North Cub Cottage - Newly built cottage directly on Little Traverse Lake

Come enjoy a true Northern Michigan getaway. The Sleeping Bear North Cub Cottage is located on Little Traverse Lake in beautiful Leelanau County on scenic M22. This newly built house is directly on the lake. Step out from the living room onto a sunny deck overlooking pristine Little Traverse Lake. There is a grill, fire pit, and deck area for outdoor dining or watching the sunset over the lake. The sandy area leads out to the warm, crystal-clear lake.

The location of the cottage is perfect for experiencing all the county has to offer. We are located between Leland and Glen Arbor. You can take a trip north to see Fishtown in Leland, or continue on to Northport. Head south to spend some time in Glen Arbor and Empire. Trails on the other side of the lake lead you out to the National Lakeshore, where you can walk on the beaches of Lake Michigan for miles. Our cottage is located across from Market 22 (an excellent restaurant) and less than a mile away from Little Traverse Inn, a restaurant, historic landmark, and one of the first "hotels" in Leelanau County.

The "North Cub House" is newly built. It has 3 bedrooms. The front 2 bedrooms each have a king bed and an amazing view of the lake. There is also a back bunk room with full beds top and bottom (also with views of the lake). There are 2 full bathrooms upstairs (one with a walk-in shower, one with a full bath/shower). There is also a half bath on the main floor.

"North Cub House" also has an open living space with sliding glass doors overlooking the lake. A fireplace keeps you cozy at night, and a fire pit outside is perfect for unwinding after a long day exploring. Sit by the campfire, toast some s'mores and be amazed at the millions of stars you can see in the dark sky of Leelanau County.

Step out of the glass doors, onto a deck and into the water. Little Traverse Lake is an all-sports lake. If you are looking for activities, you can rent or bring your own boat and spend a day on the water, fishing, tubing or simply soaking up the sun. There is a boat launch on the west side of the lake. Or bring bikes and ride the Heritage Trail that leads from Little Traverse Lake all the way to Sleeping Bear Dunes and beyond. If you like to golf, there are several golf courses nearby. If you want to try the local flavors, there are endless wineries, distilleries, and breweries in the area. You can schedule a guided tour or try out a few at a time on your own. Leelanau County is known for its beauty and charm, and the timeless quality found in the local farms, beaches, hiking trails, and small towns.

Relax and leave your worries behind. Come enjoy the splendor of Northern Michigan without having to pack the kitchen sink. Our cottage comes fully equipped: Kitchen utensils, spices and cooking necessities, bed linens, towels, s'mores essentials, fire pits, logs for fires, and a dock on the huge slice of lake frontage.
