The historic Wheeler Cottage, a cherished local landmark on Warden’s Point, North Lake Leelanau, was built over 115 years ago (circa 1907) and sits on nearly 4 acres. Our cottage was one of the earliest cottages built by a prominent businessman named Warden on the east side of Lake Leelanau and could only be accessed by steamboat at the time The property boasts a verdant landscape of tall maple and cottonwood trees, lush grounds, and flower gardens.
