This family lakefront property has been in the Stanton family for four generations. The original log cabin was replaced in the early 1980s by an architect designed spacious house that can comfortably hold a crowd or be intimate enough for a small group. It is situated on a large lakefront lot on the eastern shore of North Lake Leelanau with private woods to the south and deck overlooking the lake. The sunsets are breathtaking. This house provides easy access to the water with a long pier andunique recreational dock with boat lift. Boat launch is just 1/2 a mile down the road from the house. We also enjoy the only private marina on the lake so guests can easily dock their boats, ski-dos or a pontoon boat (available for rental in Lake Leelanau). The lakefront area is safe and easy for swimming and the water is crystal clear. There is no sandy beach at our site, but Nedow's Beach is reachable by boat right across the lake. Sunny rear patio is great for windy days and is off the kitchen for easy outdoor cooking. There is a fire pit for lakefront campfires.
The house includes:
a large, comfortable master bedroom with private bath.
Guest bedroom with full size and semi-private full bath.
And two great bunk rooms with eight twin beds total and a full bath.
LARGE lake viewing living/dining room with seating for lots of people inside, not including all the outside areas for BBQ. The sunsets from the house are unimaginable.
The house is set up with quiet and social zones so kids and adults can enjoy the house and not be on top of each other. The Lake House is a one of a kind place that is rarely available for rental. You'll love it. We do.

    We had a fabulous week in this beautiful house. It's much bigger than the pictures show. The bunk rooms are in a separate wing with the pool table room so we adults actually had some quiet time. The kitchen is small but we survived and helped the local economy by eating out a lot. Do wish it wasn't a double bed. We moved one of the bunk mattresses to the floor to accommodate an adult. The decks and views are just beautiful. There are 3 full bathrooms which is not clear in the listing.

    This is a great cottage for a large group. It is like having two separate wings. This lets us put kids down for naps in a completely quiet space. The owner responds quickly to questions and makes sure the issues are resolved. Large outdoor area as well. Very quiet neighborhood. And of course the lake is spectacular.

    Loved the home layout and spectacular view from the dining area and deck. Easy checkin and excellent communication with the host. Home is better than the pictures show. Well-equipped kitchen, 2 grills, 3 kayaks. Special touches like lights/electric sockets for each bunk bed. Great pool table. Host warned us about swimmer’s itch this year and one of us got it. Home has a casual, vintage charm. Minor flaw that didn’t affect our stay: some windows don’t work. We loved it and hope to return!

    The house was perfect for the dynamic of our group of multiple families and kids. The area and house are the quintessential Leelanau experience. Biking into Leland or Lake Leelanau is an easy to moderate ride. I'm just guessing, but there are at least a dozen wineries within 15 minutes drive. The pictures of the inside do not do justice for how much space there is in the house. The house is well built and exterior is well cared for. We loved it and plan to come back in 2025.

    The sprawling nature of this lake house allows for a family to be very comfortable. Outdoor living accommodates a family, as well, with large decks and grassy areas. Well stocked and quiet. We had a couple questions for the owner and everything was taken care of promptly.

    We were overjoyed the minute we walked into this gorgeous home. The views are breathtaking. Everything that we could have possibly needed was provided. Our three kids and four adults all had a wonderful week.
