About this property
Beautiful Family House on the Lake
This family lakefront property has been in the Stanton family for four generations. The original log cabin was replaced in the early 1980s by an architect designed spacious house that can comfortably hold a crowd or be intimate enough for a small group. It is situated on a large lakefront lot on the eastern shore of North Lake Leelanau with private woods to the south and deck overlooking the lake. The sunsets are breathtaking. This house provides easy access to the water with a long pier and unique recreational dock with boat lift. Boat launch is just 1/2 a mile down the road from the house. We also enjoy the only private marina on the lake so guests can easily dock their boats, ski-dos or a pontoon boat (available for rental in Lake Leelanau). The lakefront area is safe and easy for swimming and the water is crystal clear. There is no sandy beach at our site, but Nedow's Beach is reachable by boat right across the lake. Sunny rear patio is great for windy days and is off the kitchen for easy outdoor cooking. There is a fire pit for lakefront campfires. The house includes: a large, comfortable master bedroom with private bath. Guest bedroom with full size and semi-private full bath. And two great bunk rooms with eight twin beds total and a full bath. LARGE lake viewing living/dining room with seating for lots of people inside, not including all the outside areas for BBQ. The sunsets from the house are unimaginable. The house is set up with quiet and social zones so kids and adults can enjoy the house and not be on top of each other. The Lake House is a one of a kind place that is rarely available for rental. You'll love it. We do.
