Airy Fake Rock Guesthouse in Leelanau County

Built in the early 1900s and completely renovated in 2021, our light-filled home features open plan living and a brand new kitchen any chef will love. Its central location in Maple City makes for easy access to all of our favorite spots in Leelanau County. Our Leelanau County guidebook is -- if I do say so myself -- an excellent resource, but please feel free to reach out to us if you need any additional recommendations!

The home features a modern-industrial design and was a joint collaboration between the members of the artistic Staley/Gretzinger clan. Together, we oversaw the complete renovation of the home and have thoughtfully placed various pieces of art throughout the space, each with its own uniqueness and meaning.

Overview of the space:

-Main floor: living/entertainment room, dining room, full kitchen, laundry room, full bathroom, mudroom

-Upstairs: 3 bedrooms, full bathroom

-Exterior: front yard + porch, backyard + porch + fire pit + utility shed, 2-car driveway

Guests will have access to all spaces inside and outside of the home during their stay; the exception is the unfinished basement, which is behind a locked door.

Chris is the dedicated cohost and will be your point of contact during your trip.

It`s unlikely that you`ll meet him in person, but he is always available via the booking app, text, or mobile and is quite responsive to inquiries.

Please don`t hesitate to reach out it you have any questions about the accommodations, area, or you booking.

Ps. If for some reason Chris needs to visit the property, he will notify and confirm with guests prior to coming out.

Welcome to Maple City, Michigan, ideally situated in the heart of Leelanau County. Go twenty minutes in any direction to see the region’s sights: Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, Glen Arbor, Leland, Interlochen Center for the Arts, wineries, breweries, hiking trails and the pristine freshwater beaches of Lake Michigan.

Clean and fully stocked!

We enjoyed staying here for the Fourth of July. Close to so many towns. We enjoyed the convenience of the restaurant and gas station/store right next door. Cleanliness is always number one for me and my family and this place was spotless inside. We would definitely go back!

Weekend Getaway

We did an extended weekend in Michigan to just get away. The house is definitely off the beaten path. The restaurant next door is great. The house is centrally located though, so we could hit up all the tourist traps!

Amazing

We had an amazing time as a family. The host was quick to answer questions and made my first experience using VRBO seemless. The home has so much to offer and the extras made us feel like it was home. The location is perfect for visiting all of the areas “must sees” and being able to retreat home and relax around the fire each night, made the vacation even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Perfect house and location!

This was a perfect place to stay centralized to all the places we wanted to visit. We enjoyed smores in the large backyard each night and felt the home was so cozy to come back to after a day at the beach.
