About this cottage rental

Good dogs are welcome smoking is not. Its minutes away from the National Lake Shore Park- Sleeping Bear Dunes. Traverse City is minutes to its popular West side activities. It is a unique two bedroom cottage filled with natural light and wonderful panoramic views of Power Island, Old Mission Peninsula, white caped waves, fishing and vintage sailing schooners sailing by and fantastic unforgettable moon lit waters. There are two bedrooms with one full bath on the second floor and a half bath and bedroom on the main level. The stairway leads to a bridge on the second floor that connects the master bedroom to the sky lit bathroom and walk in closet. The laundry is located in the basement. Although a mere five minutes from downtown, the large shaded yard facing the water, offers privacy that seems farther away. The location is literally surrounded by northern attractions; wine tasting is within walking distance as is the bike path that connects Traverse City to Sutton's Bay. There are a number of light houses to visit. Northport lighthouse is 25 miles north on M-22, and Old Mission is located on the end of the same peninsula, visible from the cottage.
The cottage has West Bay shared access suitable for swimming and launch site for small boats. The use of a mooring ball is available. Power Island is a favorite distant boating destination. There are many nearby parks and beaches as well.
You can cook meals in the fully equipped kitchen or grill out on a large deck overlooking flower beds, a landscaped yard and Traverse City's West Bay. After dinner, relax, sip wine and watch the moon rise over the beautiful ever changing water. This cottage has been featured in Traverse The Magazine and Northern Express paper as well as other publications. It is close to all that the Grand Traverse area and Leelanau County have to offer. The cottage has central air conditioning. Wireless internet is provided as well as basic television and roku.

We totally enjoyed our stay. Location was convenient to visiting many places. It was a busy road between us and lake with traffic noise, but we had no small children to worry about. The view was wonderful. The host was excellent and very accomodating.

This was a great place for us with beautiful views of the bay. We went down to the waterfront across the street several times a day to go rock hunting. The traffic is a heavy but not unmanageable. The host was welcoming and helped situate me to the house and to the area. I loved the decor. It was eclectic and the house was very comfortable. Perfect for me my three kids and two dogs. Great spot to do day trips and close to town for amenities. I woulddefinitely stay here again.
