and enjoyed the neighborhood loons. Comfortable beds and very clean. It was difficult to locate, but we enjoyed the stay. The only thing we would have liked was a bit more private area for sitting. Loft is open to the living area so difficult if not everyone has the same sleep schedule.

Great location

Great place to stay, awesome lication with great views. We had a small sailboat and rented a pontoon for the week and were able to dock the pontoon and tie the sailboat up to the mooring bouy. Only minor little thing would be the beds. One is a queen the others are fulls so not much room for two. We had 5 kids and three adults and used the sofa's with an air mattress we brought. Overall a great place and perfect location

Quiet & beautiful views

Our family of four had a lovely time at this cute,very clean property .It was close to so much & the sunsets were amazing! The house had everything we needed & my kids enjoyed having their own rooms. Some instructions on how to work the tv would be nice. It took my tech savvy husband a little while to figure it out! We really enjoyed our trip to Michigan and our stay in this cute house.
