About this property

Lake Leelanau Waterfront With Dock and Panoramic Views. Close to Everything!

Located in the heart of wine country on the shore of south Lake Leelanau, this stunning 4 BR, 2.5 Bath home features panoramic views from every level.

Previously featured in the Showcase of Remodeled Homes, our home has enjoyed consistent “5 star” reviews since being introduced in 2012. As new owners, we look forward to improving upon an already fabulous Leelanau escape.

The updated open-concept kitchen and living areas, plus outdoor dining on the upper balcony and lower patio ensure gorgeous water views whether you opt to dine indoors or al fresco.

Outdoors, you’ll enjoy 120 feet of private, firm sandy bottom Lake Leelanau frontage. Spend your days boating to Leland, floating on a raft, or sun bathing on the dock or sugar-sand beach area. The lake is shallow at the shoreline and for a good distance out, making this great area for supervising children’s summer fun. In the evening, two fireplaces (one on both levels) or the bonfire pit provide the perfect accompaniment to a bottle of wine or s’mores.

Sleeping Bear Dunes, the Leelanau Wine Trail, and unbeatable biking, golf, hiking, fishing, dining, autumn splendor, farmers markets and boutique shopping provide endless nearby options away from the lake. Welcome to Leelanau, the “land of delight!”

Master Bedroom: King Bed plus an en suite master bath
Bedroom 2: Queen Bed
Bedroom 3: Queen Bed
Bedroom 4: 2 sets of Bunk Beds

All linens provided.

Great Family Vacation!
We had a fabulous time at this cottage. We have stayed at several places on the same lake, but this was by far our favorite. Lots of land, the pier was in very good condition, the beach was great, and we loved the tiki shack to hang out at during the day. The inside was clean and well-maintained. We’d love to stay at the same cottage in the future.

Birthday trip
This house is perfect. The location is wonderful. Close to many wineries, the narrows, Leland, and Suttons Bay. The house was clean, and had plenty of room. We loved the dock and firepit. Heather was amazing with communication, and so helpful. We had an amazing time. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful views mediocre home
Pros were beautiful views and great location.Home needed alot of TLC.Couch was broken and when i told the owner she said oh yes she knew she just hasnt got one yet.The master bed and front downstairs beds need repacing,the slider to the deck has no lock and you neeed to arm to close it and even then the men had to close it; owner said she'd send someone over never came.No shades on fro t living area so AC had a hard time keepFor the weely rate things need to be much better.Walk down n up hill to water is hard for older people.ing rooms at 74 and it wasnt even that hot out.Walk to water n back up hill is really hard for older people.We would never rent this home again but Im sure people will.

Lake Leelanau Family Vacation
This is the fifth time staying at this property. It is perfect for our family. Sand, lake, bonfires…what more could you ask for. We love the location and its proximity to so much adventure. Heather is a very conscientious host and is available to answer questions at any time.

Great house - beautifully located
We had a great stay at this house on the west side of Lake Leelanau. Located just about halfway between Leland and Suttons Bay, we had easy access to towns, beaches,wineries, hikes and anything else you might need. The location itself is right on the lake with a dock with a bench at the end for quiet end of day sits. The house was ample for our family - five adults and one little one, with sitting areas inside and out, an ample kitchen, etc. etc. Our host, Heather, was very responsive to our questions, and generously had a loaf of bread and some other goodies waiting for us when we arrived. A great experience overall.

Great stay in heart of Leelanau
We stayed here and had a great time. The lakefront access to Lake Leelanau is nice. Also, this location is central to many activities - Leland, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear, etc. The property is a bit older, but it was perfectly fine for the low key relaxing vacation we were looking for.

Summer fun
This is an ideal place to stay with young kids. Small sand area and shallow water. There are stairs so we brought a safety gate. Quiet neighborhood that is close to everything in Leelanau county. Heather is always ready to assist in anyway possible.

Picture doesn’t, tell the story
The location was beautiful. If we were aware of the hill down to the lake we would not have rented because we had several members of our party with disabilities who could manage a stairway, but not the hill to the lake. Fruit flies were very bad in the home, no screen on the patio doors.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Pillot

Host profile image
My husband and I fell in love with the Leelanau Peninsula years ago on a spur-of-the-moment trip "up north." We spent the next several years exploring ever inch of the peninsula. When South Shore House became available, we knew its location and views were unbeatable. We're so excited to share our dream getaway with you!

Why they chose this property

The lake house is perched on top of a gentle hill which maximizes the views from every level.

What makes this property unique

The living areas on both the upper and lower levels allow kids to have their own space. In the evenings, adults can continue to converse upstairs without disturbing sleeping kiddos.
