Welcome to Cedar Creek Bed & Breakfast... Our home is an historic American four-square located on Timberlee Mountain, in beautiful Leelanau County close to Traverse City. We have three guest rooms and numerous indoor/outdoor common areas for guests to enjoy. Our setting features flowering shrubs, trees, perennials, a water garden and rustic, wooded countryside views.

We're located 6 1/2 miles northwest of Traverse City on the Leelanau Peninsula. Leelanau County offers the best in scenic countryside, panoramic hilltop views and quaint villages such as Leland, Sutton's Bay and Northport, making touring a pleasure.

Shopping, dining and nightlife are within minutes plus a variety of other recreational pursuits including boating, fishing, swimming, picnicking, golf, horseback riding, skiing and more.

Many local farms offer shops with fresh fruit and baked goods, as well as herbs and herbal products, flowers and vegetables. There are several wineries located throughout the county with tasting rooms, scenic verandas and charming garden patios.

Water Garden Living Room

Our neighborhood is part of a former ski resort and is crisscrossed with numerous hiking and biking trails. Tennis courts are just down the road and we are members of the Timberlee Beach Club, providing guests with access to Lake Leelanau for boating, swimming, sunbathing and picnicking. There are two backyard decks at the B&B, and other viewing areas overlooking the water garden. The gardens are enclosed in a half circle of 30' white pines, punctuated by secret pathways, foxglove, lilies, iris, hosta, astilbe and ornamental grasses among flowering shrubs and evergreens. A comfortable front porch furnished with a twig chair and settee and looking out at the perennial border and Leelanau County provides a cozy, conversation area. We do have friendly pets and smoking is allowed in outdoor areas. Our sitting room, like most rooms, is furnished with antiques and comfortable, cushy seating, and is available with a glass-fronted wood stove, TV and lots of games, books and current magazines.

Dining Room

Breakfast is served each morning in the dining room. We can accommodate up to 8 people, or if you choose, you may eat outdoors. Meals always feature lots of fresh fruit, gourmet coffee, herbal teas, homemade muffins, breads and bagels, cream cheese, fat-free and regular yogurt, a variety of juices and other tasty surprises.

Stone Steps To Side Porch

Cedar Creek Bed & Breakfast is an original Greilick family home. Built in 1892, it was located on the corner of M-22 and Cherrybend Road for over 100 years in a small community called Greilickville. In the Spring of 1990, we had the house moved to its new location here on Timberwoods Drive. A picture album is available if you would like to see the preparation, relocation and new creation process.

• Mi casa, su casa
• The back decks and front porch, benches and other secret paths and hidden spots are available to enjoy the gardens, being outdoors and private conversations.
