About this property

Good Harbor Bay Estate is located just 3 miles south of historic Leland with direct frontage on America's most beautiful beach (Good Morning America 2012). The white sandy beach stretches into 37 miles of Sleeping Bear National Park, with ample opportunity for hiking, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and eagle sightings. It has breathtaking sunset views of both South and North Manitou islands as well as Pyramid Point. Right across from the lighthouse (crib) between the Manitou islands.

The estate has gorgeous private Lake Michigan water frontage and is the perfect setting for large family gatherings as well as small romantic getaways and special anniversaries. It includes 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bath, private TV Room, cathedral ceiling living room with large fireplace, dining room/wet bar, stainless steel gourmet kitchen with wine cooler, a wonderful screened porch, upper and lower decks, outdoor shower, lower level play room/gym.

The spectacular sunsets and awesome views all the way from Pyramid Point to Whaleback along with the sandy beach invite you to use our kayaks and stand-up paddle boards (both included), make a campfire by the beach or simply sit, rejuvenate and enjoy this peaceful setting.

While the Estate is nestled into a very secluded frontage, it is in close proximity to restaurants, historic sites, the Traverse City Film fest, golfing and shopping. Leelanau County is known for its extensive and beautiful road-biking routes, wine-tours, boating and hiking.

Beautiful and Quiet Gem

We recently stayed and had the most wonderful time, although we came during the off season and missed opening weekend, we truly enjoyed ourselves. We were able to disconnect, enjoy the true beauty of the lake and nestle up to a nice fire and glass of wine! The owner/host was absolutely wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed, even early on a Sunday morning when we were in desperate need of coffee with our energetic toddler! Highly suggest a stay here for the awesome views of the lake, proximity to many of the unique towns and lovely and accommodating house!

Perfection!

Look no further! Tanja’s beautiful home checks all the boxes. It has everything you’ll need. And the view of Good Harbor Bay and the Manutius is the absolute best. There are so many thoughtful touches, such as fresh spring flowers, firewood for the fireplace and beachside fire pit, and so much room to spread out. The best part of the house is Tanja. What a wonderful host and thoughtful person.

Fall in NW Michigan

We didn't have the best luck with the weather, but the house was beautiful and Tanja couldn't have been nicer. We hope to be back some day.

Perfect Week in Leelanau

The home is perfect for a large family or several smaller families. I visited with my three kids, siblings and mother and we had plenty of space. The location can’t be beat. A beautiful beach on the big lake and five minute drive to Leland. Traverse City, Suttons Bay, Sleeping Bear Dunes and so much more can be reached within a half hour. I have stayed in a lot of nice vacation rentals over the years, and the host, Tanja, is the best I’ve experienced. Despite a tight turnaround after the previous guests, she was able to check us in early and kept us updated on progress the entire day. And the house was immaculate. She went above and beyond in making our arrival seamless and even had a custom cake waiting for us with a welcome greeting written in frosting. I couldn’t begin to suggest how they could do things better. It was perfect.

Beautiful property inside and out

We had a wonderful fun stay at this property. We were surprised with many extras at this property, the paddle boards, and the kayaks, were a real hit for the grandchildren. The house is beautiful and clean and the neighborhood is nice and pleasant. It seemed like everything was easy to get to from Sleeping Bear Dunes, to Leland, to several other small towns with shops, and etc. The Ping pong table seemed to never be unused, and the selection of books and videos would keep you busy if you wore yourself out doing any of the activities. Tanja was a joy to talk to, and was available for questions before or during our stay, and seemed to genuinely enjoy making our stay the best. We were also surprised by how clear and clean Lake Michigan was, and with the beauty of the house everything just went together.
