Description

The Log – A Historic Waterfront Retreat on the Leelanau Peninsula Step into a rare blend of history and natural beauty at The Log, a stunning waterfront property that was once home to Camp Caho—a prestigious girls' summer camp that operated from 1916 through the 1930s. Nestled just north of Northport on land originally owned by the esteemed Haserot family, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers a seamless mix of heritage and modern comforts. Perched along the pristine shoreline, The Log provides breathtaking water views and direct access to the beauty of Northern Michigan’s coastline. The property includes a spacious separate garage with an apartment addition, offering endless possibilities for guest accommodations or a creative workspace. Once a place of adventure and learning—where young women honed skills in horseback riding, swimming, paddling, and even automobile maintenance—Camp Caho’s legacy lives on within this home. Evenings once filled with music, poetry, and storytelling now give way to spectacular sunrises and the peaceful sounds of nature. Whether you're drawn to its deep historical roots, the unmatched waterfront setting, or the versatility of its modern amenities, The Log presents an extraordinary opportunity. Don’t miss your chance to own a truly unique piece of Leelanau Peninsula history.

About Grand Traverse Bay

Grand Traverse Bay is the portion of Lake Michigan south of a line extending from the northernmost tip of Leelanau Peninsula east to a point a bit south of Charlevoix.  It covers a surface area of 277 square miles of spectaular fresh water.  The southern half of the bay is further separated into East and West Grand Traverse Bays by Old Mission Peninsula.  Known for its spectacular rolling contours, awe inspiring views, and a climate ideal for grape growing, Old Mission Peninsula is a favorite destination for year round and seasonal residents as well as vacationers from around the globe.  Traverse City is the largest town along the shoreline of the bay and is located at the very southernmost point of West Grand Traverse Bay.  Other popular port villages include Elk Rapids, Suttons Bay, Northport, and Omena where marinas offer transient boat slips for lake-going visitors.  Fishing on the bays can be tremendous and just about any freshwater fish you can think of can be had at different times of year.  From carp to smallmouth bass to Lake Trout and Salmon and Steelhead, it truly is a world class fishery.  Sailing is a very popular pastime on West Grand Traverse Bay especially.  Smaller craft are usually safe, but care should be taken to watch the weather closely as with any large body of water.
