Nestled in the forest near Leland, on the largest private Lake Michigan access in the area, guests enjoy the beach, tranquil property, free kayaks, paddle boards, and bicycles. Jolli-Lodge is the original Leelanau resort with laid-back, up-north style. No extra charge for weekly s’more roasts, beach bonfires or magnificent sunsets! PETS ARE WELCOME ONLY IN SPRING/FALL - NO PETS FROM 6/22/24 - 8/15/24!
AUGUST is a second story, one bedroom/one bathroom corner condo in the Grace House building. Located just across the lawn from the shore of Lake Michigan, guests in this spacious unit enjoy spectacular lake views from the living and dining areas, from the large, private, screened porch with a sofa and dining table, and from the private verandah that spans the length of the unit. The fully-equipped kitchen retains its original pink vintage charm, and is fully stocked with cookware and dishes. BBQ grills are available for use on the ground level. The bedroom has a partial lake view and a king bed that can be made into two twins with advance notice ($30 fee applies). There is a full-sized futon in the living room, and a single rollaway bed that can be used anywhere in the unit, for a maximum of 5 guests. AUGUST (or “Gus” as it is affectionately nicknamed) has a quaint wood-paneled bathroom with a stand up shower. Hardwood floors and built-in dining room cabinets accent August’s classic charm. All Jolli-Lodge units include free Wi-Fi and flat screen TVs with cable.
ABOUT US:
The Jolli-Lodge Resort has 22 individual rental units of varying sizes, including lodge rooms, condos, and cottages that rent nightly and weekly. Most have beautiful Lake Michigan views (see individual listings), and all are just steps away from the water’s edge. Every cottage and condo has its own fully equipped, private kitchen. Lodge rooms share a common dining area that includes a refrigerator, microwave and toaster, plus dishes and utensils. Free parking is available to all guests. Laundry facilities are available on-site.
Set back in the woods on the shore of Lake Michigan, just off of beautiful M-22, we are located only three miles south of Leland and historic Fishtown. The entire Leelanau Peninsula is easily accessible from the Jolli-Lodge. The closest winery is across the street, with over 20 more - plus breweries and distilleries - just minutes away. Both casual and fine dining are nearby. The world renowned Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore begins just a few miles south of the lodge, the ferry to the Manitou Islands is within 5 minutes, and Traverse City is a beautiful 30 minute drive away. Plenty of boutique shopping is available in Leland, Northport, Glen Arbor and Suttons Bay. Golf, fishing, hiking, biking, swimming, boating, shopping and relaxing are all popular activities with our guests. Quiet hours are from 11 pm - 9 am and are strictly enforced so that all of our guests can enjoy the peaceful tranquility of our lakeside property. No parties, please.
We love Lake Michigan! Because our property is located extremely close to the shoreline, we are very careful about our waste water output. Our occupancy maximums for each unit are carefully calculated with this in mind and are strictly enforced. When making your reservations with us, all members of your group must be counted toward your total number of guests. This includes children and infants of any age/size. Any parties in excess of the occupancy limits as set forth on our website may be subject to cancellation without refund.
The Jolli-Lodge is the original Lake Michigan resort - we’ve been hosting guests to the Leelanau Peninsula for 65 years! All guests of the Jolli-Lodge have access to the beaches, lawns, and recreational areas of the resort - including the ping-pong table, newly tennis/basketball area, playground, playhouse, tire swing, shuffleboard court, soccer field, and horseshoes game. Open to all of our guests is the main lodge building, which houses our front desk/office and gift shop/commissary, and where coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are available 24/7. Jolli-Lodge guests frequently gather around the grand piano, original stone fireplace, and large flat screen TV in the main lodge living room. We have a diverse lending library, board games, and puzzles in the lodge as well. The spacious porch is an iconic, “up north” classic that looks out over the beautiful Lake Michigan vista and is open to all of our guests. The Jolli-Lodge paddle boards, kayaks, paddle boats, and fleet of bikes in all shapes and sizes are available for guest use at no charge. We provide free firewood for fireplaces and bonfires. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. We are family friendly, but we also have plenty of space for peace and quiet. Our family has lived on-site since 1956, and we are always on hand to answer questions, give local advice, and share our stories - we have plenty! The main office is staffed daily for your convenience.
