About this property

This French country-style cabin is set amongst our private woods in Leelanau County. It is a place to relax and enjoy the quietness of the woods. This will be your home away from home, for sure.

From the moment you enter the driveway from the main road, it will take you back into the woods to your cabin. This cabin is so quaint when you open the door. It has a fully equipped kitchen. It has a screened-in porch to relax, enjoy a meal, drink, chill, and read a book in our swing chair. We also have complimentary local wine from Leelanau for all of our guests. Enjoy that glass of wine by sitting in our relaxing chairs on the patio by the fire table.

The cabin is conveniently located near many activities, restaurants, and beaches. The bike trail is approximately 1/2 mile from the cabin locations, with Traverse City and Suttons Bay nearby. The nearest local winery is a short 2-minute drive north, deeper into Leelanau Peninsula wine country.

Whether you desire comfortable, quiet solitude at the cabin or prefer exploring the unique area of Leelanau Country and surrounding counties, it is up to you.

We hope you will enjoy relaxing at our cabin, exploring, or doing whatever you have planned while in the area. For many years, we have had this dream of sharing the beauty of our property with others. We hope that it will become your favorite spot when visiting our area.

Perfect Getaway

Perfect getaway with a close proximity to downtown Traverse City as well as Sutton’s Bay and surrounding wineries. Terry and Beth answered every question we had almost immediately. Need to come back in the summer to see what the property looks like without 4 feet of snow

Amazing Anniversary Get Away

The property was amazing and so peaceful to walk around. The little extras on the property made it a place we will return on future trips up North. I would highly recommend this property for trips up to the Traverse City Area.

Our favorite little cabin in the woods

This cottage, and all the cottages on property are an absolute gem. We've stayed on property many times and always enjoy our time at the French Cottage. Beth & Terry are wonderful hosts and go above and beyond when hosting guests in their cottages. There are so many places to see and visit on the Leelanau peninsula that are close to the property. We look forward to coming back year after year!

If I tell you how amazing this place is, don’t book up my dates!

I hesitate to tell you how truly wonderful this cabin is, but only because I selfishly want to keep it for myself! My husband & I have stayed at many places in the area and this is our very favorite. It is quiet, beautiful, immaculate and comfortable. The location is perfect for exploring all the area has to offer. The hosts are helpful, friendly, and generous. We know this is a place we’ll return to as often as possible!

Not to be missed - A "getaway" to get away from it all

We were amazed & most appreciative of all the attention to detail & comforts provided by Beth & Terry. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing spot that also happens to be close to as much activity as you wish to pursue, this is the place for you.

Another Beautiful Stay

This is our 4th visit to the French Country cottage! We absolutely love the R&R each visit brings along with some adventuring along the way. This cute little cottage is BEAUTIFULLY appointed. We love evenings on the porch with the fire table listening to the woods around us. This trip we saw deer right off the driveway and the fall colors (though just past peak) were beautiful. We cannot recommend this place enough and will continue to savor our time here. Thank you Beth and Terry for being fabulous hosts!

Wine Country

Very clean, well stocked, peaceful and decorated very cozy. They thought of everything and the welcome treats of wine and chocolate and salsa was a very nice surprise. Plus fresh farm eggs in the fridge, delicious! There were even cozy his and her bathrobes to use! We will stay here again. One suggestion would be a sound bar to go with the tv since the living room is large. We definitely recommend and the hosts were great.

About the host

Hosted by Terry and Beth

Terry and Beth have been married for over twenty Seven years. Terry was born and raised in Leelanau County on the property adjacent to the cabin entrance. Beth grew up on a dairy farm in Charlevoix, MI. They met in Traverse City and decided to make their permanent home in the beautiful Leelanau Country, close to where Terry grew up. They both love nature and the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

It has been Terry and Beth's dream to share the beauty of their property with others and this has given them the opportunity to do so. This is a must see and stay cabin if you want to relax within nature but be close to many activities, wineries, breweries, and restaurants.
