Great Stay!

This home was perfect for our group of 4 adults. Communication with owner was very good. Very clean and best stocked VRBO we have stayed in. Cherry pie left for us was a nice touch. Close to a few restaurants and shops. Nice private outdoor area with table and chairs out back. Comfortable beds and the AC worked great, as it got very hot! We would recommend and definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay!

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our long weekend in Leelanau. The home was well equipped, cozy, and inviting. So many extras - apple pie and ice cream upon our arrival, a milkshake machine, beautiful private patio space, comfortable bed and furniture, a short walk to local restaurants, and centrally located to everything the peninsula has to offer. Highly recommend!!!!

Great place-great location

Great place, great setting, quiet area, close to Leland, close to North port, close to Suttons Bay, and Traverse City. Close to lakes. The only thing that could upgrade the experience from “great” to “perfect”, would have been a fenced in back yard for our Collies. But, we made it work without skipping a beat. The cherry pie for us as a checking in bonus, was delicious!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Ashmore

Host profile image
We, Carol and Jim Ashmore, are excited to be opening our home to you. Carol was born and raised in Traverse City while Jim came from Stockbridge. For over 30 years we lived and worked down state. Returning to Leelanau County and being able to live here have been a dream come true for us

ATW also has a year round rental, with a separate entrance and separate driveway on the lower level of the house. Having lived six months a year for eight years in the main level of our home, lower level noise has never been a problem. When we renovated ATW we made special efforts to sound proof the house as much as possible.

Why they chose this property

Family roots and a deep appreciation for the beautiful natural landscape of the area have always been a magnet for us. Carol's family has been in Leelanau County since the mid-1800's. Her mother was born and raised in Northport. Many of her cousins still live in the area. We enjoy walking the many beaches, swimming and looking for Petoskey stones, riding our bikes and sometimes just going for a ride. There is no other place we want to call home!

What makes this property unique

We're sure you will enjoy the morning sun streaming in the living room window and the evening sun warming the back yard patio. Within walking distance you will find the friendly community of Lake Leelanau with three very different places to eat, a distillery, a winery, a coffee shop and a pastry shop. Nearby Suttons Bay offers a lovely cinema and unique shopping. Historic Fishtown on Lake Michigan is a five mile drive to Leland. Traverse City, with all it offers the vacationer, is only 20 miles away. Perhaps you would like a day trip to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Glen Arbor or an evening outing in Peshawbestown at the Leelanau Sands Casino. Our central location gives you a multitude of options, all close to home. And when you return home from your day's adventures, you will feel the comfort and relaxation that only home can give you.
