THE HIDEOUT, On Lake Leelanau in the Middle of Everything !

Our classic knotty pine family cottage is waterfront on Lake Leelanau. Its at the end of the lane tucked between the cedar forest and clear stream. No through traffic, no shared front yard; a place where you truly feel on vacation. Whether you enjoy sunrise and a cup of coffee, or sunset and and a glass of local wine you are sure to unwind in this beautiful waterfront.

The cottage is comfortably furnished with an Up North flair featuring log furniture and numerous Up-North touches. The open floor plan, living room- kitchen is perfect for conversation, family meals and games.

There are three bedrooms, two full baths, and a popular outdoor shower, plus a large family room giving you lots of space to spread out.
The 1st bedroom has a queen bed, the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms have double beds with a twin over (bunk style) beds. Kids love the hand carved turtles and raccoons on their beds. The den has a futon couch/bed, TV, DVD player, bar and game table. The family room makes a nice mini-suite, or a great place for the kids to hang-out.

From the front deck we've seen turtles, otter, deer, grouse, and eagles. The shallow lake entry area is perfect for play. The dock has room for your boat or make it your private fishing pier. Our area of the lake is popular with the fisherman who know the good spots.. Two kayaks and a canoe are included for a quiet morning paddle. The old-style pine picnic table and charcoal grill make outdoor meals a pleasure. Retire to the oversize hammock to read a book or take a nap. When it's time to clean up head for the outdoor shower with dressing area. The perfect end to an upnorth day is around the campfire where stories are told and marshmallow S'mores are the traditional treat.
