Life on Fisher Lake

Paddle out. Fire up.
Slow down.

Launch a kayak from the private dock, listen for the loons that nest here every summer, then gather in the screened pavilion by the wood-burning fire. Come in fall and you can watch the salmon run up the Crystal River, just down the road.

Life at Sugar Loaf

Trails out back.
Lake Michigan views.

Hike straight from the townhouse into the Sugar Loaf Scenic Area, 285 acres of Leelanau Conservancy land with a new summit trail. Then grill on the deck, cool off in the shared summer pool, or play the Old Course next door.

Meet your hosts

Hi, we're Don and Katie

Northern Michigan has always been home for Katie. She grew up in Glen Arbor, spending summers exploring the lakes, trails, beaches and small towns that make Leelanau so special. Today we run Stay Leelanau as a family and host every guest ourselves.

We have kids too, so we know what makes a trip easier, whether that is a Pack ‘n Play set up before you arrive or a plan for a rainy day. And yes, we served Market 22 pizza at our wedding.
