Memorial and Labor Day weekends require three nights.

Unique round home with two levels. Located on a quiet side street, facing west for great sunsets. Dark night skies for star gazing and shooting stars. There are 39 steps to the beach stepping onto beautiful sandy frontage. Wow does it get any better than this!

Unique and Beautiful Location
Super unique and cute house. It was super warm inside even despite the high winds at night coming off the lake which was great. The interior had everything needed for a cozy stay, and was very dog friendly. The cleaning service could do a better job. There was dust all over the furniture and under the master bed it looked like it hadn’t been touched in a long time, my dog was obsessed with trying to clean up whatever was under it. Possible the place had sat empty for awhile before we stayed. Overall a great place for the value we paid in late October, with lots to do around the local area during color change. The biggest issue was the cleanliness when we arrived but it wasn’t bothersome enough to put a damper on the trip and we would return again. The outdoors was more overgrown then I’d expect for that area. Beware of ticks if you have a dog and go down to the beach, we found about 20 total on ourselves and our dog over the course of two days in late October from just one walk down to the beach. The stairs to the beach are a bit intense if you are not an able bodied adult as well. The outdoor grill is in rough shape with a couple burners that didn’t look function. We didn’t find out if it was as the propane tank was empty, but wasn’t too big of a deal as we just cooked inside instead. Overall it had a beautiful view of the lake, and if it was summer the beach itself would compensate for any other issues.

Great locations!
We enjoyed our visit and the location was great! Very disappointed with the water in the house, its smell horrible like a rotten-egg. We had to brush our teeth with bottle water. And the house need to be more clean. When we get there the dinning table and the counter so dusty!

Cozy dome home nestled in the forest!
The windows all across the front of the home made this cabin for me. The views of the forest and Lake Michigan were magical. The wood burning stove was such a treat in the evening. We lounged on the deck for hours. The kitchen was fully stocked which made it a breeze to make our meals. It is close to town and many outdoor adventures. Surrounded by beautiful nature! Would definitely recommend this lovely cabin.

Amazing Place!
Was an amazing trip! Definitely recommended, private beach area is so beautiful. Great to have the dog with us! Would recommend bringing bug spray and plenty of food to cook in the kitchen.

Getting away from it all
We had a great stay here. The location was exactly what we were looking for. Far enough away from town to not run in to other people on the beach but also close enough we could easily enjoy Northport and other Leelanau towns. We spent a lot of time enjoying the deck and the view through the woods to the lake. The sunsets are amazing. The steps down to the beach could be a bit scary for anyone with difficulty walking. We were okay but thought about if our parents had joined us. The fire pit was not in a convenient location we never ended up using it. It wasn’t close to the house or in view of the beach. The beach was amazing. We did lots long long walks along it and found a bunch of petoskey stones. It was a thrill for our daughter with each one she found.
