The Wheeler Cottage on Beautiful North Lake Leelanau

A huge home with even bigger property. We had 10 adults and 9 small children, ranging from 5 years to 6 months. There was plenty of space that we did not drive each other crazy!
Plenty of room to run around for kids, and the volleyball court is in great shape. Excellent views for sunsets and the dock accommodates rental boats and sun bathers. Don't leave things on the dock overnight, a steady breeze took away a life vest and cooler!

There is a small sandy beach on the property and was "good enough" for some of the kids to play in, but for a real beach experience drive the 6 miles to the Big Lake near downtown Leland. 350' feet of frontage is mind blowing and a beautful view, but you really only want to access the water by this beach area or the docks.

Close drive to Leland and other great places on the peninsula. The kids rang the "dinner bell" every night to let everyone know food was on. Great glass-enclosed porch was a good place to hang out on our rainy day.

Both propane and gas grills available, just about all appliances and dishware you can think of are there.


Rink Wheeler is one of the nicest and most attentive people you will meet. Answered multiple email questions before our trip promptly, and addressed any questions/concerns just as fast when we are at the property.

We would definitely come back! Thanks again!
