Cedar Cottage | Memo's Treasure on beautiful Lake Leelanau

3 Bedroom Cottage in Cedar

This charming log cabin sits on the shores of beautiful, highly sought-after Lake Leelanau—an ideal setting for a classic Up North getaway.
Inside, you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen. The dining area opens to the family room, creating a welcoming open-concept space. Just off the living room is a light-filled four-season room overlooking the lake. It’s the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or favorite drink while taking in serene water views or watching the kids play on the lush, green lawn.
Step outside and enjoy evenings around the fire pit, roasting s’mores and making memories you’ll recount long after summer ends. A dock provides convenient access to the lake. Lake Leelanau is an all-sports lake, popular with anglers of all experience levels and suitable for every type of watercraft.
The breathtaking Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a scenic, nearby drive away. Explore its crystal-blue waters, towering dunes, lush forests, and hiking and biking trails suited for all levels of adventurers. The area is also known for its many wineries—local wine trail maps are available to help you plan your tastings.
If you’d like a break from the rustic lakeside charm, Traverse City is only a short drive away. Enjoy a vibrant downtown filled with restaurants, independent shops, brewpubs, beloved local bookstores, restored historic theaters, and year-round festivals including the National Cherry Festival—all set along the sparkling shores of Grand Traverse Bay.

Summary: The cottage is in a beautiful, quiet part of Cedar, close to nature and local attractions. It has great charm and the potential to be a truly special getaway. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and the character of this older, family-owned home.We know how much Memo meant to the family, and the cottage reflects that love. It’s a generational home, full of warmth and history, and clearly a work in progress — but it should be priced and listed accordingly.This is not a negative review of the owners or the property itself, but of the management company and their inability to maintain proper cleanliness. Upon arrival, we found several items left from previous guests: an open bottle of vodka, a used razor in the bathroom trash, greasy pans in the oven, a funeral program in the hutch, and even a contact lens that ended up on my wife’s phone after she set it on a table.For the price, we expected hotel-level cleanliness. We were so dissatisfied we left a day early, but the management company refused to refund the unused night.With improved housekeeping and an accurate listing, this could be a truly wonderful rental experience.
