About this property

Our classic knotty pine family cottage is waterfront on Lake Leelanau. Its at the end of the lane tucked between the cedar forest and clear stream. No through traffic, no shared front yard; a place where you truly feel on vacation. Whether you enjoy sunrise and a cup of coffee, or sunset and and a glass of local wine you are sure to unwind in this beautiful waterfront.

The cottage is comfortably furnished with an Up North flair featuring log furniture and numerous Up-North touches. The open floor plan, living room- kitchen is perfect for conversation, family meals and games.

There are three bedrooms, two full baths, and a popular outdoor shower, plus a large family room giving you lots of space to spread out.
The 1st bedroom has a queen bed, the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms have double beds with a twin over (bunk style) beds. Kids love the hand carved turtles and raccoons on their beds. The den has a futon couch/bed, TV, DVD player, bar and game table. The family room makes a nice mini-suite, or a great place for the kids to hang-out.

From the front deck we've seen turtles, otter, deer, grouse, and eagles. The shallow lake entry area is perfect for play. The dock has room for your boat or make it your private fishing pier. Our area of the lake is popular with the fisherman who know the good spots.. Two kayaks and a canoe are included for a quiet morning paddle. The old-style pine picnic table and charcoal grill make outdoor meals a pleasure. Retire to the oversize hammock to read a book or take a nap. When it's time to clean up head for the outdoor shower with dressing area. The perfect end to an upnorth day is around the campfire where stories are told and marshmallow S'mores are the traditional treat.

Location, Location Waterfront, and on your own secluded lane, just five minutes south of Lake Leelanau. Day trips to Leland, Northport, Suttons Bay, Empire or Glen Arbor for unique shopping and restaurants are so easy.

The Hideout is centered in Leelanau Wine Country with many personal favorites with in 5 minutes. Sleeping Bear Dunes headquarter is a short drive and stunning Lake Michigan sunsets at Good Harbor Beach are 10 minutes west..

Our dock is available for your boat and there is generous parking for your boat trailer.

We will have tourism information at the cottage on arrival. If you have specific planning needs please contact us in advance.

Perfect Getaway

My family stayed at the Hideaway for a week and it couldn’t have been better. The cottage is extremely well equipped. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen and living areas are clean and efficient. Outdoors they have everything you need in a great location on the lake. The property manager was also very responsive and a good communicator. If you’re looking for a great place to stay on lake Leelenaus you won’t regret choosing the Hideout.

Hideout Vacay

This is a very pleasant, clean, well-maintained cottage on wonderful Lake Leelanau. The kitchen was well-stocked with what we needed to cook, the mattresses are great, and we enjoyed kayaking on the lake and hiking on nearby trails. We would definitely rent this cottage again.

Perfect Getaway

My mother, brother, and I had an excellent time at the hideout. It's tucked away on Lake Leelanau and is the perfect spot to explore the Leelanau Peninsula. The only caveat is the bedrooms with bunk beds do not have 3 prong outlets, so if you're bringing a computer or any other device which needs a ground, you may want to bring an adapter or charge elsewhere in the cabin.

First time up north

We had a great time connecting with family, enjoying the lake, cute town of Leelanau and our "Up North Cabin" experience! I think we all said the outside shower was our favorite! Had everything we needed and loved playing games in the back bonus room.

great cottage in a great location

We have been coming to the glen arbor area for a long time and found this to be one of our 2 favorite places we've stayed. It's bigger than the pictures make it look, and nicer too. The hosts are extremely responsive. It's a very private and quiet part of the lake, and very easy to drive to Leland or Sutton's Bay for anything you need. Highly recommend

Resplendent • Relaxing • Rustic Retreat!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful location on Lake Leelanau. The cottage was the perfect place for 8 members of my family to connect and reflect. The location provides a good staging area for those wishing to visit the local attractions, including Good Harbor beach, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Northport, Peterson State Park and the quaint downtown's of Leland and Suttons Bay. The cottage setting itself is beautiful. It is very relaxing. Coffee in the morning with the sunrise. Night time gathering by the fire pit. The inside of the cottage is well furnished with just about anything a traveler might need. We had a terrific visit and would not hesitate to do so again!!!

Wonderful rustic cabin with modern amenities

I can't say enough good things about this property and our time here! To begin with, everything is exactly as advertised. The cabin has a wonderful rustic feel while also sporting modern creature comforts like a well-stocked kitchen, central heating/cooing, and Wi-Fi internet. My only issues with the cabin itself are that one bedroom and one bathroom are a bit small, and it's necessary to pass through one of the bedrooms to get from one end of the cabin to another, unless you go outside and use the side door. This makes it a bit awkward if you want to move through while someone is sleeping in that room. But these issues are very minor and easily overlooked given everything else the property has going for it. The location was great—secluded, with lakefront access, and also close to a number of points of interest in the Traverse City/Sleeping Bear Dunes area. Finally, the host was communicative, helpful, and went out of her way to make us feel welcome at the cabin. I would recommend this property to anyone who wants a quiet lakeside getaway with a rustic feel!

Amazing stay!

We LOVED our stay! The cabin was very clean and had so many cool wood features..those bunk beds are beautiful! We had absolutely everything we needed there including charcoal and bundles of wood. We did replace what we used but was awesome it was there for us. We very much lucked out with the weather being sunny and 70's for the few days we stayed in October! We had so much fun on our down time from touring the wineries and views by hanging out there playing corn hole and games in the game room and a bit of fishing off shore. This was our 1st time staying in an air bnb and our experience couldn't have been better 💗 Also, thank you for the chips and cherry salsa..it was delicious! We are very much looking forward to staying there again.

Hideout in the Great Michigan Outdoors

This cabin is nestled in the woods with frontage on Lake Leelanau. We enjoyed the amenities of modern living while also enjoying the cabin decor. The outdoor areas were perfect with kayaks, hammock, deck, dock and fire pit all being used by us. Communications with managers was outstanding. Alarm for septic did go off during our stay which was very alarming but quickly handled after a call to property contact. They were most helpful in ensuring that we were able to watch our Chiefs football games, so much appreciated! Saw lots of wildlife including a Bald Eagle while I sat on the couch looking out at the lake. Great stay, thank you!!!

About the host

Hosted by Diana and Lou Aug

Michiganders forever, currently living in the Chicago area we really appreciate the slower pace and peace and quiet.

Why they chose this property

Five generations of our family have been vacationing in Leelanau County. As children moved away for careers it always provides a place to "'disconnect" and "reconnect" .
We reinvent games we played and telling stories.

What makes this property unique

Walking out on the dock, coffee in hand, to watch the sun come up is a superb way to start the day. In the city we forget how brilliant the night stars can be and the excitement of seeing a meteor shower, or if lucky, the Northern Lights. The pace of life changes for our whole family. We have time to enjoy each other and the simple things.
