Property details

Room enough for your whole group of 8 without anyone doubling up — that's The Birches, 236 feet from downtown Lake Leelanau, with the marina just as close. This is Up North living without leaving the village. Start the morning with the Chateau Chantal sparkling wine waiting in your kitchen, walk to Iron House Gym on the house, then spend the day however you like — wine tasting along the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, browsing downtown, out on the water at the marina, or driving out to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the bike trails. Every part of Leelanau County, Michigan is just minutes from your door. The location alone means this stay feels less like a hotel room and more like the Lake Leelanau condo you wish you owned. Two bedrooms, two and a half baths, and real square footage to spread out in — a king suite, a second bedroom with two queens, and a sleeper sofa in the living area, so eight people can stay together without stacking on top of each other. The kitchen is stocked to actually cook a dinner, not just microwave one. In-unit laundry means you pack light and leave heavy. A private balcony and Smart TVs with your own streaming logins round out the space. Downtown Lake Leelanau, Michigan — 236 feet from your door, a one-minute walk to the public boat launch and marina, and right on the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail. NJ's Grocery is 318 feet away. Suttons Bay Beach is 4.5 miles, Bahle Farms Golf Course is 6.6 miles, Sleeping Bear Dunes is a 25-minute drive, and Cherry Capital Airport, in Traverse City, is 25 minutes out. Sleeps 8 (adults and kids). Check-in 4 PM, check-out 11 AM, self-check-in by smart lock. Quiet hours 10 PM–8 AM and a strict no-party policy. No smoking indoors. Please note: each unit has two sets of stairs and no elevator access. Ready to make Leelanau County memories?

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! The home was beautiful, very clean, and extremely comfortable for our family with two young kids. We would be happy to stay here again in the future

The condo was perfectly located in Lake Leelanau and walkable to restaurants and wineries. Every room was clean and tidy. We did not do any cooking but there were pots, pans and utensils. There was not any plastic wrap, aluminum foil, storage bags or anything like that but we didn’t need it, just wanted to advise for a future renter. I would definitely stay here again!

All brand new, nicely decorated & very comfortable. The king was very nice & lovely shower. Living room very comfy & relaxing. A couple nights we were awaked by something loud but weren’t sure what it was. Other than that, the location is quiet & central to whatever you want to do on the Leelanau. Make sure you understand it is one long flight up to the entrance to the condo (17 steps) and an additional flight (another 17) up to the bedrooms. One good thing is apparently you could keep your heavy wine box just inside the first door & not all the way up a long flight. Though there is a mystery door just inside the entrance, so I’m not sure if someone could access something you left just inside the door? We enjoyed our stay.
