About this property
🌲 The Birches ➠Luxury Condotel in Downtown Lake Leelanau | U1
Step outside and you're 236 feet from downtown Lake Leelanau at The Birches — the marina, wine-tasting rooms, and the public boat launch are all a minute's walk from your door. This is Up North living without leaving the village. Start the morning with the Chateau Chantal sparkling wine waiting in your kitchen, walk to Iron House Gym on the house, then spend the day however you like — wine tasting along the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, browsing downtown, out on the water at the marina, or driving out to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the bike trails. Every part of Leelanau County, Michigan is just minutes from your door. The location alone means this stay feels less like a hotel room and more like the Lake Leelanau condo you wish you owned. Two bedrooms, two and a half baths, and real square footage to spread out in — a king suite, a second bedroom with two queens, and a sleeper sofa in the living area, so eight people can stay together without stacking on top of each other. The kitchen is stocked to actually cook a dinner, not just microwave one. In-unit laundry means you pack light and leave heavy. A private balcony and Smart TVs with your own streaming logins round out the space. Downtown Lake Leelanau, Michigan — the public boat launch and marina are a one-minute walk away, right inside the Leelanau Peninsula's wine-touring radius, and NJ's Grocery is even closer at 318 feet. Suttons Bay Beach is 4.5 miles, Bahle Farms Golf Course is 6.6 miles, Sleeping Bear Dunes is a 25-minute drive, and Cherry Capital Airport, in Traverse City, is about the same. Sleeps 8 (adults and kids). Check-in 4 PM, check-out 11 AM, self-check-in by smart lock. Quiet hours 10 PM–8 AM and a strict no-party policy. No smoking indoors. Please note: each unit has two sets of stairs and no elevator access.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
