Hemlock Lodge on a Babbling Brook

Privacy in the woods, tranquility on a stream, and a quick drive to downtown Traverse City. Get away to the serenity of Up North and enjoy all the Leelanau Peninsula has to offer. Experience this charming and unique mid-century home on a running stream in the forest and let yourself escape to relax and recharge. Have a cup of coffee on the deck in the morning, soak in the hot tub, or cozy up by one of three fireplaces with a book. Once you arrive, you won't want to leave this peaceful space.

The space:
This home was built in 1971. It sits over a spring-fed stream that runs through the property year-round. This property offers total privacy from neighbors and noise, aside from the sound of flowing water which can be heard throughout the house.

This home is a few miles from downtown, even though the surroundings make it feel like a million miles from nowhere. Pick up the Leelanau bike trail and ride into town while wineries, restaurants, hiking trails, and beaches are all within easy reach.

The Leelanau Bike Trail runs near the house. Simply turn right out the driveway, cross Bugai road and continue down about 1/3 mile or so and the bike trail crosses Cherry Bend Road. Turn left to travel up and explore beautiful Leelanau County, turn right to pedal into Traverse City.

Guest access:
This is our home, and we welcome you to it! We do keep our personal belongings on site. We have one room reserved for our belongings and the rest of the home is yours to enjoy. The basement and garage doors are also locked.

Other things to note:
Sometimes I will be available to interact, and sometimes I will not. Either way, you will be provided with all the information necessary for an enjoyable stay. I'm always available via messaging. I also have an awesome Co-host, Luette, who is available to help when I'm not in town.
