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.
