Northport, Michigan
Relax, unwind and recharge on Grand Traverse Bay at Blue Calm.
Prepare to be overcome with a sense of calm and peace at first glimpse of Lake Michigan’s inviting turquoise waters during your stay at Blue Calm.
Down the winding wooded drive, the cabin awaits. Beyond, faint sounds of gentle waves caressing the beach frontage can be heard. Stunning sunrise displays of every color in the rainbow greet the dawn. Tranquil waters call for carefree beach days, kayaking or paddle boarding (one of each available), perhaps towards Northport’s renowned Gull Island. Curl up on a beach hammock for a relaxing nap or
escape to the front deck to read in sunny solitude. Enjoy a backyard picnic, savoring local farmers market finds and meals off the gas grill. Unwind with a newfound local wine or brew under the covered lakeside deck on the porch swing for two. After a full day, gaze up to nighttime skies to see the stars as never before while roasting marshmallows atop the campfire. Finally, be lulled into a restful slumber to
recharge to the subtle chirp of crickets and light waves. And repeat.
Springtime 2023 brings additional new features to Blue Calm, most notably the newly updated Living Room space. Up to 7 guests are welcomed at the non-smoking property with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and open concept main living area. The master bedroom features a king sized bed with a newly added TV. Full bath, laundry room, kitchen and dining areas round out the first floor with the crown jewel being the Great Room, where turquoise waters beckon through the double sliding glass doors. The second floor houses two bedrooms: the queen room sits lakefront while the bunk room (with full over full bed plus a twin trundle) also features a lake view. Upstairs bedrooms share a 3/4 bath with sitting loft. A TV is provided in the Great Room for local channel viewing or logging in to your favorite app. Guests are invited to unplug and explore Up North as internet speeds are often not suited for streaming on multiple devices or hot days.
In effort to preserve this majestic haven of respite, owners make a concerted effort to be ecologically responsible. From non-toxic cleaning products to recycled paper products and cloth alternatives when available, onsite recycling and composting, Blue Calm strives to minimize its environmental impact.
The log cabin is central to Northern Michigan’s abundance of wineries, restaurants,
hiking/biking/running trails, boating, casino’s and more! Blue Calm is situated within a 10 minute drive of downtown Northport & Suttons Bay and about 45 minutes of Traverse City & the Nationally acclaimed Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Cabin was clean but had to deal with fruit flies. ( that time of year) When walking across the floor sounds like bubble wrap. The cabin was well appointed. The view was amazing. It was close to many villages but still private. Outside space with firepit overlooking the Bay was our favorite. Plus found four Petoskey stones. They also need a larger coffee pot that works. But on the whole a very nice stay.
This is the 3rd year staying at Blue Calm and each year improvements are made on an already restful location. The owners are very easy to communicate with and quickly respond to any questions we have. One thing that I personally love is that inside you have all of the comforts of home, and outside is almost like camping with a sandy lot and nice firepit, hanging hammocks and water toys.
Lovely, quiet, woodsy cottage on heavenly Northport Bay. Will definitely be back.
Very calm and relaxing with that view! Close to town and close to a few local wineries.
My family and I loved staying at Blue Calm. It was exceptionally clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The property and house were beautiful. We would certainly consider returning to this location.
The house is located in a peaceful, secluded area just south of Northport. We really enjoyed our stay, the place was clean, organized and had everything we needed. Perfect for our family of four!
Beautifully renovated cabin (especially the bathrooms) in a very nice setting.
We have been coming to Leelanau for several years, and this place was our favorite that we have stayed at over the years by far. The property is a great blend of rustic and updates, and its location on the water nestled in between downtown Suttons Bay and Northport, is nothing short of incredible.
This space is the perfect place for a quiet fall get away. The home interior was clean and disinfected prior to arrival. For a summer escape it is nice and shady to keep you cool. Right on the Grand Traverse Bay with beautiful view of the sunrises. The outside is rustic with a camping feeling. So, camping only with a nice house. We will come back next year for sure! Beware the camping atmosphere includes poison ivy and dirty sand yard. We brought our two medium sized dogs and they loved it too.
Had a great time. Near town but far away enough away to enjoy peace and quiet.
