Relaxing

This was our 5th year in a row coming to the Leelanau peninsula and 3rd year in a row of staying in Northport. Northport hosts the "Uncaged" festival the last Saturday in September so it's an especially fun time to be there. The house was very clean and tidy. We especially enjoyed the covered front porch. We've already discussed going back!

Relax and Enjoy Northport

This home, yard and front porch help to make this lovely well kept home a wonderful experience when visiting Northport. The furnishing are well maintained and comfortable. There are four nice size bedrooms, a comfortable living area, two bathrooms, and a nicely stocked kitchen. The home is within walking distance to the marina, park and downtown Northport. You can enjoy 'Music in the Park' on Friday as well as the outdoor market. It is a short ride to Omena, Suttons Bay and Leland for great resturants and fun shops. We used the BBQ often and ate out on the picnic table almost every night. Our children and friends came to visit. We could all sat out on the large front porch to visit and enjoy the locals as they walked or drove past. Everyone waves and stops to chat. The owners, Jon and Carol, are tops. They kept in touch and make us feel welcome to their lovely home. Thank You both for opening it to us and welcoming our dog, Copper who spent most of his time on the porch with everyone.

Northport Vacation

Great house, quiet street, responsive owners. House was very clean, the only issue was a plumbing leak which prevented us from using 2nd shower for last half of our stay. The owner was very quick to try to address the issue. We loved Northport as it was not nearly so crowded as some of the other Lake Michigan resort towns. On a side note for those of you traveling with your pets, our elderly dog had a medical emergency on our trip and the staff at Bay Area Pet Hospital in Traverse City were wonderful.

Yellow house vacation

The house was in a great location, and very well furnished. It managed to meet all our needs and expectations. Our grandchildren enjoyed staying with us for the week. We had lots of space, and did not have to be on top of each other. The experience was by far the best we have had.

Better than advertised

We arrived a mess, our car engine failed, but the house was recently updated ,roomy, well outfitted and a large front porch. Located near downtown we would have a wonderful walk to the beach, bakery, grocery, at least 6 restaurants, the Friday night concerts and the farmers’ market. The dog park was two blocks the other direction with recycling four blocks and dispensary about three. Hosts are ultra responsive obliging and very understanding.

Great Location!

Our family had a great stay - so close to the golf course, walks into town, short drives to beaches and the surrounding towns. It was a great place to jump off from but also a good place to unwind. We really enjoyed spending time on the front porch while it rained. The neighborhood was so quiet and relaxing - which was great for our kids at night after long, fun days.

Great!

Loved our stay here!! Pictures do not give it justice. It’s so cute!!! It was clean, close to town, which is also adorable, and super close to a great little golf course too! House had plenty of towels, extra linens, ziplock bags, all manner of soaps, good internet, and lots of good TV channels. We explored Northport and the Leelanau peninsula area during our stay and was always happy to come back to this cute little house! Neighborhood was quiet, plenty of shops and restaurants in Northport. ( and it wasn’t crazy busy like some tourist towns up there are) We even found a great little spot to watch the sunset on Lake Michigan a short drive away. Would definitely recommend, and we hope to come back!

This was our second stay here and once again we were very happy. It is just wonderful being so close to town. The only downside this time was a new house being built next door, so it was a bit noisy at times, but Carol and John gave us a discount for our "troubles", which was very kind. They were very attentive to our needs and I would highly recommend staying here. We are already looking in to next year!

Perfect spot north of Traverse City

We enjoyed our visit to Northport. The property was spotless, the neighborhood very very quiet, and accessibility to all area wineries and other areas of interest quite easy. Nothing was left to chance at the property. An easy walk downtown for coffee, sightseeing and the farmers market. A short drive to Suttons Bay and wineries.

About the host

Hosted by John Lesperance

Host profile image
John and Carol are married and have lived in Leelanau county since 1994. We reside in an old farm house from the 1860"s. We are born and raised Michiganders that returned to this area after living 11 years in San Diego. John is self employed and Carol is a retired therapist. We love the outdoors, the beach, cross country skiing, hiking, biking and all the things that lead us to this beautiful place.

Why they chose this property

We chose Northport for our rental because the village is old style quaint yet "hip" as well. It reminds one of a New England coast town. It is at the tip of the Leelanau peninsula and is not overrun with tourists and has maintained it's character. We love the entire village as it has everything you may want or need. Being right in the village you can walk or ride bikes to everything. There is every outdoor thing you might want and the marina park is beautiful. People are friendly and it seems no one is ever in a hurry.

What makes this property unique

Pet allowed upon approval (one dog only). Home has large covered front porch for those rainy days that might occur. Within walking distance to beach and park. Great swimming beach for children as it is shallow for a long distance out.
