About this property

Fishtown Lodge - Cozy Leland Log Cabin Home - Quiet location but close to town

Enjoy the true Leelanau experience in our centrally located custom log home! Located just outside downtown Leland and Fishtown - the harbor, shops, public beaches and many hiking and biking trails of Leland are just around the corner. However the home's property at the end of a wooded cul de sac still feels quiet and secluded.

Our log cabin home has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, with a bedroom/full bath on each level - making it a perfect place to host up to 3 couples or a multi-generational family. There is a main floor master bedroom, large upstairs loft with a queen bed plus bunks, and fully finished walk out basement with the third bedroom and a family room/TV room. We love to cook and use the vacation home ourselves, so you will find the kitchen well stocked - not your typical rental kitchen.

Great for families and stocked with a Pack 'n Play, baby gates, high chair and games. The TV includes a Roku stick with YouTubeTV and more, plus Sonos wifi speakers on two levels. And we welcome your well behaved pets too!

In the summertime enjoy the large deck, outdoor furniture, fire pit and Weber charcoal grill. In the winter, cozy up under a blanket with the wood stove or take a soak in the master jetted tub.

Located in the heart of the Leelanau Peninsula, Fishtown Lodge has easy access to Northport, Sutton's Bay, Traverse City and Glen Arbor. Enjoy the areas many wineries, breweries and restaurants or beaches, hiking and biking trails.

You will love your stay at Fishtown Lodge!

Mother’s Day trip to Fishtown and the Leelanau Peninsula

We had a stellar trip exploring all areas in and around Leland. We traveled up the coast from Indiana and made many stops along the way. This cabin was perfectly situated for an easy drive any direction even with 2 children under 2!

We had a family get-together and needed enough space to spread out. This house was perfect! And it was a 2-minute drive down the road into Fishtown. We could have walked if we wanted to.

Beautiful home and great stay

Overall a wonderful stay at this fancy log cabin home! We had 4 adults and 2 children and we could have definitely had a couple more people with us. Plenty of space! The kids loved the loft area that had bunk beds and toys. All the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had plenty of extras. The location was close to the main Leland area - maybe a 2 min drive. Communication was good with the owner, very responsive if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Host profile image
We live downstate but love spending time in Leelanau.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to Leelanau for years and love everything about it. We first stayed in this home as a rental before purchasing it as a vacation home. It is a great place to relax and enjoy everything that Leelanau has to offer, and we are happy to share it with you!

What makes this property unique

This home is great for families, with a bedroom and full bath on every floor. The basement is fully carpeted and great for kids. The log cabin, wood stove and stone chimney vibe can't be beat. We love to cook so the kitchen is well-stocked, not your typical rental kitchen.
