Peaceful Leelanau Getaway – Central Location with Pool & Scenic Views
Looking for a peaceful, centrally located escape to live out your Up North dreams? This updated 3-bedroom, 3-bath townhouse sits at the base of the former Sugar Loaf ski hill—now a quiet and scenic backdrop surrounded by rolling hills and forest. You’ll be minutes from Cedar, Glen Arbor, Leland, Lake Leelanau, and Traverse City, making it easy to explore wineries, beaches, hiking trails, and local dining.
The Space
Wake up to quiet mornings and step outside to enjoy open green space perfect for lawn games, picnics, or just soaking in the beauty of Leelanau County. Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully prepared for your comfort—cozy bedding, plush towels, soft throw blankets, and comfortable furnishings throughout.
The layout is great for families or groups, offering separation of space and en-suite bathrooms for added privacy. After a day of exploring, unwind in a cool, quiet space with A/C units in nearly every room (downstairs bedrooms naturally stay cool) and freestanding fans throughout.
