About this cottage rental

Our classic knotty pine cottage is waterfront on Lake Leelanau. It's at the end of the lane tucked between the cedar forest and clear stream. No through traffic, no shared front yard; a place where you truly feel on vacation. Perfect for your sunrise cup of coffee, or sunset glass of local wine you are sure to unwind in this beautiful waterfront location.

The cottage is comfortably furnished with an Up North flair featuring log furniture and numerous Up-North touches. The open floor plan, living room- kitchen is perfect for conversation, family meals and games.

There are three bedrooms, two full baths, and a popular outdoor shower, plus a large family room giving you lots of space to spread out.
The 1st bedroom and second bedrooms have queen beds, the 3rd bedrooms has a bunk with twin over double bed. Kids love the hand carved turtles and raccoons on their beds. The den has a futon couch/bed, TV, DVD player, bar and game table. The family room makes a nice mini-suite, or a great place for the kids to hang-out.

From the front deck we've seen turtles, otter, deer, grouse, and eagles. The shallow lake entry area is perfect for play. "Dark Skies" make this a fabulous place to watch for meteor showers and Northern Lights (we've seen both many times) The dock has room for your boat or make it your private fishing pier. Our area of the lake is popular with the fisherman who know the good spots.. Two kayaks and a canoe are included for a quiet morning paddle. Serve meals on the old-style pine picnic table and choose between charcoal grill or gas flat top, making outdoor cooking a pleasure. Retire to the oversize hammock to read a book or take a nap. When it's time to clean up head for the outdoor shower with dressing area. The perfect end to an upnorth day is around the campfire where stories are told and marshmallow S'mores are the traditional treat.

Location, Waterfront on your own secluded lane, just five minutes drive south of Lake Leelanau. Easily day trip to Leland, Northport, Suttons Bay, Empire or Glen Arbor for unique shopping and restaurants.

The Hideout is at the heart of Wine Country with many personal favorites within 5 minutes. Sleeping Bear Dunes is a short drive and stunning Lake Michigan sunsets at Good Harbor Beach are free everyday just 10 minutes away.

Our dock is available for your boat and there is generous parking for your boat trailer. The boat launch is less than 1 mile from our cottage.

We will have tourism information at the cottage on arrival. If you have specific planning needs please contact us in advance.

Spacious rustic cabin with lots of privacy.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
Picturesque to say the least- best kept secret… cabin on the lake. Beautiful mornings and mystifying autumn nights by the campfire! The best part of it all, was that the hosts provided all of the necessities that many don’t ( we just bring our own because of past experiences), including a nice bag if chocolate:).We will definitely be a repeat visitor. If you want to immerse with nature and the Leelanau peninsula… this is your place!

We absolutely loved staying here for our anniversary weekend. So well maintained and being right on the water was a dream. The hosts provided so many different games and activities for us to partake in! From the board games, to kayaking, a fire pit, and even binoculars for bird watching we never had a dull moment. The cabin was 15-20 minutes away from so many amazing spots but we easily could have stayed at the cabin and never gotten tired of it. I can’t say enough good things about Lou and Diana. We will definitely be back!

I stayed at this house with my fiancée the week leading up to our wedding, which was just a few miles up the street. It was truly the perfect little "hideout" for us and allowed us as much relaxation as possible when trying to execute a wedding in the midst of a pandemic. Diana & Lou were great about communication both before and during our stay. They even threw in a few little extras for as sort of a wedding gift. I would definitely stay here again and hopefully get to enjoy more of what it has to offer. Since it was a cold front weekend in September, our only water activities were short jaunts in the canoe. We were also able to enjoy the fire pit one evening.
