Cozy waterfront sunset cottage on Lake Leelanau. Air, Near Leland.

This sweet retreat is a true vacation destination on North Lake Leelanau. "Marcia Lee Lake House" is cabin style bungalow. (The house is attached to another residence, but has a private entrance and no shared spaces). Walk into this charmer and enter the well-apportioned kitchen. It is fully equipped with granite countertops, a dishwasher, and all the kitchen amenities that make cooking easy. The Bar area overlooks the kitchen with an additional dining table for family meals. Off the open-concept kitchen/dining area is the living room, which overlooks the lake. Flat panel TV with cable and internet are provided.

Outdoors is a huge wide open space perfect for the kids. It is a short walk to 200 feet of sparkling hard sandy bottom lakefront. Spectacular sunsets can be soaked up from the beach. A dock is provided so bring your fishing boat and enjoy fishing this great lake. Swimming is the best here too, with a sandy shore, and shallow. A sand bar makes for lots of water fun. A patio, grill, and fire pit are right outside the door. 3 kayaks are provided. A volleyball net and a horseshoe pit complete the fun amenities here.

This home is located between the village of Lake Leelanau and Leland. Good Harbor Beach is less than 10 minutes away.

Great Lake area
We booked this last minute and we were so glad we did. Easy day trips to Suttons Bay, Leland and Sleeping Bear Dunes. The lake by the house was world’s largest kiddie pool…clear water, great for kids, great for swimming and we loved the kayaks and beautiful sunsets. House was well stocked (minus a hairdryer) and we had a wonderful trip! There were 5 of us and it was a perfect size!

Quiet & beautiful views
Our family of four had a lovely time at this cute,very clean property .It was close to so much & the sunsets were amazing! The house had everything we needed & my kids enjoyed having their own rooms. Some instructions on how to work the tv would be nice. It took my tech savvy husband a little while to figure it out! We really enjoyed our trip to Michigan and our stay in this cute house.

We love Lake Leelanau!
We’ve stayed on this lake five or six times, and we always love it! The house was lovely, and very clean. We loved the close access to the lake—you get both sunset & sunrise, if you want. Our only concerns were directions about TV use, and figuring out the thermostat, which we conveyed to the management company. I would recommend this house, and DEFINITELY stay there again! It was close to everything we wanted!

It was a rough week.
Because the property is SO OPEN, it meant that there was nowhere to go to "get away" from everyone else. All of the beds are full size, which I think were meant to fit 2 people each, but that did not work for us. So when it was raining, like for 2 days straight, we felt like we were going nuts trying to share this space together. It was so loud! We felt "boxed in". It just ended up being a really rough week for our family and the house definitely contributed to that. The property is great! But it should be advertised as being a VERY open space, and it was "comfortable" for 5 adults, not 7, or even 8, as advertised.

Great location
Great place to stay, awesome lication with great views. We had a small sailboat and rented a pontoon for the week and were able to dock the pontoon and tie the sailboat up to the mooring bouy. Only minor little thing would be the beds. One is a queen the others are fulls so not much room for two. We had 5 kids and three adults and used the sofa's with an air mattress we brought. Overall a great place and perfect location

50th birthday wknd
We booked the Marcia Lee Lake House to celebrate my & a good friend’s 50th birthdays. The combined TC/Leelanau/Old Mission area is one of my favorite places on Earth, so I wanted to bring my sis & some of my best pals — who had not visited the area before— up to celebrate a big milestone. Per usual, the trip did not disappoint & the Marcia Lee Lake House was an excellent home base. The location is great & the property is beautiful! We loved just walking through the backyard to the lake to soak up the beautiful sunsets. We also used the provided kayaks & built a fire in the fire pit. The house itself is airy & open & well appointed with an ample kitchen, nice bedrooms & a roomy loft. The house is attached to the owners’ home, but there is no shared wall as a garage separates the two homes. Can be a little tricky to find; follow the small wooden “Marcia Lee Lake House” signs & turn left onto a shared drive when you see the small, vertical green “6541” sign. You’ll then wind around to the large shared property & “your” cabin will be the farthest of the two. Again, we really enjoyed our time there & would book again.

Convenient, very clean
Everything we needed. Beautiful outdoor area by the lake. Kayaked and enjoyed the neighborhood loons. Comfortable beds and very clean. It was difficult to locate, but we enjoyed the stay. The only thing we would have liked was a bit more private area for sitting. Loft is open to the living area so difficult if not everyone has the same sleep schedule.

We loved staying at the cabin. It was the perfect spot for our weekend and close to everything that we wanted to visit. Our son loved going on the kayaks and running through the yard to the lake. We will for sure want to stay here again!

Annual family vacation in lake Leelanau
A very nice week. Accommodations were very clean and well-cared for. Good location on south side of north lake Leelanau. Convenient to grocery store and gas station . Short distance to Leland and Sutton’s bay. Yard was great for picnic and games. Plenty of chairs for relaxing. Firepit at lakeside with wood was a very nice touch. We rented a pontoon boat for the week. Very shallow around dock which makes it a bit tricky but it was just a short boat ride to “the drop off” (sandbar). Would love to stay again.

2nd year staying here!
This was our second year in a row staying at Marcia Lee. We lake hopped for a few years prior (Torch, Crystal, Glen) and finally found our favorite cottage and lake! We enjoy taking the boat up to Leland and staying near the narrows is absolutely perfect for kayaking up to Boathouse winery and paddle boarding. Beautiful property and wonderful place all around! Will be back in 2021!

Marcia Lee Lake House
We have been coming to Lake Leelanau in the fall since 2001, and have generally stayed at the same property. However it changed hands last year and was no longer available, so we had to find a new place. The Marcia Lee Lake House was a fabulous replacement for our regular rental. It is a beautiful property, both the home and the setting. It appeared to have been recently renovated and was spotlessly clean and everything was in good working order. The bed was comfy, and the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. The living room furniture was comfortable and the lighting is excellent for reading, knitting, etc. It was convenient to have a washer and dryer. The view from the beach area was gorgeous. But best of all was the location. It was centrally located for everything we love to do. From wineries to restaurants, to knitting stores and groceries, we were minutes from everything. Best of all, the property is located on a quiet part of M-22 and we were able to hop on our bikes and bike to Leland, the Village of Lake Leelanau and Sutton’s Bay. It was great not to have to haul the bikes in the car to ride. Loved the property and we had a perfect vacation!

It’s nice once inside and the back yard is big. The area around the fire pit and deck is beautiful and peaceful. Kayaks were provided which was great. The beds weren’t super comfortable, but overall the inside is nice.

Traveling with 3 kids under 6 this property was ideal and true to it's description. The lake was lovely, clear and shallow for a very long way. Being in the spacious backyard using the fire pit, kayaks, and space was our favorite. Geographically also close to all the cute towns - Leland, Traverse, Sutton's Bay, The Dunes and more! In transparency when you drive up you see the backside of the duplex and I was concerned until we parked and walked around the front. It was very quiet and secluded with all the things we wanted. Simple suggestions would be to add kid/outdoor friendly plates and cups; and beach towels. Traveling from Texas so packing these essentials was not possible. From a cabin perspective, my preference is a more minimalist look so removing some of the extra furniture in the loft that isn't usable would be a nice touch. Some simple updates on decor could go a very long way. would recommend!
