About this property

Modern Farm Cottage in the Heart of Leelanau County

Looking for a weekly summer rental close to all the beauty Leelanau County has to offer? This quaint getaway will be sure to revive your spirit! Designed for a family, it features an open kitchen, a cozy living room, an airy loft bedroom filled with books and a detached, private bunkie with a king sized bed....and even more books. Just minutes to fresh water beaches, wineries, hiking, biking and more.

Come visit our farm cottage right in the heart of Leelanau County, situated on a 135-acre working farm. We're just 1 1/2 miles from the shores of Lake Leelanau and 3 miles from the Big Water at Good Harbor Beach. The village of Lake Leelanau is 6 miles North, Leland and Fishtown are 8 miles away, and Traverse City is an easy, 25-minute drive. Farming is a huge part of our family's life--there are pigs on the property, hayfields in every direction, heritage cows grazing in pastoral fields and farm tours available. Interested in the best grass-fed beef in Leelanau County? Inquire about burger and steaks to eat while you're here or to take home.

The cottage sleeps 6 comfortably, with two separate bedrooms--one slightly detached bedroom with a king-sized bed, one with a queen sized bed and a full sleeper sofa in the living room. You'll find the best local coffee and tea in the cupboard. There is a full spice rack and all of the basic kitchen staples so that if you'd rather eat (or bake) in rather than eat out, you'll feel right at home.

The living room is comfortable, with multiple couches and a wood stove to curl up in front of in the winter. We are lifelong readers and hope you'll see yourself here enjoying a bookish retreat; we built these shelves ourselves for the purpose of holding (part of!) our collection. You'll find hundreds of titles, ranging from contemporary literary fiction to DIY to the classics. There's also a DVD library, wifi and television to suit all interests.

All linens and towels (even beach towels) are included. Basic toiletries are provided. There is a full sized washer and dryer for guests to use as often as they'd like.

Need room for a larger group? See our other listing for the nearby cottage that may also be available while you’re here. This two-cottage setup is ideal for larger family reunions or groups of friends, as the other cottage allows an additional 6 guests to share the same property--but with a bit of space.

There are several summer 2024 weeks and weekends still available.

Nice getaway with hubby
We had a great time! Location was perfect and the cottage was very clean. I just wish the king master suite was attached to the house.

Great location with stunning sunrise
We really enjoyed staying at the greenhouse and watching the sunrise from the front porch. We liked that this house was away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy towns with a convenient winery 0.3 miles down the road with a playset for the kids. The house is also centrally located to all the places we checked out, Sand Dunes, Northport, Good Harbor Beach to name a few. There was more than enough room for our two families and an outdoor fire pit area. Our kids loved checking out the pigs as well!
