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. There is also a bike trail that travels from Little Traverse Lake all the way to the Sleeping Bear Dunes.

This cottage is built very close to the lake. If you want to get any closer to the water, you have to jump in!
