About this cottage rental
The cottage sits 150 feet above Lake Michigan with views of the Manitou and Fox Islands. 700 feet of frontage and very few neighbors afford an unusual degree of privacy and solitude. A winding path down to the lake leads to miles of shoreline perfect for Petoskey stone and agate hunting, swimming, kayaking, and relaxation.
The cottage has a wide covered deck that is the perfect spot to lounge: read, eat, watch a breathtaking sunset or storm clouds fly in from the west, star gaze or dream. There is an eagle's nest nearby and regular flybys. Track and identify freighters sailing through the Manitou Passage by phone app!
There is a second patio under the porch with comfy lounge chairs for a quiet respite.
You are close to everything that is Leelanau County: wineries, restaurants, beaches, the Sleeping Bear Dunes, golf, hiking, and the best road biking in the Midwest..... but you may never want to leave this spot. It is perfect for those who want to get away from it all and UNPLUG (no wifi, spotty cell). And still only 3 miles from the village of Northport.
From June 15 to Sept 1, the rental is 6 day minimum starting Sundays. For the rest of the time, there is a 2or 3 day minimum. There is also a fee if you have a dog.
There is no wifi or cable. No TV. Cell service can be spotty. There are fans in each bedroom . There are puzzles, games, and books available. Yard games too.
The path is 15 stories up and down, winding and narrow in places. It takes about 5 minutes to go down and 8 minutes to go up. You need to be in reasonable shape to navigate.
Note for guests with young children or for guests that have mobility issues, this cottage may not be right for you. The bathroom is in between the living floor and the bedroom floor (7 steps up/down). The trail down to the beach is like a hiking trail in a state park. If you have to carry your child, it is quite a trek. If you are content to be on the deck for the beautiful views and to venture off to nearby playground and parks, this cottage can work for you.

Not only an extraordinarily eclectic and beautiful property, but one with very warm and positive energy. We had a wonderful visit

Our second visit to this lovely cabin in the woods and we brought the kids this time. They loved climbing up and down the path to the “rock beach” while we took in the incredible views from the porch. Many hours spent playing board games and lounging on the well-appointed main level, while the bedrooms downstairs were clean and comfortable. Cabin was stocked with everything we needed and host Kate was very communicative and helpful. Also a great location for exploring the cute surrounding towns. Hope to come back again soon!

The word that seems best to describe is “magical”Not only one of the most spectacular views in Michigan but in the US! When you walk in the front door the view will overwhelm you.Our time there will not be soon forgotten and we are already planning a return visit.

This is a very special place to unplug and decompress. The deck and lake views are unmatched! So peaceful and serene.
