Prepare to be wrapped in calm the moment you glimpse Lake Michigan’s inviting turquoise waters during your stay at Blue Calm.

Follow the winding, wooded drive to your private log cabin retreat. Listen closely and you’ll hear gentle waves brushing the shoreline. At dawn, the sky erupts in rainbow hues over the water. Spend your days drifting between carefree beach time, leisurely kayaking or paddleboarding (one of each provided), or even paddling toward Northport’s famous Gull Island. Unwind in the beach hammock with a peaceful nap or retreat to the sunny front deck with a good book. Enjoy backyard picnics featuring farmers market finds and meals off the gas grill. At day’s end, sip a local wine or craft brew beneath the covered lakeside deck on the cozy porch swing for two. Then gather around the campfire to roast marshmallows beneath a star-studded sky before drifting to sleep to the soft chorus of crickets and waves.

And repeat.

Eco-Conscious Commitment: To protect this remarkable lakeside haven, Blue Calm emphasizes environmentally responsible practices: non-toxic cleaning products, recycled or cloth alternatives when available, on-site recycling and composting, and overall efforts to minimize environmental impact.

    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.

    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!

    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.
