Northport Rental: Historic Lake Michigan Cottage 2 Miles from Lighthouse — Property 316510

Northport cottage Rental Property Information

Once a crafts building for a century old girls camp, this charming cottage boasts 12' ceilings and a knotty pine interior decorated in a classic North Michigan style. Situated in a woods of pine and hardwoods, the cottage and detached deck look over a private beach of sand and pebbles (the worlds best Petoskey stone hunting!), at the northwest end of Grand Traverse Bay. The village of Northport is 6 miles south, and the historic lighthouse and museum are only 2 miles north. The fantastic view from the cottage looks across the bay to the town of Charlevoix, with Lake Michigan and the Fox Islands to the north. The typically calm waters on this side of Leelanau Peninsula makes for safe swimming for kids and a small boat can be launched directly from the beach or the boat launch a short distance away. Lake Michigan is free of swimmers itch, which plagues so many of the inland lakes.
