About the host
Hosted by Natalie Martin
Northern Michigan has such a special place in our family's heart. Our grandparents built this amazing house 30+ years ago as a place to bring the family together and so when it came a time for us to buy it, we just couldn't let it go. Now we're excited to share this very special place with all of our guests. Between our parents that own a local cidery, and all of the sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles that own places all over the Leelanau Peninsula, this is the area that brings us all together. I'm easily reachable for any of your questions or needs and always happy to share any local knowledge from the best farm stands, to great biking trails and wineries. Feel free to message me for any questions before booking your stay.
What makes this property unique
All of Leelanau is beautiful but our stretch of beach is the most beautiful and special beach I have ever seen in Michigan. There is some of the best stone hunting in the area with a plethora of petoskey and blue stones, clean water and white sand, and a large private beach with very few neighbors and no public access.
