Traverse City Cottage | Beautiful lakefront cottage on South Lake Leelanau with pontoon!

4 Bedroom Cottage in Traverse City

Come and enjoy our peaceful, relaxing lakefront getaway! Beautiful Lake Leelanau views from living room, kitchen, and upstairs bedroom/balcony. The summer sunsets are breathtaking!
Our cottage is located 20 minutes north of downtown Traverse City and 12 minutes away from the quaint town of Sutton’s Bay. The famous Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes are a 40-minute drive. We provide a detailed tourist binder for more in-depth information of nearby towns and attractions and are always willing to answer any questions about the area!
We have a docked pontoon boat available for rent with proof of a boater's license. The cost to rent our pontoon is a weekly rate of $800. We will not do daily rentals and a waiver will need signed.
The front of the cottage includes a large deck with gas grill and outdoor dining table. The lake is approximately 50 feet from the deck. There is a small sandy beach area, fire pit, small deck, and a dock for lake access.
We want you to feel comfortable and at home in our cottage. All amenities are listed below. Bed linens and towels are provided. We provide bath towels but ask tenants to bring their own beach towels. Also, please know we do not have air-conditioning in our cottage. The cool northern Michigan nights and breeze from the lake typically keep things comfortable. We also ask tenants understand this is a non-smoking residence.
We are pet friendly and your dog(s) are welcome to vacation with you!
*Note: A few reviews from years ago have comments about the host living on property. Please know this is no longer the case. You will have the cottage to yourself. This includes the whole downstairs (two bedrooms, bath, living room, kitchen) and half the upstairs (two bedrooms and bath). We close off the other half for our personal use when we are home and not renting.
