Above Lk. Michigan, Leland, sunsets, wifi, ac, spa

Viewtopia is your dream vacation getaway, situated high on a wooded bluff with sweeping, uninterrupted sunset water views of Lake Michigan, the Manitou and Fox Islands, Whaleback and Pyramid Points. Reminiscent of a National Park lodge, relax in the hot tub of this majestic log home after a day spent enjoying activites and outdoor natural beauty. Nearby Good Harbor Beach in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park offers swimming and combing the sandy beach for rocks and shells. Your water activity dreams will come true with nearby rentals of paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, boats, other water equipment, and bicycles. Charter fish in Lake Michigan for salmon, lake trout, and white fish or take the ferry out to visit one of the islands in the National Park. Plentiful hiking and biking trails are available throughout the area. Leland, Glen Arbor, Suttons Bay, and Traverse City are within an easy drive and offer upscale resort shopping, art, music and film festivals, dining, casinos, golf and mini-golf. Wineries and breweries abound with available tours as well as plays and concerts in Traverse City and Interlochen Music School. Local restaurants feature live music if you prefer your concerts while dining.

With large view windows and skylights, you will be warmly welcomed with bright interiors in this four-bedroom home upon entry. Happy cooks will love preparing grand meals and picnic lunches in the sophisticated and fully equipped kitchen with plentiful prep space, stainless steel and gas appliances, and a full dining room. Grill provides the perfect outdoor opportunity for meals on the multiple decks, equipped with 2 picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, and 4 reclining spa loungers. Relax with a good book near the large stone wood-burning fireplace, curl up on the comfortable furniture while hosting movie marathons or sports games on the large screen TV. Enjoy friendly competition on the foosball table, with books, puzzles, and board games available for pleasure. Two bedrooms feature private balconies. Referred to by guests as a “Photographer’s Paradise,” memories that will last a lifetime are yours to make at Viewtopia on the shores of Lake Michigan.

One dog under 35 pounds welcome.

Great location
This is a quality built log cabin with lots of space and a wonderful country feel. Kitchen equipment and utensils are complete and generous. The views of the lake are stunning, but note, because of the shabby conditions of the landscaping, we were looking through the bushes and trees. The views presented at the website was not legit. That view is from the upper bedroom not the main deck.

Perfect for family reunion
This was perfect for us. We had 9 people and there was plenty of room. The view was spectacular and the location was great. 10 minutes from Leland and roughly 20 to Glen Arbor. One thing to note is that there are a LOT of stairs in this home. Good to know if you have guests that may struggle with that.
