Located off M-22 on N. Manitou Trail is Jolli-Lodge — A hidden gem and classic Lake Michigan resort that charms anyone who visits.
With access and views of Lake Michigan and numerous lodging options available, the property and its many amenities make it not only an idyllic place to stay, but also a surreal and peaceful location to experience the beauty of Leelanau County.
The history of how Jolli-Lodge came to be the iconic site that it is today dates back more than a half century ago. Ruth and Keith Jolliffe, as well as Keith’s parents’ Grace and Evered, purchased the property in 1956. Both Keith and Ruth had other jobs during the off-season. Keith taught school in Glen Arbor for 10 years and Ruth was a secretary for years at Leland Public School.
