Gorgeous North Lake Leelanau frontage.

One mile south of Leland, Drake’s bluff is located in a premier location in Northern Michigan. This property sits on the breathtaking North Lake Leelanau in the heart of the Leelanau Peninsula. Enjoy 200 ft of frontage with 2 private docks and a private mooring located across the famous M22 road. Here, family and friends can enjoy swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, and a fire by the lake. Rent a boat nearby or bring your own to enjoy 20 miles of watersports, great fishing, boating North through the Leland river into Historic Fishtown(Leland), or boating South through the narrows into Lake Leelanau. Both towns offer docks to tie up where you can enjoy great food, shopping, wine tasting, ice cream, and in Leland walk the famous Van's beach on Lake Michigan.

This beautiful home is unique as it offers an amazing lake view showcasing Lake Leelanau’s gorgeous tree lined waters, sunrises in the morning from inside or on the deck, and shinning moon and stars at night. This home has ample outdoor space and seating to enjoy grilling out, yard games and a great bonfire area. There is also a large outdoor cedar shower and hammocks. Home features include: two separate living spaces that are connected, each have their own kitchen, bedrooms and living area. There are a total of 5 bedrooms and 3 baths, a stunning fireplace, and lots of windows to view the lake. In the shed and the storage box at the lake there are yard games, kids bikes, fishing poles, and water toys.

Included are two adult kayaks, one children’s kayak, and 2 paddle boards for your use. We provide 4 adult life jackets and 2 children’s life jackets.

This great location on the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail is just a short drive to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan, Traverse City, Northport, Sutton's Bay, and Glen Arbor to enjoy all of the wonderful attractions that the area offers.

We provide towels and bed linens. Please bring your own beach towels. *We do remove the docks from the water and shut the outdoor shower down Oct. 10th - May 25.

Please note our rental week runs Friday to Friday during peak summer season. 7 day minimum stay. 3 day minimum stay in off peak season.

Really enjoyed the large deck and firepit area. Ample seating in both places and eating breakfast and having coffee on the deck was fantastic! Wonderful views of the lake!

Beautiful house
We had a great time! Shuffleboard was very popular (it needs a new bottle of sand though). Also the pictures online of the front yard/deck don't do it justice, it has an amazing view of the lake! We thought having to walk down some stairs and cross a road to get to the water would be inconvenient but the overlook from the house we got in exchange was definitely worth it.

Great spot with great views of Lake Leelanau and close to Leland!
We had a fantastic time at this property for the week. The property is as advertised. We enjoyed the fire pit every night and the amazing views. The location being so close to Leland is fantastic. It is a little difficult getting down to the dock and the lake (have to be careful crossing the road), but the lake is amazing.

Would come back!
This house was perfect for our family - bikes, games, chalk for the kids, a large number of water toys, and plenty of space for the 9 of us to spread out as needed. Like others say, crossing M-22 takes care, but wasn’t a big deal for us! Loved sitting on the deck, going for early morning kayaks…and Leland is just a mile up the road. Also - really appreciated the abundance of outdoor chairs, always enough seating for everyone. Just an FYI that the property doesn’t provide beach towels - this was a bit awkward for us as we were flying in from out of state, so had to buy them. Not a deal breaker by any means, more just helpful to know! All in all a great space and one we would love to return to.

Short Stay for wedding at Aurora Cellars
We enjoyed our short weekend stay to attend a wedding. The bedding in addition to the linens was in place as per the photos. All was clean and inviting inside the house. The expansive new deck was awesome. The Drakes Bluff sign was not in place when we arrived and hopefully this is remedied for future guests. We did not use the Propane BBQ or kayaks during our stay however they were in place. We would stay there again for a multi family lodging.

The house is well maintained and easily accommodated our group of 16 adults. The deck over looks the water, but you do have to cross a road and go down several steep steps to get to it. The bonfire area was fantastic. Definitely would consider renting here again if we’re in the area.

Awesome house and location!
House was huge! Plenty of room for 11 adults and teens. The second living space with its own kitchen was great to have for the older kids. Beautiful yard with an amazing view of the lake. You have to cross the street to access the private dock, house came with 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards and a few other water toys that were great to have. Leland was a very short (2 min) drive, as was Sutton's Bay (10min). So much to do in this area, and the house was perfectly located to farms, wineries, golf, everything you want when staying up here! Host was quick to answer any questions and made for such a wonderful stay. Highly recommend this house!

Great House!
I stayed here for a week with my whole family (6 adults and 4 kids). The house came as advertised. Really enjoyed the dual family room/kitchen. Paddleboards and kayaks were easily accessible by the lake and shuffleboard table was a great addition! The owner and management company were quick to respond to any needs or questions.

Beautiful lake property
This is a great house for a large family. The bedroom situation is great, but you do have to walk thru one of them to get to the back 2 bedrooms so you might want to put your early risers there ! All the beds & pillows are very comfy. The kitchen is a bit small, but very well stocked. Great dock with dining and gorgeous view of the lake. Awesome fire pit which we enjoyed every night. The house a little worn - could use a little updating. The lake is down a long flight of steps and across a busy road so not ideal, but we made it work. Lake Leelanau is gorgeous - the area is great for restaurants & wineries, taking the boat to Fishtown was one of our highlights! Communication with Jodie was great - she always responded very quickly.

Lovely home on Lake Leelanau in Awesome location
We love our stay at Drake's Bluff! The home is perfectly situated just minutes from Fishtown, with a beautiful view of Lake Leelanau. The amenities of the home were perfect - we used the paddleboards and the kayaks, played with the bags set and some of the toys at the house, used the grill and cooked in the kitchen, even showered in the outdoor shower each day! The layout of the home is ideal for 2 families as the house was converted from 2 units into 1, so there are two "separate living areas" in the home, but with plenty of large communal space as well. As others have mentioned, crossing M-22 to the docks can be a little dicey as the road crossing is on a somewhat blind curve with cars moving quickly through there, but this wasn't a huge drawback for us. Overall a 5-star property!

Vacation
This is our second summer vacation to northern Michigan/sleeping bear dunes area. We had a very nice trip. We have 3 teenagers and also traveled with a nephew and grandparents. Positives- great location close to downtown Leland and only 10 minutes drive to Sutton bay , 15 minutes to north port, 25 minutes to glen arbor. Lake lelanenau was gorgeous and not crowded. We felt like we had lake to ourselves. We rented a jet ski for the week and a boat for 3 days . Highly recommend doing this for teens. House was clean with two big screen TVs and a indoor shuffleboard. Dock was well stocked with kayaks and paddle boards, life vests. Driveway space was big enough for us to put up a pickle ball court (full size). Jodie was great and easy to work with. Gas grill with extra propane tanks was appreciated. Two full refrigerators as well. Downsides- have to cross a busy road to get to lake/dock. This was not super clear in on line listing. Kitchen is a little small for a larger group. House layout has second upstairs kitchen and one of the bedrooms has to be walked thru to get to the others. Overall a great week and highly recommend.

Family getaway
This was a great location for our family gathering. Lots of great outdoor space. M22 is a busy road along the front but we were able to cross it and get to and from the water without a problem. Must be able to climb steps to access the water in front of the house. Not easy water access for smaller children as have to be able to jump off dock or climb down ladder. Beautiful views of the water out the large windows. Kitchen and dining area was a little cozy but when the weather was good there was an easy option to use the deck space. Property manager is very responsive. Overall exceeded our expectations.

Gorgeous getaway
Amazing location with a stunning view of Lake Leelanau. Back deck and side yard provided ample space outdoors. Plenty of offstreet parking. Comfortable beds. One bedroom (the smallest one) is wonky - it’s the only way to the back of the house; other option is to go outside to enter a back slider. Was no problem for our group but could be a hassle depending on number and composition of the group reserving this great property. Overall VERY pleased and highly recommended!
