Northerness Cottage; a Short Ride to America's #1 Rated Beach!

We had a big group- 8 adults and 3 babies- for a fall color tour weekend. And, though the weather wasn't the greatest, Northerness was the perfect base of operations for a weekend of short hikes at Sleeping Bear Dunes and jaunts to downtown Glen Arbor. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with a nice large refridgerator. The extra french press was much appreciated!

There is a TON of stuff for guests to use in the garage. I'd love to come back for a summer visit and utilize some of the beach gear. (Not the mention the amazing deck we couldn't spend much time on, the inviting outdoor fire pit, and the intriguing outdoor shower.) Thanks!

Loved the location. I could not believe we were in a neighborhood. It felt so private and secluded. Because we were centrally located to our destinations: the dunes, wineries, breweries and all that Leelanau Peninsula has to offer, it was very convenient to stay in Glen Arbor.

The property was well maintained and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable and that is the most important thing. I would highly recommend this property to others.

We stayed here for a girl's trip. It was an amazing property that offered plenty of room for all five of us. We loved the location and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Planning on bringing my family next time. Thanks for an amazing experience!

SECOND YEAR repeat - This home provides all we needed for a wonderful stay. The new "addition" on the home is great. A private closed off spot for children or adults to watch TV, play games or have their quiet space. There is a sliding door close off and exit to patio off this room. You could also sleep on the two large corner couches if you choose to. We cooked inside and out. Oh and I do not want to forget the pleasure of the outdoor warm shower with the sun shining above or seeing the stars - kept sand and moisture out of the house. The location is perfect - a block outside of town. Enjoyed bike riding the dune trails, kayaking, shopping and visiting a couple of surrounding areas. The owners are responsive and I had the pleasure of meeting them. Highly recommend this vacation home.

This home has everything -- four separate sleeping areas with linens provided, bikes, beach gear, outdoor games, kitchen supplies, fire pit, and air conditioning. The location is in a quiet wooded setting that is within walking distance to town, a beautiful bike path, and several beaches. A perfect Michigan vacation place!
