Rentals Under $1800
Whether you choose to stay in a Homestead condo or one of our many cottages and homes in Leelanau County, all of the below rent for $1800 or less a week during the busy summer months! Some have a lower rate because they are smaller, and some have a lower rate because they are just a little ways out of Glen Arbor. Check out their fall, winter and Christmas rates if you’re looking for an especially economical “off-season” visit!
Seasonal Rates:
*Peak summer rentals are weekly, and turnover days are designated in the property’s description. From time to time, certain condominiums in The Homestead may rent for less than a week in the summer (please inquire!).Fall, winter, and spring seasons have two night minimums, and holidays have three night minimums (with exception given to our “distance” properties, which always have three night minimums). There are also certain seasons, such as early spring, and very late summer, when we rent for full weeks in homes and cottages, and three night minimums in condominiums. However, with any season, we often have “last minute” flexibility and run special rates and deals!*
Please feel free to inquire with any questions regarding seasons and rate rules.
