The historic Wheeler Cottage, a cherished local landmark on Warden’s Point, North Lake Leelanau, was built over 115 years ago (circa 1907) and sits on nearly 4 acres. Our cottage was one of the earliest cottages built by a prominent businessman named Warden on the east side of Lake Leelanau and could only be accessed by steamboat at the time The property boasts a verdant landscape of tall maple and cottonwood trees, lush grounds, and flower gardens. The Cottage faces west, offering stunning sunsets and over 360 feet of prime Lake Leelanau frontage with full dock access.
Constructed from local natural materials, the spacious Wheeler Cottage is approximately 5,000 square feet and features a foundation of large field rocks formed by ancient glaciers, with interiors crafted from wild cherry and maple woods. Most of the original maple furniture, now considered collectors' items, remains in the Cottage along with modern furnishings for comfort.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
The house was very comfortable for our extended family. Plenty of sleeping space and relaxation areas. Enough bathroom space for our 14. Well stocked kitchen. Terrific laundry/entry are to drop all our bags of supplies.The best part of the property is the outside! The trees are spectacular!!! 120 year old poplars line the lake’s edge and dot the yard along with beautiful flower beds and other mature trees. Sitting outside was magnificent!!! Cool breezes, just the best. Our young children played their hearts out for hours. They claim that was their favorite part of the trip! Playing in the huge yard. Everything was pretty perfect.The only change I’d like to see is some brightening in the living room. Possibly some better lighting and lighter colors in the decor to give the room a little lift. It’s very brown. Otherwise, rent this grande dame. She’s a stunner!

The best family vacation at the Wheeler cottage on Lake Leelanau! I loved watching the kids run around on the lawn and taking advantage of the open space, our boat rides and quiet mornings on the lake and evenings around the bonfire. What a dream.

Nice, roomy, and well stocked kitchen. Loved that we were right on the lake!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
The yard and fire pit area were fantastic. We had 8 adults and 6 grandchildren and we played kick ball, volleyball and a variety of yard games and really used the grounds a lot. Having the pontoon right our front was nice but there was not a beach for the kids to play and swim at the house. The lack of air conditioning was somewhat uncomfortable. We used the laundry the water has a lot of iron in it and stained some of the clothes. Overall we had a good stay with family...
