Charming cottage with shared beachfront on Grand Traverse Bay near Northport.

Prime summer requires a 3-night minimum.

Enjoy this cozy cottage with access to 400' shared frontage on West Grand Traverse Bay. Two quaint bedrooms and one bathroom with wood floors and an enclosed porch. The enclosed porch is a perfect area to dine or simply relax. Outside, enjoy the picnic table and charcoal grill for dining outdoors. Enjoy the spacious grounds and shared beach area. Water access is just across the yard. (You do not have to cross a road.)

This is a wonderful central location for exploring all the best of Leelanau. Lots of fun is available in Northport during the summer, including the Northport Wine & Craft Beer Festival, Leelanau UnCaged, the Northport Dog Parade, and fireworks on the Fourth of July. Northport is only 4 miles from the house.

One pet is allowed. Guests, please clean up after pets.

Weekend getaway
The cottage looks exactly like the photos. It is small but very cute on the inside. We loved the screened in porch and the short walk to the beach that is on the property. It was very clean upon arrival. It probably could use some updates but we loved that there was a grill for the cottage and chairs to be outside.

Quiet and peaceful. Short walk past the other cabins down a small slope to the beach on the lake. Fire pit on the beach and chairs, and a shallow and sandy entry to the are perfect for swimming. Close to downtown Northport.

Cute place and surrounding towns
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cozy cottage with all you'll need to have an enjoyable getaway. Having the enclosed porch was fantastic for having morning coffee while the sun is coming up across the bay. The size is perfect for 2 adults. Many more than this, and it may get a bit cramped. The closest full-size grocery is in Northport, and there's a small country store in Omena Bay. Northport has more nice restaurants than Omena. Close-by Sutton's Bay looked nice, but we didn't visit. The beach is super nice and has a few chairs and a fire pit. Overall, we had a very lovely time, and I recommend this property for a getaway.

Very nice cottage.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a very nice time up there in August, 2017. Cottage was very clean and comfortable. Really appreciated how so many things were already provided such as paper plates, towels, bed linens, toiletries, different toys for my kids to enjoy. Really liked the enclosed front porch and the very short walk to get to the beach. I would go back again and definitely recommend this to anybody. The only thing I may do different next time is try to book Cottage #1 so we can get that direct water frontage.
