Location: Leland, Lake Leelanau, Northwest, Michigan, USA (Northport)

Accommodations:  House, 5 Bedrooms + Loft, 4.5 Baths (Sleeps 18)

Recognized in the national magazine Log Home Design Ideas in September 2003, and awarded Best Vacation Home in Michigan by HGTV in 2004, this spectacular Log Home features three levels (almost 5000 sq.ft.) of wonderful living space in the beautiful Northern Michigan woods that is surrounded by Cherry Orchards and rolling hills. The log home was finished in 2002.

Walk out to a no-bluff private Lake Michigan sandy beach, with awesome views of the Manitou Islands and lovely sunsets, or just sit on one of three decks to enjoy the lake view and surroundings. Additionally, the front of the house has an "out west style" lodge front porch with cedar rocking chairs that will allow you to sit and enjoy the morning sun. Just six miles north of Leland and close to Suttons Bay and Northport for fabulous shopping and nice ports. Great fall colors and incredible snow falls make this a great place to visit year round.

The large beach has a firepit that can accomodate many people. Sit and view the magnificant night sky while waiting for the Northern Lights to dance across the waters. Or you can stay inside, get a fire started in the stone fireplace, and enjoy a movie on the 72 and 54 inch TV screen's. Both levels have a full kitchen, so the kids can have their own space. Get some excercise on a kayak or try biking on some great bike routes, on and off the road.

Bedroom Configuration: Upper Level has a Master Suite with a Queen size Bed, and a loft with a Futon. Main Level has a guest bedroom with a Queen Bed and a second bedroom with two log bunk beds that have a full size bed on the bottom. A full bath seperates the bedrooms and this level also has a powder room. Lower level, which is fully finished, has a neat bunk room with six twin size beds built into the wall and it's own full bath, and another large room that has two sets of bunk beds both of which have a full bed on the bottom, and it too has it's own full bath.

****ATTENTION: Thanksgiving week still open - a beautiful time to visit the cabin in the woods on the Great Lake. Also, rent up to two weeks over Christmas at a great rate. Call for details.

  • The Lupino's, Stefero's, Laughlin's, and Charnin families stayed at the lodge July 11th-17th. We had a family reunion with all of our mothers side. There was 12 adults,4 children. We had a blast. The house easily accommodated all the families very comfortably. The location was beautiful,secluded, miles and miles of lovely beaches to walk, amazing sunsets, wonderful wild life (eagles,black cougar,coyotes, fox,birds, etc...). The house sits a few steps up from the beach which was very convenient and private. We had bon-fires every night, took walks every morning, swam or kayaked every day, and walked on the beaches every night to witness the beautiful sunsets. It was just perfect. The kayakes and canoe were a plus and we used them every day with the proper equipment (life jackets, etc..)The water was crystal clear and an amazing carribean blue. We swam, fished, drank wine on the patio's, took multiple pictures, picked petoskey stones, cooked amazing meals every day for the group, and just plain hung out with one another. It was a great trip for a get together with the whole family. We explored the many wineries, the two quaint towns of northport and leland -fish town, and visited sleeping bear dunes. We had such a wonderful time. I can't say enough. If your looking for a private paradise, this is it!!!

  • An absolutely gorgeous cottage in a quiet, peaceful setting. We rented the home in July 2009 for an annual vacation with the extended family (three generations from grand parents to grand children; 18 people in all). Our entire family really enjoyed the trip, from my 5 year-old niece to my 76 year- old father. The location is great with good access to Sleeping Bear Dunes, local wineries, golf, and the handful of little towns in the area (Suttons Bay was the overall favorite). The home offers something for everyone from a peaceful place to read and relax to activities for those interested in biking, golf, the beach, etc. A handful of tips that may be helpful: (1) For such a large group, we pre-ordered most of our food from the Sam's Club in Traverse City and picked-up the order on our first morning in town. (2) If you bring jet skis, the public access dock on the north end of Lake Leelenau is only a few miles away and easily accessible; the lake is big, clean, and not crowded during weekdays. (3) The wineries of the Leelenau peninsula are very quaint and not overly pretentious; just good people and enjoyable wines. There are a dozen or so within close driving distance and we enjoyed all that we visited. (4) Be sure to stop at a local fruit stand and get your fill of sweet cherries if you visit in July. (5) Visit Pyramid Point in Sleeping Bear Dunes if you get a chance and are willing to walk about one-half mile to the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan (stunning views on a sunny day). (6) Take the time to enjoy a campfire in the fire pit on the beach at least one night during your stay (spectacular sunsets). A great place to stay and enjoy the beauty of northwestern Michigan.

  • We stayed at this house in September, 2007 for 3 nights, 4 days. The house is gorgeous, the views spectacular and I only wish we could have stayed longer. It was great for a 40th Anniversary trip for the inlaws. We all had our own rooms and plenty of space. The kitchen is great! We all brought groceries and cooked all meals there. The beach area / fire pit was great. Took a picture of myself working at my laptop at the seating area and sent it to work. Take your cameras and tri-pods. We got great family portraits in the front of the house, up the back stair case and down by the beach. To sum it up - AWESOME!!! Muffin is a natural, she made sure she got in all the photos.
