Better than advertised

We arrived a mess, our car engine failed, but the house was recently updated ,roomy, well outfitted and a large front porch. Located near downtown we would have a wonderful walk to the beach, bakery, grocery, at least 6 restaurants, the Friday night concerts and the farmers’ market. The dog park was two blocks the other direction with recycling four blocks and dispensary about three. Hosts are ultra responsive obliging and very understanding.

Great Location!

Our family had a great stay - so close to the golf course, walks into town, short drives to beaches and the surrounding towns. It was a great place to jump off from but also a good place to unwind. We really enjoyed spending time on the front porch while it rained. The neighborhood was so quiet and relaxing - which was great for our kids at night after long, fun days.

About the host

Hosted by John Lesperance

John and Carol are married and have lived in Leelanau county since 1994. We reside in an old farm house from the 1860"s. We are born and raised Michiganders that returned to this area after living 11 years in San Diego. John is self employed and Carol is a retired therapist. We love the outdoors, the beach, cross country skiing, hiking, biking and all the things that lead us to this beautiful place.

Why they chose this property

We chose Northport for our rental because the village is old style quaint yet "hip" as well. It reminds one of a New England coast town. It is at the tip of the Leelanau peninsula and is not overrun with tourists and has maintained it's character. We love the entire village as it has everything you may want or need. Being right in the village you can walk or ride bikes to everything. There is every outdoor thing you might want and the marina park is beautiful. People are friendly and it seems no one is ever in a hurry.

What makes this property unique

Pet allowed upon approval (one dog only). Home has large covered front porch for those rainy days that might occur. Within walking distance to beach and park. Great swimming beach for children as it is shallow for a long distance out.
