Our first family trip to Michigan

Our stay was short, but made lots of great memories of our time spent at Lake Leelanau. The cottage was cozy and in a great location for fishing, boating and family activities like visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes!

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.

Wonderful location and so much to do!

Really spacious lake house with updated bathrooms and great views of the lake. Our two teens enjoyed swimming, kayaking, SUP, and fishing here. And they liked using the separate bunk house for themselves. Great patio for dinner, drinks, cards, or just relaxing.

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!!

Amazing slice of pure Michigan

We had the best vacation in this sweet, charming, and perfectly set cottage. Everything we needed was there and clean and cozy. The pictures on the site are not as pretty in oerson

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.

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

Terrific

The entire experience was excellent. You're close to everything but far enough away. The water is clear and beautiful and the property was well maintained. The bunk house was excellent for the kids. There is an excellent golf course a few minutes away, a national park and a super convenient grocery store. I definitely recommend this place and I will stay there again.

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.

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.

The outdoors were great right on the lake, good location. House inside too rustic.

Enjoyed the location and that was all. The house needs a lot of work, no good windows looking at the lake. Not worth the money.

Fun Lakeside Getaway!

We enjoyed our time at the cozy cottage. Much time was spent on the water fishing, kayaking, and SUP. The house also comes with a canoe that we occasionally used to visit Boathouse Vineyards. We have two teenage boys who enjoyed their privacy in the bunk house. The home was spotless and the cabinets well-stocked. At night we stargazed at the waterfront fire pit. The property is large, walking distance to the Narrows and a short drive to Leland and Suttons Bay. The property manager was great to work with - we communicated with her in the weeks leading up to our trip, and she checked in with quick messages during our stay. Would definitely stay here 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

Great lake location

The location was great. The kids liked the bunk house. The house itself has had some updates. New BBQ. The kitchen appliances are new. No dishwasher. The cabinets are repainted, which is fine, but very old with drawers that are broken. The counter top was repainted formica which is odd. The checkout process asked that we clean the house and wash the sheets before we left, which we did. Not fond of that as we go on vacation so we can get away from house work. Would have preferred that they charged a cleaning fee so that we didn't have to do any cleaning or laundry on the morning we left. Overall it was good for what we needed.

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.

Unkept Cabin on the Lake

I have stayed at a few VRBO's and this was the worst experience I have ever had. The property manager got our arrival date wrong so there were dirty sheets on the floor and the house was not cleaned when we arrived. Once we finally got a hold of her she did end up sending someone. They were only there a short time to give us sheets (not make the beds) and clean the bathrooms. The floors were full of sand, the open shelf that the dishes were on was dirty, the drawers in the kitchen were filthy and there were no regular spoons and little amounts of the other silverware. We reached out to the property manager again the next morning to tell her our dissatisfaction of the condition of the house. She proceeded to let us know she does not charge a cleaning fee and expects everyone to clean up after themselves. There is a list that you have to do before you leave but these things clearly were not done by the people before us. It is unrealistic that people are going to clean thoroughly. An inspection should be done so every renter has a fresh start with clean floors and general maintenance things including mowing the grass. She did offer to have someone come over and clean again but by that time I had already cleaned and did not want to be inconvenienced by having to wait for them to come over. After telling her I did not want anyone to come I heard nothing from her. I felt we should have been compensated for the inconvenience of having to spend the first part of our vacation cleaning. They charge a linen fee, I folded all the towels that were in dryer myself and we had to start a load before we left so not sure what this charge is for. The only good thing about the house was being on the water but it would have been nice if there was a ladder on the dock so you didn't have to get in on the slippery rocks.
