Vacation Rental Description
HILLTOP LOG LODGE is one of the more expensive rentals in the Traverse City area, as the owners have created something out-of-the-ordinary for its guests. The intent is to put together a special experience in a rustic yet refined lodge environment. 
 
LODGE AMENITIES: Besides the spectacular views over West Bay, Power Island, Old Mission and Traverse City, there is the spaciousness of 8000 square feet and the uniqueness of this hand-built lodge. Inside this hilltop fortress of a home and underneath the massive, handpeeled timbers of its roof structure, all has been outfitted with plush towels, great bedding, handmade furnishings, and original artwork. Four of its five bedrooms are suites (each with a private bath) providing comfort and solitude for groups, couples, and families. There are numerous sitting rooms, lofts, and a den for quiet reading, relaxing and movies. The sound system throughout the house joins the guests together wherever they may be inside - as well as on the lawn and the bayside porch. There are hundreds of CDs in the house collection as well as I-Pod hookup. The giant TV in the Game Room has become the spot for some guests to watch movies or sports while enjoying the pool table or table tennis without disturbing the rest of the lodge. Others prefer to retreat to the quieter, tucked-away office to check email, although WI-FI provides coverage to most areas in the lodge. 
 
ACCOMMODATIONS: A maximum of 14 people can be lodged comfortably in the 5 bedrooms, the open, semi-private loft and the den (there are one king suite, three queen bedroom suites, one bedroom with one queen bed and a twin bed, the loft with the two twin hickory beds, and the den with one twin hickory bed). 
 
THE KITCHEN: This space is designed for entertaining with a professional gas range and double ovens, all overseen by a curved granite bar for guests to sit and have a glass of wine while dinner is prepared. There is a second dishwasher in the pantry near the greatroom, and this space doubles as the coffee bar and upstairs wine bar. For convenience, the cupboards are stocked with basic foodstuffs, and there is a full set of Wusthof knives, a wok and Le Crueset cookware to use on the Viking range. With a shelf of cookbooks to peruse, it’s time to try something new in this fun kitchen- grilling pizza is one thing that we’re enjoying this year. A powerful gas grill stands just outside adjacent to the kitchen. 
 
DINING AT THE LODGE: The evening meal is best served on snow-white dinnerware sitting at the handmade, expansive cottonwood table in the greatroom. Linen napkins, candles, subtle lighting, a crackling wood fire, chilled music, a moonlight view over the bay all combine to make the evening meal here a most memorable experience. There are other tables inside and outside on the covered bayside porch for the informal times. Full sets of glassware stock both the upstairs pantry as well as the lower bar in the game room. 
 
THE SETTING: Treetop privacy and an expansive bay view highlight this distinguished property. In addition, there is over 200' of private water frontage and a dock, making this a most significant combined waterfront/view property in the Grand Traverse area. The lodge sits on 5 very private acres with unobstructed views across 10 miles of Grand Traverse Bay to the twinkling lights of Traverse City in the evening. Leelanau is Michigan Wine Country, and Hilltop Log Lodge is at the heart of it, with 5 wineries within walking/biking distance. 
 
The website at HilltopLogLodge dot com features more photos to give a perspective of the property, the rooms of the lodge, and of course, the extraordinary views. Please call or email Richard or Jeff with any question.
