ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL VIEW and PROPERTY

My wife and I wanted a perfect getaway for our adult son and his beautiful wife and WE got it! This home and property on Lake Leelanau is stunning! The water views, sunrises, sunsets, the totally private large yard, beach, swimming, camp fire right by the water, the boat dock and all the many amenities were amazing! ! ! In addition, we were pleasantly surprised at the 2 bathrooms and the actual “living space size. It meant the world to us to spend quality bonding time with our family and it was wonderful! Thank you so very much! Dan

Traditional Lake Cottage

Great property that had everything needed for a Leelanau Peninsula week including a dock close to the narrows boat launch for our boat! Cottage was clean and comfortable with a large yard for games and lake time.

Beautiful setting.

Lake setting and proximity to all things is excellent. Initial hiccup was dealt with swiftly by manager. Cleanliness is lacking. Needs a good, deep cleaning throughout. Still would recommend. The lake is stunning.

We loved it!!

We were coming to town for a family wedding and needed a place nearby to stay, what a gem we found!! It is secluded but still close enough to walk or paddle into the downtown area to get a drink or dinner. It was so relaxing & peaceful! The home was very clean and up to date. We look forward to visiting again!!

Not worth the money

Screens were torn and no a/c, so unable to open windows due to bugs coming in. No closets, no dressers had to live out of suitcase. Countertops old and grimy, bad lighting, not very nice for the high price. Fridge froze our food that was on bottom shelf, coffee pot needs to be replaced or minimal cleaned

Exceeded our Expectations

The home is clean, spacious and suited our purposes perfectly. The pictures don’t do it justice, it’s right on the lake with tons of lake frontage. We rented a boat the entire time we stayed and the dock was great. Waking up to a view of the lake each morning was a treat.

Special Place!

We had such a wonderful week! Our family enjoyed the awesome fire pit, views of the lake, stars, and sunset, boating, paddle boarding, and canoeing, playing yard games, walking to lake Leelanau city and more. The bay was so calm we could tie off our boat on the dock! We also boated to leland for dinner, fish sandwiches, ice cream, vans beach, and shopping! The cottage is so close to glen arbor, suttons bay, sleeping. Bear dunes, traverse city, wineries, and lake michigan (good harbour bay was our fav!) which we enjoyed visiting. We didn't catch many fish off the dock but loved the wildlife and saw lots of turtles, swans, pike, beavers, ducks, water snakes, and a bald eagle! The north part of the lake was awesome for swimming, sandy bars, and sunsets. The south part was great for tubing and wake and knee boarding. The house had lots of outdoor seating, comfy beds, yard games, toiletries, stocked kitchen etc. All in all it was a peaceful place to enjoy 10 days in beautiful northern michigan. Kid reviews: “Great view of the lake” “Beds were comfy” “Loved the bunkhouse” “Had fun jumping foff the dock” “Felt homey” :)

Great stay on lake leelanau

Loved loved loved this house! The hosts were very responsive and communication was clear. We had three teens who stayed in the detached room on the side. Great location right around the corner from a coffee shop and right at the intersection between Leland and Sutton’s Bay. We were able to spend a day in the sleeping bear dunes and then another day in Traverse City. The kids had fun swimming in the lake off the dock. Great area for a campfire. Tons of outdoor seating. Host provided everything we needed - washer and dryer was key! At night we watched movies together on the couch. This was the perfect place for you if you just need a no frills vacation. That’s not to say it was dirty or shabby. Everything was very clean and the furniture was much newer than some of the other houses at this price point that we’ve stayed at in traverse city. We just didn’t want to pay a ton of money for a house that we weren’t going to be spending a lot of time in. There’s so much to do outside and around the area. We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Quick lake getaway

My husband and I took our mother and infant son with us for a weekend up north. Louann communicated ahead of time that some updates were in the process of being made and we were able to check in a little early. Location was great to everything Leland has to offer, other quaint towns are a quick car ride away. Definitely would stay here again if I had a smaller group as described above.

My husband and I really enjoyed staying here for a long weekend trip in August. The house was very clean and well equipped. The location was just perfect - we enjoyed sipping coffee while sitting by the beautiful lakefront of this property. Easy to get to Fishtown, Suttons Bay, and Traverse and Old Mission. We would happily stay here again.
