Charming Vintage Lakeside 4-bedroom Cottage

Magical property on Lake Leelanau comes with waterfront and dock with sandy bottom swimming area and raft and large lawn and outdoor areas. The cottage is a vintage charmer with four bedrooms-one oversized bedroom with a king, and three others with twin-beds in each. All bedrooms have individual air conditioners. There is a great-room style living, dining and sitting/working area with 1 gig internet and Orbi mesh Wi-Fi network, large smart tv with streaming, a porch with spectacular viewsof the lake containing both dining and sitting areas, as well as a separate playroom (with a separate Dish satellite TV and where we keep snorkel gear and other beach toys) off the classic but updated eat-in kitchen, including dishwasher and coffee bar. There is an outdoor grill by the kitchen side door. There is one full and one-half bathroom plus an outdoor shower. The lakeshore has a swimming area, dock with sitting area, kayaks and paddle boards (with life jackets for all by the laundry room), and swimming raft. Plenty of room to tie up a boat to the dock and a mooring for jet ski. On the shore is a sandy area with firepit-perfect for smores. There is parking for 4 cars and a laundry room in the separate garage building. You are within a mile of the village of Lake Leelanau and within a short drive of so many of NW Michigan’s finest attractions-Fishtown and Leland, Lake Michigan beaches, hiking trails, the Sand Dunes, Suttons Bay and Northport restaurants, many excellent Vineyards, breweries and tasting rooms, as well as Traverse City and Interlochen Arts Academy where you can hear and see performances by the talented music camp students.
This is very much a multi-generational area, and voices travel at night on the water, so we request quiet after 10 pm on weekdays and 11 pm on weekends. No smoking, large parties, indoor fires, candles, or pets (sorry). Stays are by the week with a one-week minimum.
There is an additional more rustic cabin available next door which sleeps 8 comfortably if you are planning a family reunion and need more space which can be rented separately.
