About the host
Your host
Hello, we are the Drake family and we are so happy to share our house with you! We have been coming up to the Leelanau area for years and have built so many wonderful memories swimming and boating on the lake. Yard games, grilling and bonfires are some of our favorite times up north. We love visiting all the local attractions like Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, hiking and biking all the amazing trails throughout Leelanau county. Visiting Lake Michigan, kayaking the crystal river, tubing the Platte river and checking out all the beautiful towns and markets. The wineries are all so unique and we have found them to be super family friendly. We love going out to the local restaurants and sitting outside listening to music and of course getting ice-cream.
In the Winter there are many local trails and wineries that offer access to snowshoeing. cross-country skiing and fat tire biking. We also enjoy driving to the local downhill ski resorts for a day of downhill skiing . Timberlee Hills offers snow tubbing and there are many local parks where you can just go sledding and iceskating. For a winter water adventure there are many places to ice fish or river kayak.
In the Fall the colors of the leaves changing are beautiful for hiking and exploring.
We are excited to share our favorite place with others and open our home to many families creating great memories! We know you'll love it as much as we do!!
