About this property

The Eagle Ranch, central to everything, spacious yet cozy. Quiet setting

This is a complete home is in the heart of the beautiful, Leelanau peninsula. three (3) BR's, two (2) baths, comfortably sleeps 6 guests. Spacious, feel at home, enjoy our Cedar forest and large yard. Room to run and play. Full laundry if needed. Flat screen TV, radio, and WIFI to stay in touch. Very comfortable furniture. Bookcases are loaded . Gas BBQ grill, outdoor above ground fire pit. Central to; food markets, restaurants aplenty, Fishtown, vineyards, sunsets and lakeshores/beaches, trails, biking and more. Close to Aurora winery/wedding venue. The night sky is an awesome sight to ponder on a dark night.

Quite a sight to see...

Convenient location

We come to visit my dad in Northport every year and this place was perfect for us! We were close to the surrounding towns to go out to lunch or dinner, but also had all the comforts of home and enjoyed several home cooked meals too. The home was well stocked with everything you need before that first shopping trip. We will stay here again as the hosts were very accommodating and friendly.

Eagle Ranch is beautifully maintained. The house was impeccable and perfectly situated for visits to Northport, Suttons Bay and Fishtown. Our hosts were lovely and welcoming, and my friends and I greatly appreciated the extraordinary little touches they left for us to make our stay so pleasant: cookies; milk and a bottle of wine in the fridge; all kinds of literature about the region, etc.(there were actually too many to mention here). We really enjoyed the beautiful grounds and the privacy and hope to rent the house again for future visits to friends in Northport.

Keith and Sherry were awesome hosts! From the homemade cookies and milk, bottle of wine, coffee and all the little things made you feel they’re hospitality. This rental is very private yet close to all there is to see and do on the Leelanau Peninsula. We would not hesitate to rent again the Eagle Ranch.

The home was perfectly located to the winery where our son was getting married, as well as to other wineries, attractions and eateries. The home is very clean and homey. We felt right at home. Our hosts provided everything we could have imagined needing and more, even providing goodies for our arrival. We loved it and will definitely stay again. Thank you to our hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Keith Ashley

Host profile image
I am a retired manager from Ameritech. I love the idea of hosting guests and providing a clean, comfortable home for vacationing. Sherry is retired from her gift shop business and shares the joy of being a host.

Why they chose this property

It is unique in that it is two ranch houses joined and separated by a garage. It affords us the opportunity to offer a complete 3 BR, 2 bath home entirely for the use of our guests with full privacy. We see our role as being here to welcome you when possible, assist with questions and do whatever is necessary to ensure your comfort and enjoyment, and yet be mostly invisible. Every guest we have had, has been pleased with all aspects of our home. The niggling problem we had at times with WIFI has been solved with all new equipment. We hire a professional cleaner to attend to ensuring that you enter a sanitized home upon arrival.

What makes this property unique

Our central location places us almost equal distance to Leland, Northport, Lake Leelanau, and Suttons Bay. We are in the midst of orchards and vineyards, quick drive to 24 wineries and several wedding venues. Good restaurants reopening for the summer rush. Beaches in each of nearby towns. Our guest guide will help you find the fun, food or drink you seek. Our rates are tailored to be cost effective for families.
