Hotel Northern was established on July 4, 1903 by Frank Hahnenberg - a Leelanau local who had returned from adventures on the west coast. Here, on the corner of the main intersection in town, Hahnenberg built his grand hotel from local lumber and stone, and in doing so, created one of the most recognizable buildings in the village. More than a century later, this iconic Colonial structure still stands proudly, thanks to the restoration efforts of the current owners who have lovingly cared for and improved this fabulous property over the last 20 years. This special offering includes 3 platted lots, all commercially zoned. The original hotel - now a residence - and detached guest house - a successful rental - sit on 2 lots, while a single vacant parcel remains adjacent, to the west. Structurally, this vintage home has been made sound. Architecturally, it is a masterclass in craftsmanship, quality, and style, seamlessly blending historical elements with inspiring modern highlights. Beautiful original hardwood floors quietly echo a century of living, and are in good company amongst other heirloom elements such as a cast-iron tub, vintage wallpaper, and a Victorian mantle. Newer features compliment these historical pieces - including floor to ceiling built-in bookshelves with minimalist trim and detailing, rough-sawn wooden beams which open the plan, and energy efficient elements such as new windows and solar panels. Whenever possible, reclaimed or recycled natural materials have been incorporated into this home. This sensibility and attention to the environment carries through to the landscaping which features wild native plants corralled by custom stone walls and walkways, a trellised path to a sundrenched lawn, and a private patio overlooking a water garden of koi and flowering lily pads. This exceptional listing offers exciting versatility. Whether a dream residence or Lake Leelanau’s next hot commercial destination, this property is ready for the next chapter!

The moment you set foot on the land surrounding vintage Mossy Bank cottage, you will feel the magic that exists here on North Lake Leelanau. Transported back in time to the days of original owner, Michigan cartographer John Nellist, you can just imagine someone like Ernest Hemingway writing in a chair near the old stone fireplace. Remodeled and expanded in 1974 (by the second and current owner) with the ultimate in beauty and functionality by renowned Suttons Bay architect Roger Hummel, the current cottage is anything but cookie-cutter yet features the hallmarks of Hummel's craft throughout including the white stucco interior and exterior, the rough sawn hardwood floors and peeled cedar rafters, and the peg ladder up to the kids' sleeping loft. The original living room still contains many elements from Nellist's construction - the '1921' carved into one of the beams above the fireplace, the windows from an old school house, the fireplace swing arm from an old log cabin, the fireplace hood made from an old copper boiler, and the native hemlock floors coated with boiling linseed oil. The family room features with a cushioned window bench, built-in side tables and storage shelves/cabinets, and a giant middle table ideal for crafts, projects, and family meals. Not one detail is overlooked in the foyer, with a sliding galvanized tin boot tray, a wall for hanging items with movable pegs, and a wall of storage cabinets designed to blend into the tongue-and-groove interior (you'll find the same cabinets in the laundry room). Thoughtfully placed skylights and windows throughout fill the space with generous natural light and create architectural interest. The boiler was upgraded to a state-of-the-art system in 2023 with an on-demand water heater. The 126' of waterfront is a rippled hard-sand bottom - ideal for swimming and boating, and it's west-facing frontage hosts breathtaking sunsets. So many memories have been created here - it's time for your memories to begin.
