Rustic Log Cabin Retreat across from Lake Leelanau

Beautiful area! The house was expansive, beds were comfortable! So many things to do in the area. I did think the home had a hot tub from my filters but there was jetted tubs inside. My sisters took note of the property to maybe book in future for there families

Great private space for family. Enjoyed outdoor space for kids. Convenient location for r access to lots of activities. Thanks so much!

The property is beautiful, the house was very clean, we loved having the lake across the street and rented kayaks and paddle boards, most everyone headed there after the day's activities.. I appreciated the huge kitchen and all the seating for meals, inside and out! The biggest problem is that this big beautiful house does not have enough bathrooms for 14 people, let alone the 20 beds it holds. We worked around it but one of our teenagers commented that at the very least a port-a-potty at the edge of the deck would have been nice. He was being silly but it was the only fly in the oinment.

We had a great stay at Mark’s home! A lot of space for games and activities indoors and outside. Mark was great with communication and more than generous with feedback and requests. Would definitely recommend!

We enjoyed location. Thought we would be able to enjoy water right across the street, but the narrow walk path and very narrow dock made it unsafe to take our babies which was not suitable for swimming anyway. Positive things...Mark was attentive to my texts. Bedrooms were nice size and comfortable. Negatives...no air conditioning! Guess we just thought that would be equipped. Most windows and doors did not have screens. No cross ventilation. Made us all a bit cranky and irritable. House is dated for sure and could use a good cleaning. Nice size house for our family but wished we had done more research.

Mark was very clear and prompt with his communication. Check-in process was seamless. The property was magnificent. Had a huge game room, great property outside to play yard games, and everything you would need to BBQ. Highly recommend his property for family and friend get togethers!

Our family, always including a few friends, was a group of about 12 with ages 4-80’s. There are indoor/outdoor spaces where our entire family can congregate, along with large bedrooms allowing plenty of privacy. The young people especially enjoyed the large game room and basketball court. On a rainy day, we gathered around the large dining room table for an art day. The outdoor grills were perfect for dinners. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking with generous stocked items. There is no need for me to bring my favorite cookware, crockpot or extra coffee pots. The house is in a very convenient location for everything from Traverse City to Northport. The owner is available for all communication and seems eager for everyone to enjoy their time in his home. We heartily recommend this lovely “cabin”.

Excellent location in the heart of the Leelanau peninsula. So much to see and explore within 5-25 minutes. Our family had as many as 17 there at one time and had plenty of space. We did need to navigate the 2.5 baths, but managed that ok. House is in good shape. We made great use of the deck and sports court. The kids enjoyed the game room. This was an ideal house and location for our family retreat.

We recently stayed here with our children and 9 grandchildren. The home had everything and more that we needed for our stay. The table games and basketball court were a plus. Location to Vans Beach, Fish Town, Suttons Bay and the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes were a plus. Mark was an excellent host and very responsive to all our questions. I would highly recommend this beautiful log home.

We had a wonderful time. Close to Traverse City and other small towns, plus beach. Cute restaurants that could accommodate all 16 of us. House only has 2.5 bathrooms, which required scheduling. Pressure sometimes an issue. Kids loved basketball court and game garage .
