Beautiful Family House on the Lake
About this cottage rental
Situated in Leland, this attractive cottage for $1,145 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. This family lakefront property has been in the Stanton family for four generations. The original log cabin was replaced in the early 1980s by an architect designed spacious house that can comfortably hold a crowd or be intimate enough for a small group. It is situated on a large lakefront lot on the eastern shore of North Lake Leelanau with private woods to the south and deck overlooking the lake. The sunsets are breathtaking. This house provides easy access to the water with a long pier and unique recreational dock with boat lift. Boat launch is just 1/2 a mile down the road from the house. We also enjoy the only private marina on the lake so guests can easily dock their boats, ski-dos or a pontoon boat (available for rental in Lake Leelanau). The lakefront area is safe and easy for swimming and the water is crystal clear. There is no sandy beach at our site, but Nedow's Beach is reachable by boat right across the lake. Sunny rear patio is great for windy days and is off the kitchen for easy outdoor cooking. There is a fire pit for lakefront campfires. The house includes: a large, comfortable master bedroom with private bath. Guest bedroom with full size and semi-private full bath. And two great bunk rooms with eight twin beds total and a full bath. LARGE lake viewing living/dining room with seating for lots of people inside, not including all the outside areas for BBQ. The sunsets from the house are unimaginable. The house is set up with quiet and social zones so kids and adults can enjoy the house and not be on top of each other. The Lake House is a one of a kind place that is rarely available for rental. You'll love it. We do. Keywords: Lake house, vacation house, family house,

We were overjoyed the minute we walked into this gorgeous home. The views are breathtaking. Everything that we could have possibly needed was provided. Our three kids and four adults all had a wonderful week.

Beautiful old family cottage with gorgeous views of Lake Leelanau. Cottage is filled with family items and feels very homey, but needs some updates. I had understood there were two queen beds, but actually only one queen and one full-sized bed (plus the 8 twins/bunk beds). Kitchen very well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. We had plenty of room to spread out, loved the upper and lower decks for enjoying the sunsets.

This home was very clean compared to other homes that we have rented. We had 4 adults and 5 young kids and the bunk beds were great for the kids and the one floor was great for getting around easily. The dock was close and good railings on the outdoor stairs to get up and down. The house is adorable and we will be back. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

Nice get away from the everyday hustle and bustle of a big city. Clean home on the water with lots of space ,and everything you need to stay for a week or beyond. We loved that there were plenty of pot, pans and cooking/grilling utensils. The grill really came in handy. If you like to fish, there are plenty of places to fish nearby including the dock at their home.

Total paradise
We loved staying here over LDW! Great for large groups or multiple families. Very pet and family friendly. Incredible location right on Lake Leelanau- turquoise water right outside with excellent lake access (beach and docks). We loved the entertaining spaces outside- multiple decks, bonfire pit. The sunsets from the house were so great! The house is spacious with plenty of room inside for our group- two living spaces, the guys loved the pool table. Very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. The location was perfect- close to Leeland and plenty of up north wineries. The house was very private and secluded from neighbors and set back from the main road. This part of the lake is gorgeous, clear water and sandy bottom. The property owner was very responsive to all our questions and made the process very easy. We will be back again!

Wonderful Vacation House
Our family has been vacationing in the Lake Leelanau area for over
25 years over the Labor Day weekend. We have stayed in this home
twice and enjoyed the spacious house, the deck and waterfront are
fantastic, and the location is very convenient . We will book again!

Great location, large house with plenty of room
The family has been expanding this house for a couple generations. It’s a great layout, checkout other reviews for room details. They’ve done a good job respecting the landscape. Plenty of outdoor entertainment room, dock, etc. very peaceful location. Fully stocked with everything except your food.

Love this cottage!
This is our second rental of this cottage on the north end of Lake Leelanau where my family had a cottage for over 50 years. This cottage has a great layout for numerous guests, a large deck both at the cottage and down on the water which gives everyone the space they need. The rooms are spacious and the decor is exactly how it should be for a lakeside cottage. We love coming up here and will continue to do so!

Perfect location for a family summer vacation
As others have said in their reviews, this house is much larger than the pictures suggest. There is a master bedroom with a queen bed, another bedroom with two twins, and two bedrooms each with two bunk beds (making 4 beds per bunk-bed room). The common rooms are large, the pool table is great, and the kitchen is just fine for family meals. The deck/dock are awesome, and the sunsets are gorgeous. We rented a boat during our time there and loved every minute of lakefront life. The kids were able to catch perch off the dock, and we enjoyed s'mores over the bonfire every night. Very close to anything you might need (Sutton's Bay for pharmacy, restaurants, groceries), hiking, Sleeping Bear Dunes, wineries, etc. Highly recommend. We had 5 adults and 4 kids and was perfect for us.

Gorgeous home - couldn’t imagine anything better. Location was incredible, plenty of space for the whole crew to spread out. Pictures don’t do this place justice... It’s huge, and right on the water.

My family has been coming to the Leland area since I was a little girl and love the area. Now our children and grandchildren come with us. This house is the perfect setting on Lake Leelanau. The house is roomy and well equipped. The upper and lower decks and docks, great to be out on. Three bathrooms was wonderful so that each of our children's family had their own bathroom. Even though the weather was a bit chilly this year it was one of our favorite places that we have stayed.

I'm not sure how many good things I should say about this home as I hope to rent it again in the future! My family owned a summer cottage a few doors down from the Stanton's for over 50 years so I was looking for a vacation home close to where ours was (we sold ours about 5 years ago). This home had everything we were looking for in a great floorpan for families. We had 6 adult children with us and having the bedrooms split off was wonderful. I do wish to give credit to the caretaker since we realized that the hot water tank on the bunk bed side of the home was not working. He came out to the house on Sunday afternoon and saw the problem and came back on Monday, July 4th (a holiday!) and fixed it. Timing was perfect as we had two more children arriving that evening so many thanks and much appreciation to him and his willingness to take care of us and make sure our stay was a good one. The weather was fabulous and we enjoyed most of our days on the deck at the water and many nights around the fire pit just talking and watching the shooting stars. We even had "front row" seats to watch the fireworks going off across the lake! All in all, a wonderful family trip and one we hope to do more of. We all love Lake Leelanau and while we miss having our own cottage, the Stanton's home was a great choice for us!

We walked in and we're all surprised at how awesome the home was inside! Pictures do not do it justice...felt at home instantly and all had a blast!

Lots of seating inside and fully equipped with everything we needed except our clothes and food! We would return to this property in a flash!
