Location: Traverse City, Northwest, Michigan, USA (5 miles north of Traverse City, on Grand Traverse Bay) View Map
Accommodations: Log Home, 4 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 10-12)
Located on a heavily forested bluff above the west Grand Traverse Bay is our Leelanau Log Home. The property is two and a half acres of wooded hills leading to the bay frontage shared with one other lot. The home enjoys complete privacy year round, with a beautifully landscaped back yard plus an outdoor shower. There is plenty of room for picnicing, badminton, basketball, volleyball or just sun bathing. Our home has two porches, the front porch has a swing (adored by children), the back porch
has a gas grill and comfortable furniture. It is a great place for an afternoon nap or early evening cocktails. The front of the property has 88 feet of frontage on the beautiful Grand Traverse Bay, with a deck overlooking a sandy beach.
The setting is special, but the Log Home itself makes the biggest impression. Logs milled on three sides give a rustic exterior appearance, but the interior is an elegant mix of contemporary and antique furniture. It features cherry floors, tech lighting, fire slate and stainless kitchen counters. The cabinets are filled with enough cooking implements to whip up a gourmet feast for twelve. This is no bare back rental, but rather a comfortable retreat in the heart of the Leelanau Peninsula. The Home has an open plan that lends itself to congenial gatherings. It sleeps thirteen, with three queen-size beds, two twins, a bunk, and a fold out sofa bed. We also have a porta-crib and a high chair
