Northport, Michigan
Reservations must be a minimum of three nights.
This is amazing location is on stunning Cathead Bay on Lake Michigan in Northport. A beautiful guest cottage awaits you and is perfect for a cozy getaway. We recommend this for a maximum of two adults comfortably. There is a queen bed in the main room and the bedroom has bunk beds set up for children. The guest cottage is part of a larger property but does have its own entrance and privacy. There are some stairs up to the front door and a boardwalk to the beach.
Miles of beautiful Lake Michigan beach are just steps away. There is a shared catwalk from the cottage to the beach. Just kick off your shoes and sink your toes in the sand, and you will think you stepped into heaven. The most spectacular sunsets can be seen at this location. Sit out on the beach by the propane fire pit and enjoy the show! A private deck in back overlooks the Leelanau State Park. Many local hiking trails, parks, and beaches to explore. Easy drive to the villages of Northport or Leland for dining and shopping.
No pets allowed.

Beautiful and clean spot. Would definitely stay again in the future. I kept thinking I was in the Bahamas, not Michigan. The water and sand is so beautiful.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a guest house on a property where the owners live. They are wonderful hosts who are friendly and helpful, but give you your privacy. Well equipped kitchen, and owners have beach furniture for your use. The photos don't really capture the beauty. State park and hiking are adjacent to the property. It is a 10 minute drive to Northport and 20 minutes to Sutton's Bay or Leland, so a different vibe than places farther south. Just what we were looking for.
Peaceful getaway with options for anything you can imagine. Hours long walks on the beach rock hunting or a trip to Northport to shop, have ice cream or listen to live music! Or, read while listening to the waves of Lake Michigan lap the shore. You are only limited by your imagination!!
This experience was absolutely wonderful. The owners of the property could not be more accommodating and kind. The waterfront is absolutely beautiful and you feel like you have a beach all to yourself. If swimming and sitting on the beautiful sands of Lake Michigan is your thing, this is your place! We will definitely return!
The cottage was clean and cozy. The owners were friendly and generous. The beach was gorgeous and private. A fantastic getaway!! Would stay again in a heartbeat!!
I was very pleased with my stay at Sunset Beach Hideaway. The detail and cleanliness of the property is immaculate and the size was perfect for just me. You can't beat the sunsets and soft sand on Lake Michigan and the privacy of the area. I hope to return in the future!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time during our stay. The property is exactly as described and was very well stocked with everything we needed and more. The Cathead Bay Area it is located in is very peaceful with an awesome beach area and is surrounded by state park land. The owner of the property lives in the main house on the property and greeted us when we arrived. He was extremely friendly and shared lots of info about the area but was very respectful of our privacy as well. We definitely would recommend and plan on a return visit.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This beach location north of sleeping bear dunes is in my home state. I hesitate to tell you how good this place is because I want it ALL to myself. The room is charming and well laid out. I have already rebooked for two more visits. Cable everything is available. We used the gas grill easily. The kitchen is so well equipped I left two bags of things in the car once I arrived. There is no laundry facilities so bring enough paper towels, kitchen towels, and clothes for your comfort. The owners have beach chairs and tables on the beach and on the deck and are very kind and inviting. You never feel like you are intruding. The place was immaculate. The small room has a bunk bed but we were just two and it worked perfectly as a dressing room. The ten minute ride to the closest town and grocery means you need to think before you get out there, but the hiking, beach, and other places are just a bit away. 30 minutes to Traverse City and one day we drove the hour to catch the ferry to Mackinac Island. Love this place.

Only issues were, the coffee maker did not seem to work and an outlet in the kitchen also didn't work. There were quite a few fruit flies as well.

I will book this place again soon.
Beautiful and cozy cottage. Great location with lovely rides to several quaint beach towns. Unforgettable sunsets. Owner and his family very good people. And with that being said, still felt a wee bit awkward having to pass by them on the deck to get to beach. My problem, not theirs. Sad to leave !!
This place was great, clean, great location, and exceptional hosts. Sunsets on the bay cannot be beat!
My wife and I spend a long weekend up near Northport each summer. This is by far our favorite location we have stayed in the 20+ trips. Quiet and Clean accommodations. Host was great, stayed out of the way but made it clear he would accommodate if we had specific requests. I would highly recommend!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My experience at the hideaway cottage was very nice. The location was very beautiful on Lake Michigan. No fault of anyone, it was just a bad year on the beach do to those little dead fish that happens every 20 years. Other than that, the experience was very nice and I would do it again.
Wonderful hospitality
My husband and I just spent 3 wonderful days on Cathead Bay. This was our second choice after the first choice got booked (Thank Goodness!!!). By far, this was the better of the choices. The place was immaculate, the on-site owners were friendly and helpful, and the pictures do not do it justice. For a couple or a family of 4, this is the place. Not too small, not too big but just right. Never have we had a more relaxing vacation. The beach and lake are a small walk across the deck. The beach is expansive with almost no one on it (like having your own private beach). No noise pollution, no light pollution (bring your telescope!) and some of the best small stores and restaurants are just a short drive away. Can’t wait to reserve it again next year and will be staying longer.
