Family-Friendly Resort
Step outside to enjoy over 400 feet of private lakefront, a sandy beach, a marina with a boat slip, and plenty of space for water activities like kayaking, jet skiing, or swimming.

In the evening, enjoy a bonfire and make memories around one of three shared fire pits with breathtaking sunset views.
In addition to the private beach and marina, West Wind Resort offers a playground, basketball court, and expansive green space. The shallow shoreline is ideal for young children, and beach toys and lawn games are provided for added fun.

About the host
Hosted by Ben Glasener

The West Winds resort holds a very special place in our hearts. Ben’s grandparents started vacationing on Lake Leelanau more than 60 years ago, passing down the tradition from generation to generation. This cottage has become the landscape for many family gatherings, baby showers, and birthday parties, and we love all that the Leelanau peninsula and Traverse City area has to offer! We want to make your Lake Leelanau vacation the best it can be, and hope you will make amazing memories during your stay!
When we aren’t enjoying Lake Leelanau, you’ll find us in Ann Arbor with our two amazing kids.
