Come and enjoy a relaxing family vacation in Northern Michigan. Our cottage is located on Little Traverse Lake in beautiful Leelanau County. It is just a short drive to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, voted the #1 vacation destination in America. It is located directly on the lake which is sandy and warm all summer long, with beautiful sunsets year round! We are located near several wineries for a fun, unique tour of the county. The cottage is directly on the water with a large deck for outdoor eating and grilling.
The Lake House has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The second bathroom has been newly renovated with a custom slate shower! The first bedroom has a king bed, the second has a queen, the third is a bunkroom with 2 bunks with full beds on the bottom and twins on top and the fourth bedroom has one bunk with full on the bottom and twin on top. Perfect for 2 families to share, or cozy enough for a couple to enjoy on their own.
The entire front of the home is windows directly overlooking the beautiful sunsets over Little Traverse Lake. Inside, there is a large, knotty pine living room with a cathedral ceiling and a massive fieldstone fireplace, a fully-stocked kitchen with a gorgeous lake view, all within steps of the water. For those of you who prefer to do your cooking outdoors, there is a large deck built just outside the sliding glass doors, with a gas grill for the full outdoor experience. There is also a fire pit in front of the home, perfect for a campfire and some s'mores.
Relax and leave your worries behind. Come enjoy the splendor of a fantastic Northern Michigan experience without having to pack the kitchen sink. Our cottage comes fully equipped from the kitchen utensils to bed linens.
Traverse Lake is located in Leelanau County between Leland and Glen Arbor. The Lake is within the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and close to several of Northwest Michigan's many attractions. It is adjacent to the National Lakeshore property which offers miles of heavily forested trails, as well as beautiful, Lake Michigan shoreline to take walks or hunt for Petoskey stones.
This is a very cute and cozy cottage built very close to the lakeshore. If you want to get any closer to the water, you have to jump in!

My family and I stayed at The Lake House this past summer. We have stayed at several other cottages in the past, and this was such a great place for an old-fashioned family getaway. We love the knotty pine interior and the stone fireplace. We were able to take day trips to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Leland and Glen Arbor...perfect spot for it all.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Our experience at The Lake House was more than we ever expected! It was like stepping back in time to experience an old-fashioned vacation on the lake. The cottage was charming and cozy. The sunsets were spectacular! The kids absolutely loved the bunkbed rooms in the back of the house. My family will definitely be back!

Pros: Cottage was in a great location close to everything, the lake was great and the view was outstanding. The people that own it are very nice. Cons: The cottage is old and dirty in need of a good cleaning this drove my wife nuts, I thought for the money we spent it should be clean. We had a few issues and they did their best to correct them asap.
Owner response:We experienced difficulty with a new cleaning service we hired. Based on this review, we replaced them with a more attentive service, and have not had problems.
Recommended for:Families with young children, tourists without a car.
