Quiet location on the west shore of spectacular 21 mile long, Lake Leelanau

100 ft of frontage on the sandy west side of South Lake Leelanau. Non smoking home with 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, large modern kitchen, 380 sq ft game/family room, large deck to watch the sunrise while sipping your morning beverage. Beds include one queen size, two doubles, one single upper bunk, and a pack-n-play. Please bring your own linens (blankets are provided) and towels. There is a child seat that will secure to a dining chair or stool for meals. Washer and dryer on premises, laundry soap included.
150 foot private dock for your boating use and swimming pleasure. Extremely family friendly waterfront firm sandy bottom, and crystal clear water. Lake depth gradually increases to 3.5 feet over the length of the dock (130 ft). During the sunny daytime relax in the shade of two great maple trees at the shore. In the evenings enjoy sitting around the firepit with family and friends.
We have plenty of room at our private dock for you to tie up your boat and a large grassy lot behind the house for play and park your boat trailer. There are two boat launches within 2.5 miles.
The house is central to many attractions (20 Minutes or so);
Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, Leeland, Suttons Bay, Traverse City, Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, Port Onida National Park, shopping at the Village at Grand Traverse, and local cideries, breweries, and wineries.
Closer to home:
Drive your boat north 8 miles to the Narrows to dock at the Boathouse Vineyards, or walk less than a mile up the hill to Bel Lago Vineyard and Winery. Closer still is the farm stand where you can buy fresh eggs and veggies.

Great Weekend!!
Ok the location is great, sandy bottom in lake - very long dock but that was fine - very clean, super cute house with lots of things to cook with (pots, pans, bowls, etc.) Everything was great!! Could have used a pot holder as we used the oven but we made do with a towel. When you say no linens, wow!! Not even a hand towel but lots of paper towels and we did find some leftover towels/washcloths but make sure you don’t forget beach towel AND shower towels. We gave it 4 stars because when we were eating lunch outside on the beautiful deck (great umbrella too!) a guy pulled up on a lawn mower and asked if he could mow. We didn’t feel like we could say no and when asked how long, he said an hour. Ummm okayyyy? Then he said 30 minutes. So we had to take all our food inside and we couldn’t sit outside and hear each other. Oh and the seating situation is not great in the game room (which is so nice - this place is SUPER family friendly which we loved even though we don’t have littles) but the couch and red chair are super uncomfortable. We weee able to have a movie night though and that was great! Otherwise, very nice place! Thanks so much!

Perfect location!
I have stayed on the Leelanau Peninsula for over 30 years, but never on Lake Leelanau. I have to say, I completely underestimated it! It is beautiful, warm, and clean! The house was small but had everything we needed, and the neighbors were great. Lots of doggy fun too!

Location Was My Primary Reason!
Awesome , Awesome and Awesome! I rented this property as a surprise for my wife. Vineyards check , Rock hunting Heaven check , Lake access right in the backyard check. Just an absolute relaxing getaway. I will have no problem renting the same property with Terry Steller again, already looking for dates for next summer. We brought our kayaks and had a wonderful time. Thanks again Terry!
