Our family of ten, all 14 and older, had a fabulous time at the Boathouse. The home was tucked away down a main side street where we could walk to the beach, groceries, shops and restaurants. We had wonderful nighttime fires on the side patio and read books on the swing on yet another side porch. We took daily walks along the beachside road and walked to tennis and pickleball courts. Sleeping and bath arrangements were comfortable for our big group. The kitchen offered everything we needed for “eating in” when wanted. Northport is such a beautiful, fun town in close proximity to Leland, Sutton’s Bay, Traverse City and even a nice day get-away to Glen Arbor and Empire. We are so thankful to have found this Boathouse gem.

Another perfect stay at the Boathouse!
This was our second stay at the Boathouse and it was just as great as the first. The home is equipped with most anything you’d need for a long stay. The proximity to downtown restaurants and shops (and Barb’s Bakery!) make it the perfect place to stay for an up north getaway. We can’t wait to rebook and come back for a third time!

Lovely Location
We really enjoyed our stay at the Boathouse. It's an interesting house and property which character and charm. The location is in town Northport which makes it a short walk to everything from the grocery store to quaint shops to the beautiful bay to local restaurants. It was a great trip!

Our week at The Boathouse
We had a great week at The Boathouse with our family. There is so much to do in Northport as well as the entire Leelanau Peninsula. Our 5 grandchildren enjoyed The Boathouse and exploring Northport. Our host, Mary Ellen, was very organized and communicated with me when I had a question.

Relaxing week near the lake
We had a group of 10 stay the week of July 4th. We were able to walk to downtown Northport to enjoy the Mitten, Barb's and the fireworks on the 4th. The house was well equipped -- especially the air conditioners and laundry -- to meet our family's needs. We'll definitely consider staying here again on our next trip to Northport.

Great Cottage, Great Location
We had a group of 8 people and 2 dogs and this house fit our needs perfectly! It was in a great location that allowed us to just walk into town and down to the beach. It was also a great location to be able to explore all of the peninsula and not have to drive very far to get anywhere. We would definitely love to stay here again!

Northport trip
We had a great stay. This house is conveniently locate near sleeping bear dunes, Glenn Arbor and Suttons Bay. Within walking distance to downtown Northport. Very convenient for going out for dinner and drinks at night. Great house with a lot of character. Plenty of beds and bedrooms for me and my family. Comfortable beds and furniture. We would definitely stay there again!

Back at the Boathous
4th time we've stayed at the Boathouse, so you could say we love love it. Mary Ellen is a fantastic host. Our dog knows the dog across the street. Everything in walking distance. Dine in. Patio dining. Take out. Groceries. Ice cream. Pizza. Brewery. Bakery. Beach. Leelanau County is a gem and Northport is a great town. Walkable. Minutes to Suttons Bay. Short drive to Leland. Beaches. Love the Boathouse - beds comfy, bathrooms refreshed, layout great. We will be back. Pet friendly.

Best Location
We loved the outside areas and the porch swing. There is plenty of parking. It is an old house and has had hodge podged not well done modifications. The outside is attractive.
The bathrooms and beds were clean. We asked for more towels and the owner accommodated. The cleanliness of the house is not good. Nice furnishings, but the furniture in the living room is very dirty as are the rugs and the floors. I did mention this to the owner, but she had no comment.

The Boathouse in the Fall
We had the absolute best time staying at the Boathouse. It was myself, my husband, sister, brother in law, niece, and mom. Plenty of bedrooms throughout and a nice open living space. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything you could need. The house was in a very walkable area. Just a one block walk will get you to downtown- with a grocery store, shops and restaurants. One block in the other direction will get you to an awesome waterfront park with a marina and beach and playground. I can’t say enough great things about the house and location. The proximity to Sutton’s Bay and Traverse City is excellent. We were able to hit some of favorite places in those towns and then head back to Northport within about 40 minutes tops.
The Boathouse is now a favorite and we will for sure be making a return visit!

Amazing
This was such an enjoyable place and I am so glad I found it. Northport is such a quaint area. So peaceful. The house was immaculate and comfortable. The layout was perfect for our group of 8. Plenty of sleeping room. And you didn’t get the sense that there were beds squeezed into odd places. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for everything needed to cook meals. Plenty of utensils. Bathrooms had towels for everyone. We brought along our own beach towels, because we like to have enough to lay out. And I brought along my own hair products but I always do. There’s a small supermarket in town for supplies. And we absolutely loved the fire pit. Sat out there every night. Never once used the TV set. A great place to air out with all the comforts of home. Definitely a keeper. We got really lucky with the weather too. If I didn’t have to get back to work I’d have requested additional days.

Great location; loved the flexibility
My family was looking for a last-minute short trip up north. We didn't want to commit to a whole week, so this house was perfect because it offered the flexibility to book for 4 nights. The location is fabulous. It's a block to downtown Northport (very charming) and to the water. There are also some great hiking trails within a 10-minute walk. Also, we were able to easily explore other parts of the Leelanau Peninsula.
The house is charming, clean and has plenty of beds. It's spacious and had many extra amenities, like a bag of ice in the freezer, propane for the grill and wood for the fire pit. I was surprised that there was no body soap or shampoo in the bathrooms. I wish I had known to ask in advance. I've always had soap and shampoo provided in other VRBO rentals. I didn't realize it's up to each renter to determine if they provide that.
There is a musty smell in the house, particularly on the first floor. The house is near the water and it's an older home, so I'm not sure it's avoidable. But, if someone has allergies or asthma, I think this might be important to know.

Get Yourself to the Boathouse on Waukazoo
fabulous house, bucolic setting...photos don't do the home justice. so lovley, comfortable. pet friendly, and northport has 'all the smells' for my favorite hound.
easy access to all you need in northport:
- New Bohemian Cafe [coffees, tees, lattes, breakfast and lunch sandwiches for carryout/patio]
- The Garage Bar & Grill [outdoor dining, carryout - GREAT frog legs]
- The Mitten Brewing Company [patio seating] PLUS
- The Big Hot Woody [we were there at the mitten when they fired up the oven for their fab pizza]
- Tom's Grocery Store
- Barb's Bakery [go.get those cinnamon stick]
- Northport Farmers Market [fridays 9-12]
all within walking distance. we visited Graham Greene County Park, Gill's Pier Beach [what's left of it], Grand Traverse Lighthouse, Peterson Park, Chimoski's bakery [Suttons Bay], Roman Wheel Pizza [twice!!, Suttons Bay], a quick drive to Traverse City, Good Harbor Bay [we always go down Bohemian Road, but you can go to the beach off of Good Harbor Trail]. Lots of walks with our pup...never the same walk!!
Mary Ellen Philbin is the quintessential host. Constant contact, she cared about all aspects of our trip, never any concerns.
we will most certainly be back....

Perfect location and perfect home for a family!
We absolutely loved The Boathouse on Waukazoo! This home is so adorable and beautifully decorated. We loved the nautical theme in the entire house and we were so impressed with how the owners have kept the character of the 1800s home but modernized it for current family needs. All of the furniture was so comfortable and we loved the big kitchen that we could all be in and cook together. The bathrooms were also very updated and upgraded and also had the nautical theme. We loved all of the outdoor spaces. I spent every morning with my coffee sitting on the front porch staring at the bay across the street. We loved the porch swing and we loved the furniture on the back patio where we relaxed by the fire pit and made s’mores. We also loved that this home is pet friendly. Thank you Mary Ellen for your excellent communication and for making sure this home is so welcoming and comfortable. Also what a wonderful location. Only a block from downtown so we were able to walk into town to have coffee in the morning at the Bohemian Café and walk to the cute shops and restaurants and farmers market on Friday! We could also walk to Tom’s Market when we needed groceries. We rented a pontoon from North Shore Outfitters and we were able to walk over to the marina every day. Such an awesome location! Northport is just a perfect small town right on the gorgeous bay, and The Boathouse was the perfect home for us for our week of vacation. Just wish we could have stayed longer and can’t wait to go back!

オーナーについて
オーナー : Mary Ellen Philbin
Pat and I (Mary Ellen) live and work in Orlando, Florida. We both grew up in Michigan and have visited family often over the years. I grew up in Suttons Bay which is just south of Northport. I, and my Florida born kids, have visited Leelanau County every year since they were born (nearly 30 years). We now have kids and grand kids in Traverse City! The whole family loves Leelanau County and feel like we belong there! So, we bought our own little piece of paradise! Since we are still working, we are willing to share our happy place with you! We hope you enjoy it and if we can do anything to make your stay more comfortable, we will do our very best!
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
The Boathouse was built in 1908. It has all of the good and some of the challenging that comes with a house this old. This house is not easily accessible to people with mobility issues. The front entrance has two sets of stairs. The back entrance is not paved and is slightly uphill. Inside it has very high ceilings and nice roomy spaces. We love the character of the house. In the winter there is a beautiful view of the bay from the front and side porches. In summer the view is there but a bit more elusive due to the lush trees and bushes. On the top of the list of pros about the Boathouse is it's location! Less than a city block to the public beach, the public park and the marina. The road to the beach is not busy so you can let the kids come and go safely. Downtown is literally two houses away! Groceries, bakery, restaurants, bowling alley and brewery all within steps. Can't beat this when traveling with a young family or a fun adult get away...
この宿泊施設の特徴
For us the unique beauty of the place is that we are close to family and friends. The people of Leelanau County are truly welcoming.
