Come and stay at the freshly updated West Wind Resort 'Suite Cherry' lakeside cottage. This lakeside resort has 11 cottages with 400' of water frontage.

You can let your kids play on the large playground and run safely throughout the resort property without worrying about busy streets. You can take them down to the sandy beach where all of you will enjoy the warm Michigan sun. A personal boat slip is provided (up to 22 foot) and also a place on Lake Leelanau to rent boats. Dad will want to take the kids out on this great fishing lake to catch walleye, bass, and pan fish, and the wives can slip away to take in the wonderful boutiques and shops in Sutton's Bay and Traverse City.

Leelanau cottage

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Aug 13, 2012
  • Stayed: Aug 2012
We enjoyed our stay at the Barkers’ cottage very much. It is a great place to “get away from it all,” since there is no WiFi and the TV is just connected to the DVD/VCR player, but everything else needed is there. Lake Leelanau is a long (15 miles), beautiful lake, perfect temperature, great for boating and fishing. Closest stores and restaurants are in Suttons Bay, or Lake Leelanau town (check out the Pedaling Beans Coffee House), about 15 minutes away. This is a perfect location for exploring all of the Leelanau peninsula as well as Traverse City.

Although there are technically seven beds, that would feel quite crowded.
The photos give one a good idea of the place.

The Barkers are fine landlords and were eager for us to enjoy ourselves.

Fall Visit

The property is very well maintained and comfortable.

The cabin is perfect for 4 adults but I would not recommend 6 adults.

The kitchen has the utensils necessary to cook a meal. It also has an outside barbeque.

Overall, if you are looking for a property on the lake with comfortable accomodations, this property is for you.

The owners were very accomodating and down to earth. They seemed genuinely concerned that we would enjoy our stay.
