"We enjoyed a nice, quiet stay on a beautiful Fall weekend. Our only issue was that the dvd player did not work--power came on but the tray would not open. I'm sure the owners have corrected that issue by now. The owners were very reponsive, especially when we locked a cell phone in the cottage when we were ready to depart--solved in a few minutes via text. We would stay here again."

"Very clean beautiful chalet-style cottage. Great location to launch from while exploring the Leelenau Penninsula. Wall controls for lighting and overhead fan not labeled, resulting in some difficulty figuring things out. No Wi-Fi available, or at least not communicated to us if it was present."

"My only concern is the safety of the steps I had to navigate to and from the condo. There were railings for some of the steps, but not all, and those were scary. I'm 76 and not nearly as steady or confident as I used to be. I took my walking sticks and that's how I navigated the rail-less steps. These are only 2 or 3 steps long, but with no railing to steady me, they are a horrifying fall risk. I brought the sticks so that I could hike up and down dunes on my way to the lakeshore. I used them to...

"The location of this house is impeccable. It’s a pleasant 10 minute walk to empire beach, and even closer to the little strip of shops and restaurants. Yet, it’s super quiet and peaceful. The home itself was nice and warm when we arrived like it was waiting for us, which we appreciated because it was chilly outside. Home was clean and we also appreciated that there wasn’t an insane list of check out chores like some places have - just basic cleaning up after yourself such as doing your dishes,...
