85' Private Beach on Grand Traverse Bay overlooking Lake Michigan

Spend a week relaxing on the shores of Grand Traverse Bay while watching the waves roll in from Lake Michigan.  Our fully furnished recently remodeled home is located at the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula, two miles from Grand Traverse Lighthouse and Museum.

This 1250 square foot three bedroom, two full bath cottage has ceramic floors in the kitchen, laundry, halls and bedrooms with granite counter tops in kitchen and baths.

Settle down in the oak floored dining room and living room while watching the flames dance in the gas log fireplace.  You can grill on the deck while listening to the waves as they gently slap against the beach.

The front of the house has two sets of patios doors so you can sit inside and watch passing boaters on the Bay and freighters on the Great Lakes while sipping your morning coffee and viewing spectacular sunrises over the Bay.  There is 85' of private beach for you to enjoy. 

The master bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed, dresser, futon, and TV on all oak floors.  The attached master bath has new granite and double sinks and ceramic flooring.  The other two bedrooms have full size beds with a dresser on carpeted floors. 

The smoke-free house is located on a paved road in a private association which has tennis and basketball courts, three parks, excellent walking beaches and hiking trails. 

Bikes and a canoe are provided to let you experience your serene surroundings, or sit shoreside and enjoy the fire pit while watching the moonbeams glisten across the Bay. 

You are within 15 miles of the Leelanau Sands Casino, 35 miles from plenty of shopping in Traverse City.  Local towns of Suttons Bay and Leland are a short 20 minutes drive from your retreat. 

There are 12 wineries located on the peninsula which have daily wine tasting for your pleasure.  There is a FANTASTIC marina in Northport to launch your boat for all water activities. 

You can gold at the Leelanau Club of Bahl Farms.  Enjoy Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park on a day trip to the sunset shore of the peninsula.
