Perfect vacation home
We have stayed in several rental homes over many years and this was by far the best! It was very clean and accommodating. We did not notice any smell of cigarette smoke or anything else as previous review stated. The location was perfectly in the middle of everything! We highly recommend this property for families and couples. We are definitely looking forward to visiting again in the future.

Comfortable and functional
The house is in a great location near the town of Lake Leelanau, making it easy to get to Leland, Suttons Bay, and Glen Arbor. The layout makes really good use of the space and we had ample bedrooms for our party of 6. Everything was clean, and the process of getting in and out was easy. The bed linens and towels were all really fresh and seemed new. The kitchen had a somewhat random assortment of dishes - we cooked a fair amount and ate meals there and could have used some more bowls and spoons, and a tea kettle (we just used a pan to boil water for tea, which was fine). The giant mugs were great. My only one real issue was the strong smell of cigarette smoke. The house is non-smoking, but the whole thing really smelled like cigarettes when we got there, and there were air fresheners in every room to try to cover it. We opened up windows and aired it out the entire time we were there, and it did get better, but it never completely went away. If someone with bad asthma or a smoke allergy stayed there, I would imagine it could be difficult. We had an overall positive experience, and I feel bad complaining at all, but the cigarette smell was hard to ignore.

Great Location
We really loved the location of this property. It was close to everything and made it easy to get to. Great restaurants, beaches, close to Sleeping Bear Dunes.
The property itself was nice. It had the requirements and was very clean. Plenty of room for our group of 4 adults and 3 kids (6, 10 and 13). There were not beach toys, chairs or towels, but had everything else you would need.
My only complaint was the smell. There has obviously been a smoker in the home. I DO think they know and they're trying to mitigate it (they have odor eaters set up throughout the home). But it's something to be aware of if you're sensitive to that.
Overall it was a nice property.

Leelanau Adventures
The house was very clean and well maintained. It was in the perfect spot on the Leelanau Peninsula to access beaches on Lake Michigan, shops in various towns, and excellent wineries. The property served as a peaceful setting for relaxing and enjoying each other’s company after a couple of days of exploring the area.

Simple, convenient home for Leelenau County
We enjoyed our stay. Very convenient to Fishtown, Sleeping Bear, Traverse City, and more. The home was simple, tidy and fairly clean. The only real disappointment was a distinct odor of cigar smoke throughout. We were able to mitigate the odor with the AC and fans, but we would hope for a smoke-free environment in a non-smoking listing.
