The Heart of the Village
About this condo rental
Situated in Northport, this attractive condo for $180 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. This studio apartment in the heart of Northport is within walking distance to everything you'll need. Two bar/restaurants and a boutique bowling alley are across the street and within one block you'll find a public beach on Northport Bay, the public marina, a grocery store, an additional restaurant, quaint shops, the post office, a bank, and a craft beer brew pub. This is the perfect place to experience life in a small town! Additionally, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, boats, bicycles and other summer fun items are available from a rental business located next door. Enjoy your water sports in the bay (a half a block away) and bike around town or down many of the scenic roads in the area. (Which is pretty much all of them!) On the Northwest corner of the village is the Northport Creek Golf Course, winner of the Golf Digest 2015 Green Star Award. It is a public, 35 par course designed by Jerry Matthews. The Willowbrook Mill wedding venue is just two blocks away. The apartment is tucked away down a hill and behind a garage at the back of the property and can't be viewed from the street. East facing windows provide beautiful sunrises with partial views of Northport Bay. Please keep in mind that being in the center of town may occasionally mean hearing some of the hustle and bustle that comes with village life. (Although we have very considerate neighbors!) For example, on Friday evenings throughout the summer, the "Music in the Park" performances, which play genres such as jazz and folk music among others, can be heard from on the property. Performances end at 9:00pm. Sit out in the yard and enjoy the music, or grab the totable lawn chairs provided and head down to the gazebo at the park to enjoy the music with the rest of the community. The area around Northport is known for scenic vistas of Grand Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan, orchards, vineyards and natural areas.

Perfect spot for those that don’t enjoy large crowds! Quiet and cute little neighborhood and still plenty to do on a cold windy rainy weekend. Lots of wine tasting! Only thing we would have enjoyed more was a TV to watch the U of M game! The pub closes at 9 in the fall! Other than that it was perfect. Clean and Karen was very attentive! We would love to come back some day!

Our stay was awesome! Karen made everything so easy from check-in to providing welcome snacks and even a copy of the children's book she has authored!! The place was simple, very clean, and spacious.

Karen's place is exactly as advertised..although even a little better due to all of the nice touches that she leaves for you. The studio was spacious and absolutely spotless. She had left treats for our arrival and beach towels, beach chairs and a foam cooler which made beach going much easier! You can literally walk to every single thing in Northport from the house. It has everything you need for a couple to stay and enjoy Northport. We would definitely return. Highly recommend.

Although we only stayed for a short weekend, it didn’t take long to see that this is a perfect little getaway spot. Not only was the property beautiful and the rental super clean, but you really are within walking distance to anything you might need during your stay. Cherry on top was meeting the owners’ dog, Lily - so adorable! Would stay here again!

The property was super clean, the host was friendly and it is in the perfect location if you like being in town. We are active types of people, and like being in a town to walk around and then be able to drive to an excursion and this was a great spot as a homebase. We drove to Leland one day and took the ferry to South Manitou Island to do a long hike. The next day we drove to the Platte River and tubed the river and did pyramid point hike on the way. Perfect quick getaway spot!

Perfect apartment for my husband and me! It was exactly as we hoped for, and more! Karen's hospitality and thoughtfulness were that "more", and we appreciate it very much. We spent 3 nights in Northport, most of the days biking, hiking, and exploring the area. But in the evening, we had everything we needed in the apartment to relax and get a good rest. Apartment was super clean, everything in it was working smoothly. Apartment is tucked in behind the house - at a great location, short walking distance from the restaurants, cafes, park, marina, beach. Summers in Northern Michigan are magical, with warm days, pretty beaches, refreshing Lake Michigan waters, great biking and hiking trails, farms, orchards, vineyards, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and above everything - great people! Northport's Friday farmers market was great, as well as music in the park in the evening (picnic chairs provided in our apartment were put to good use). Even beach towels were provided...in case you forgot yours. Overall - great place to stay! We enjoyed every minute of our vacation.

We have been visiting the village of Northport for about 15 years. This year was made extra special by staying in this studio in the center of the village. We enjoyed being within walking distance of the shops, galleries and restaurants. Even though we were in the center of everything, it seemed very quiet and private, located behind the hosts personal residence with a glimpse of the bay. Karen was a wonderful host. We appreciated the extra snacks, little boxes of cereal and chocolates that were provided. The studio was very clean and Karan checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We will stay again in the future.
