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....
