Gorgeous North Lake Leelanau frontage.

One mile south of Leland, Drake’s bluff is located in a premier location in Northern Michigan. This property sits on the breathtaking North Lake Leelanau in the heart of the Leelanau Peninsula. Enjoy 200 ft of frontage with 2 private docks and a private mooring located across the famous M22 road. Here, family and friends can enjoy swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, and a fire by the lake. Rent a boat nearby or bring your own to enjoy 20 miles of watersports, great fishing, boating North through the Leland river into Historic Fishtown(Leland), or boating South through the narrows into Lake Leelanau. Both towns offer docks to tie up where you can enjoy great food, shopping, wine tasting, ice cream, and in Leland walk the famous Van's beach on Lake Michigan.

This beautiful home is unique as it offers an amazing lake view showcasing Lake Leelanau’s gorgeous tree lined waters, sunrises in the morning from inside or on the deck, and shinning moon and stars at night. This home has ample outdoor space and seating to enjoy grilling out, yard games and a great bonfire area. There is also a large outdoor cedar shower and hammocks. Home features include: two separate living spaces that are connected, each have their own kitchen, bedrooms and living area. There are a total of 5 bedrooms and 3 baths, a stunning fireplace, and lots of windows to view the lake.

Short Stay for wedding at Aurora Cellars
We enjoyed our short weekend stay to attend a wedding. The bedding in addition to the linens was in place as per the photos. All was clean and inviting inside the house. The expansive new deck was awesome. The Drakes Bluff sign was not in place when we arrived and hopefully this is remedied for future guests. We did not use the Propane BBQ or kayaks during our stay however they were in place. We would stay there again for a multi family lodging.

Wonderful
The house is well maintained and easily accommodated our group of 16 adults. The deck over looks the water, but you do have to cross a road and go down several steep steps to get to it. The bonfire area was fantastic. Definitely would consider renting here again if we’re in the area.

Awesome house and location!
House was huge! Plenty of room for 11 adults and teens. The second living space with its own kitchen was great to have for the older kids. Beautiful yard with an amazing view of the lake. You have to cross the street to access the private dock, house came with 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards and a few other water toys that were great to have. Leland was a very short (2 min) drive, as was Sutton's Bay (10min). So much to do in this area, and the house was perfectly located to farms, wineries, golf, everything you want when staying up here! Host was quick to answer any questions and made for such a wonderful stay. Highly recommend this house!

Great House!
I stayed here for a week with my whole family (6 adults and 4 kids). The house came as advertised. Really enjoyed the dual family room/kitchen. Paddleboards and kayaks were easily accessible by the lake and shuffleboard table was a great addition! The owner and management company were quick to respond to any needs or questions.

Beautiful lake property
This is a great house for a large family. The bedroom situation is great, but you do have to walk thru one of them to get to the back 2 bedrooms so you might want to put your early risers there ! All the beds & pillows are very comfy. The kitchen is a bit small, but very well stocked. Great dock with dining and gorgeous view of the lake. Awesome fire pit which we enjoyed every night. The house a little worn - could use a little updating. The lake is down a long flight of steps and across a busy road so not ideal, but we made it work. Lake Leelanau is gorgeous - the area is great for restaurants & wineries, taking the boat to Fishtown was one of our highlights! Communication with Jodie was great - she always responded very quickly.

Lovely home on Lake Leelanau in Awesome location
We love our stay at Drake's Bluff! The home is perfectly situated just minutes from Fishtown, with a beautiful view of Lake Leelanau. The amenities of the home were perfect - we used the paddleboards and the kayaks, played with the bags set and some of the toys at the house, used the grill and cooked in the kitchen, even showered in the outdoor shower each day! The layout of the home is ideal for 2 families as the house was converted from 2 units into 1, so there are two "separate living areas" in the home, but with plenty of large communal space as well. As others have mentioned, crossing M-22 to the docks can be a little dicey as the road crossing is on a somewhat blind curve with cars moving quickly through there, but this wasn't a huge drawback for us. Overall a 5-star property!
