We are now taking reservations for the Fall Color season.
Located between the charming villages of Northport and Omena on Michigan’s beautiful Leelanau Peninsula, this spacious and beautifully appointed upscale beach house is situated directly on the shores of Grand Traverse Bay, with over 150 feet of private, wide sandy beach in a secluded wooded setting. Enjoy blissful days filled with sunning, swimming, boating, skiing, beachcombing, grilling, and spending true quality time with your family and friends. From the beach house, you will be treated to stunning sunrises over the water each morning and tranquil evenings where the colors of the sunset reflect off the bay.
The wooded, 2.13 acre lot provides a sense of pleasant seclusion, screened from neighbors on either side.
Constructed of stone and cedar, this expansive home has bright indoor spaces with large picture windows offering unobstructed views of the bay and "Gull Island." The two story living room is warmed by a natural stone fireplace. The outdoor patios on the bayside, one with an electric retractable awning, provide additional living spaces for dining and relaxing.
With five bedrooms and four baths, the home sleeps from 14 to 18 people in comfort, and is perfect for a large and/or extended family, or several smaller families. All the bedrooms are spacious and provide ample sleeping space without crowding. On the first floor there is a large master suite with gorgeous views of the bay, a sitting area, and a private entrance from the patio. A second bedroom on the first floor has a queen bed and its own bath. Upstairs are three bedrooms: one has a queen bed and another has a queen and two twins. These two bedrooms share a full bath. Finally, there is a huge upstairs suite with a private bath accessible from a back staircase with four twin beds -- perfect for the kids. If the beds are not enough to accommodate your party, there are two brand new sofa beds -- a full size in the den and a queen in the living room.
The dining room facing the bay, which has floor to ceiling windows and bead board wainscoting, has a large farmhouse table that will seat 10 comfortably. Additional seating is available in the adjacent living room or on the patio directly accessible from the dining room. The charming kitchen, with custom bead board cabinets and top quality appliances, is fully equiped to prepare gourmet meals and serve all of your guests.
The home’s interior has been updated with all new furnishings and rugs, top quality brand new beds, fresh paint, new light fixtures, newly-tiled baths and laundry room, updated bath cabinetry and hardware, and maple flooring throughout. The home is elegantly but casually and cheerfully decorated, and fully equipped with all of the comforts of home. Check back later for updated photos of the interior that reflect the final finishing touches (artwork and curtains).
The beach house opens onto a beautiful wide sandy beach, complete with a dock, boat hoist and swimming ladder. Only a strip of lawn -- perfect for croquet or horseshoes -- separates the house from the beach. No climbing down dunes or stairs or navigating winding paths. Beach chairs, beach towels, toys and kayaks for exploring the bay are provided. The sandy cove invites long strolls in search of Petoskey Stones and other treasures. The home is on a cove in Grand Traverse Bay, with calmer waters, making it perfect for small craft boating and skiing. After a day at the beach, take advantage of the newly added outdoor shower. In the evening, enjoy the colors of the sunset reflecting off the waters of the bay and gather round a beach fire (we have a large, stone-surrounded fire pit on the beach).
The fantastic "Up North" experience does not end with summer. Enjoy spectacular foliage, biking, golfing, hiking and winery tours while while making this beautiful beach house your home base at color season rates. Fall and winter weekend stays, as well as holiday weeks, are also available.
IMPORTANT: Please access our website from the link below for many more photos and information on this truly special beach house. Please note that this house is newly refurbished and furnished; however the photos do not reflect the final finishing touches we added in June such as curtains and artwork. Updated pictures will be available soon. |
