We had a wonderful stay at this cozy spot on Lake Michigan! The property was comfortable and had all the essentials we needed. The views were stunning, and we were thrilled to witness the northern lights, a comet, and even a halo moon, (which we’ve never seen before)! The lake and fall colors added so much beauty to the experience. It’s a great place to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of northern Michigan. We’d definitely recommend it for a relaxing getaway.

Thoroughly enjoyed our end of summer stay at the Dome. Perfect weather all week made for lots of time spent strolling the beach, making stone flowers in the sand, collecting fossilized rocks, and watching the beautiful sunsets and moonsets (super moon week). Couldn't believe how calm the lake was and how refreshing to get in the water. The cottage was so relaxing and had everything we needed to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Great Location, Challenging Hike to the Beach

         

Review date: 2022-09-24

Review by Deborah K.
The house is older but in beautiful shape. Great view! Well equipped kitchen! Neighbors are close but very quiet. We would have loved if the windows and screens were clean; lots of webs and dead bugs �� inside and out. The carpeting is fairly grundgy. Hard surface flooring would be a perfect upgrade. BUT overall such a beautiful comfortable setting. FYI- the hike to the beach is challenging especially when carrying chairs, coolers, kids, dogs, etc. but once you’re there the beach is FABULOUS!

Loved our entire week stay. Beautiful beach & very comfortable cabin accommodations. Cabin was clean & well taken care of. ONLY complaint would be that the steps leading down to the water are deteriorating & could use an update for safety's sake. Otherwise we were VERY happy & already discussing possibility of returning next summer. Thanks!

Review by Deborah H.
Northern Lights is a terrific place to stay on Lake Michigan. The view of the lake through the trees is beautiful, especially the sunsets! Access to the lake is down 30 or so steps through the woods but you are rewarded with a shed full of "lake gear" floats, sand shovels & buckets, life preservers, lounge chairs, etc. Also a fire pit that is sheltered by the dune. Once you get to the beach you are rewarded with sandy, rocky beach in either direction...you could walk for hours! And we did! The house is comfy and has a fully stocked kitchen. We cooked and grilled all our meals! The washer & dryer made it so convenient! This was our 3nd year there and wed highly recommend it!

I've stayed here multiple times, and I'm always enchanted by the dome house on Lake Michigan. It's got incredible views and access to the lake and is a short drive into the adorable town of Northport. While much of the week was enjoyed soaking up the sun and the waves on the beach, there are also several great hiking trails within a half hour of home, as well as other cute upnorth towns such as Leland and Suttons Bay to explore. Visit Up North has been great to work with -- I appreciate being able to access all my rental info via email and through their app. Would love to visit again!

We really enjoyed our visit and the cottage location. The only negative it needed cleaning, Cobwebs on lamps, spiders in corners of all rooms(been there awhile), Most of the utensils and pans needed to be rewashed (i.e.,oil and food on pans,measuring cups,dishes etc. YUCK. The waste can in the kitchen was so gross-(Food in the bottom of it). Don't get me wrong our stay was great the uniqueness of the cottage was great. Just didn't like that I had to clean before we enjoyed tour stay.

I've stayed at this house before, and I keep coming back for the incredible location and magnificent views. Located just outside the charming town of Northport, there's plenty to do, including hiking trails, a nearby state park, local shops, restaurants, and a brewery, and of course, the beach. The Northern Lights lake house is the perfect spot if you're looking for relaxation and natural beauty.

Such a beautiful spot! Place was clean, comfy and equipped kitchen made things so easy. Best library of any place I have stayed- and art as well. Caution to those who are elderly; the climb up the sand with no stairs for a bit can be hard for those 70 yrs olds who are not super fit. Great place for our dog and daughter though! (And bless the hosts for allowing us to bring our dog as we were there for a funeral)

We have been traveling to the Leelanau Penensula for over 20 years, first as campers and now prefer cabins. The natural beauty of the area is perfectly represented at Northern Lights. The home was unique and clearly cherished by its owners. We loved the layout of the great room and there were plenty of towels, kitchen supplies and blankets. The outdoor space was terrific. Steps to Lake Michigan! We walked the beach for hours with our dog. We enjoyed the hammock and appreciated the WiFi and smart TV for after sunset movie watching. Really a gem of a place that we hope to return to again. Thanks to the owner for creating and sharing such magically spot!

The place is magnificent, the woods overlooking the lake, the sandy beach the view from the house are the strengths of this minimalist home. The house was comfortable. It had all the amenities we needed and we never left the house on our stay other than for some food purchases. We spent time reading, walking on the beach, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, it was our ideal vacation. The only minus is the lack of privacy in the upstairs bedrooms like it was mentioned in previous reviews. It is not safe to bring small children to the upstairs bedrooms.

What a fabulous vacation we and our guests experienced at the beautify Northern Lights. Beautiful cottage and amenities were plentiful: sunsets, sunrises, private beach, deck, grill, quiet and serene and very private yet not far from town. We will definitely be back for another visit. Only drawback: our vacation had to end sometime! :)

My husband and I had a perfectly wonderful week at Northern Lights cottage with our dog Lady. The weather was very summerish for early October and we had the beach all to ourselves on several occassions. Wonderful walks on the beach down to Cat head point, nice quiet afternoons sitting on the dunes overlooking the big beautiful lake and ever changing sky. A great place to recharge, clear the mind, and truly rest in a little piece of paradise.

Review by Ashley N.
My friends and I really enjoyed staying at this house. The photos do not do it justice. The home was beautiful and clean, with very cool features and architecture. Some vacation homes can just be splattered with really weird cabin, Christian, nautical, or generic art but this place felt tasteful and well designed; A lovely pallet to be surrounded by throughout the week. The beach front was incredible and the Adirondack chairs set up away from the beach made for memorable sunset watching every evening. We were lucky to get to rent this home and be so close to the wedding of a friend that was held at the end of the week at shady trails camp. The few downsides include the kayaks being locked up and unable to be used easily, the fire pit being in a dark damp and buggy location, and finally, not fully realizing that there is truly only one bedroom with a door. This is a fine set up for a couple with kids, and all six of my friends and I technically had plenty of room to sleep and stay in the home, but it would have been nice if each of the three couples could have had proper privacy, or if the home could have been listed for cheaper due to the lack of privacy. Overall I have to say I really would come back in a heartbeat, but since my partner and I could never afford to rent the home alone for the week, we would again have to find others to join us who were willing and able to choose a week of vacation w no privacy. Which is fine for some I suppose! But not quite a fit for me ;)

Review by Brandon S.
Everything was very well maintained. Like stepping back in time reminiscent of when I was growing up and visiting my grandparents at their lake cottage. The property and location was amazing. Unique home with a wooded trail down to a quiet beach front. Crystal clear waters and long stretches of beach made this the perfect place for long walks, runs, kayaking, SUP boards, or just lazing in a beach chair. Also a great place to ride bikes. Roads up there are peaceful and go on for forever. Only issue was the refrigerator. It did not seem to get cold enough and some of our food spoiled. I'm sure it will be addressed as this home is well cared for. Several restaurants in town to chose from only a few miles away but we cooked at home during our entire week long stay. Cell service was nonexistent (not a bad thing :) but Wi-Fi worked well. Look forward to returning!

Our Review of The Northern Lights Lake Michigan Northport

         

Review date: 2014-10-26

Review by
Beautiful view of the water from large, many windowed living /dining area. This saved the day since it was rainy and low 40's all week-end. Fortunately, watching the waters of the Great Lakes is an awe inspiring experience in any weather. Thank you so much for allowing dogs! All 3 were content in the large living area and had fun running down the shore when we ventured out into the cold. The location feels pleasantly remote from city life, yet is close to a few small towns (we stopped in Leland, Sutton's Bay and Northport) with interesting shops, restaurants and winery's. Travis City is about 30 minutes away (you drive through it coming and going) and offers many opportunities for vacation fun. The Sleeping Bear Dunes are not that much farther and are a must see if you have the time to be amazed. Only two negatives were the price (it is expensive) and the small fruit fly like insects that can fit through screens. They don't bite or land on you but you can see them flitting around the kitchen. Still, it's a beautiful place and we would like to go there again.

A group of my friends and myself spent a weekend at this property and it was absolutely beautiful. The view of Lake Michigan from the deck was breath taking and the beach was easily accessible. It easily accommodated 6 people. It was extremely well stocked with plates, glasses, cookeware, etc. They also had a very nice grill and firewood for bonfires. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend on Lake Michigan.

Review by Geoff J.
A very serene and peaceful location on a bluff above beautiful Lake Michigan. Weather was cool but pleasant for September. Thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet and strolls along the miles of beach. Cottage was well appointed, needed nothing. Very clean, and an ideal location. Grocery shopping in nearby Northport, adventures to Charlevoix, Leland and Traverse City. An excellent vacation, our second year here. I would recommend to anyone, especially since it is pet friendly. Dogs loved it too. (don't forget it has WiFi, too)

Review by Sherry K.
This place was an absolute gem. Very peaceful and relaxing. The cottage itself was big enough for six overnight. We did have other family there during the day which was fine. Just crowded. This place had everything we needed, including everything needed to fix a meal, such as bowls, etc. The cottage was very clean. The best part was being right on Lake Michigan. We had neighbors but we still felt it was very private. The beach was beautiful, but rocky. So take your beach shoes to walk the beach. We would defiantly stay again, if not this cottage ( if we need more room next time)then something close by, on the beach. The only negative things were no phone service and we ran out of propane gas in the middle of a big cook out and had to run to town to get a refill tank. But neither were a big deal for us. Also just FYI garbage day is not Wednesday it is Tuesday morning. Sorry we found out too late.

Northern Lights/ Christmas Cove Getaway

         

Review date: 2012-10-25

Review by Tom P.
The house was well kept, and met our needs for an extended weekend getaway with our dogs. The view of Lake Michigan was fantastic. The beach was awesome for rock hunting and long walks at sunset. Found a few Petoskey stones too, so my goals were met for a memorable vacation. Close enough to Northport, Leland, Sutton's Bay, Grand Traverse Lighthouse and Sleeping Bear Dunes to round out our trip.

I'd love to tell you to steer clear of this place and keep it all to my self, but that would be wrong... This is a very comfortable cabin and a great place to unplug (no cell service for AT&T or Verizon which was a plus for us). You are close enough to Traverse City, North Port, and Sutton's Bay yet removed enough to enjoy nature. Please note we were here on a rainy weekend in October, so we didn't get the full experience of time on the beach, etc. Still worth the trip!

We enjoyed our stay would be an understatement. What a wonderful place to unwind. The house had virtually everything you would need and then some. Sunsets on lake michigan are awsome every night. We will be back.

One of the best kept secrets in Northern Michigan is Christmas Cove. Got to love it!

Mid September stay at Northern Lights

Review by David G.
We had a wonderful week at the house. It was very relaxing and restorative. We especially like the fact that we were there at an off-peak time and frequently felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Our dog has been depressed since we left because he enjoyed the long walks and playing in the water so much.

Some areas in bathroom appeared to have black mold and stains on bedspread in lower level bedroom. Helpful hints would be beneficial to rid of the fruit flys for future guests. Overall a cozy and convienent stay.

Our family of 4 (2 teenagers) had a great trip. We love that it was out of the way but close enough to the other towns to drive in when we wanted (the drives were beautiful.)We would go back.

Summer Solstice at the Dome House

         

Review date: 2011-06-27

Review by Lorri W.
Loved our stay at the Dome House! Weather was not as summer like as hoped for but a good time was had in spite of it. The house's architecture is very unique and charming. Everything was very clean and well stocked. Neighbors were helpful and friendly too. Beach walks were wonderful. Great location to get away from it all yet just a short drive into town for some great little galleries, book store and eateries.
