Beautiful lakefront cottage on South Lake Leelanau with pontoon!

About Ryan McCarthy

Thank you for considering our property! We are a married couple with 3 young boys and a chocolate lab. Our cottage has been in the family for almost 3 decades and holds a very special place in our hearts. When we are not making memories at the lake, we love to give other families the chance to do so! We can answer any questions you have and hope you consider renting from us. Have a blessed day! -Ryan & Annie

Why Ryan McCarthy chose Leelanau County

Our beloved cottage is a relaxing space to unwind and relax in one of the most beautiful areas in Michigan. Awake refreshed and ready for a day of exploring the sand dunes. Head out and wander to one of the nearby wineries. Bring a bottle back to enjoy while watching the gorgeous sunset over the lake. Take a short drive to a nearby town for shopping or a delicious local meal. Enjoy a nearby beach for some relaxation in the sun or unique rock hunting on the shores of Lake Michigan. Or stay put and enjoy all the lake has to offer right at our cottage—swimming, fishing, boat rides, s’mores over a camp fire….life is truly better at the lake.

What makes this Cottage unique

Our property sits on almost 1 acre about 200 feet from the road down a hill. The cottage is located right on the lake with a sandy beach area and access to a pontoon boat. There are stairs leading down to the lake for swimming access (water shoes recommended). We are dog friendly and love having dogs enjoy the lake too. Since we are on the east side of the lake, we get to enjoy stunning sunsets. Once the sun sets, the night sky fills with stars for stargazing next to the campfire. Our cottage is close to local towns and attractions, but far enough away from the city noise for that serene, relaxing get-away you are looking for. This year, we are offering 4 bedrooms and an extra full bathroom, perfect for multiple couples and families.
