Waterfront cottage on 10 acre bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Very Private,Pets The cottage sits 150 feet above Lake Michigan with views of the Manitou and Fox Islands. 700 feet of frontage and very few neighbors afford an unusual degree of privacy and solitude. A winding path down to the lake leads to miles of shoreline perfect for Petoskey stone and agate hunting, swimming, kayaking, and relaxation.The cottage has a wide covered deck that is the perfect spot to lounge: read, eat, watch a breathtaking sunset or storm clouds fly in from the west, star gaze or dream. There is an eagle's nest nearby and regular flybys. Track and identify freighters sailing through the Manitou Passage by phone app!There is a second patio under the porch with comfy lounge chairs for a quiet respite. You are close to everything that is Leelanau County: wineries, restaurants, beaches, the Sleeping Bear Dunes, golf, hiking, and the best road biking in the Midwest..... but you may never want to leave this spot. It is perfect for those who want to get away from it all. And still only 2 miles from the village of Northport.From June 15 to Sept 1, the rental is 6 day minimum starting Sundays. For the rest of the time, there is a 2or 3 day minimum. There is also a fee if you have a dog.There is no wifi or cable. No TV. Cell service can be spotty. There are fans in each bedroom . There are puzzles, games, and books available. Yard games too.The path is 15 stories up and down, winding and narrow in places. It takes about 5 minutes to go down and 8 minutes to go up. You need to be in reasonable shape to navigate.Note for guests with young children or for guests that have mobility issues, this cottage may not be right for you. The trail down is like a hiking trail in a state park. If you will have to carry your child, it is quite a trek. If you are content to be on the deck for the beautiful views and to venture off to nearby playground and parks, this cottage can work for you.
