We had a wonderful time staying at the house. It was very nice to relax and have our coffee in the morning down by the water while the kids played on the beach. The only problem was our stay was too short.

This cottage had everything we were expecting and more! Dana was a wonderful host and extremely helpful when it came to the amenities of the cottage. The location in within walking distance to the town and is also on a private road with a cul de sac. The cottage was beautiful and well appointed, clean and fit all of us perfectly! We are so happy to have stayed at this property and would highly recommend it to others. Dana and Joe thought of everything when it came to this property. The outdoor shower was convenient for the kids and a unique feature. For the beach, bringing water shoes is a must because the shore leading to the water is very rocky and can't really be navigated comfortably with bare feet. The water is crystal clear and is good for wading and playing on the water mat. We liked that the water was calm for the kids to play in safely. We made use of the paddle boat to view the beautiful scenery during the day and enjoyed the fire pit at night...so much fun! Overall, I would highly suggest staying at this property because the owners were very helpful and polite in answering all of our many questions, the property was kept extremely clean, and the location was great!

My girlfirends and I rented this cottage and couldn't have been happier with it! The home is immaculately clean and charmingly decorated. The view is gorgeous! The grounds were well kept. We found it to be perfect for the 6 of us! The outdoor shower was a highlight!

Thank you for sharing your well equipped beautiful IKEA style home. It had everything we could have possibly wanted. We had laughs, fun in the water & on the mat, fires in the pit and wonderful meals. It was a perfect girls getaway.

Thanks for sharing your amazing house with our families. We will always remember this house as the awesome place with the cool mat in the lake. Most of our time in the days we'd play on that for hours! Thanks again.

We've arrived and are thoroughly enjoying your place in Northport. For the past several years this has been a favorite place of ours and your home is meeting our needs quite nicely. I can tell a lot of thought has gone into this place to make renters feel at home...thank you so much for that. It has been a pleasure to experience life on the lake, "bay side." We enjoyed the water, sunshine & your place. it was very accomodating for our families. I enjoyed a magnificent sunrise this morning. The colors changed minute by minute. Thanks for sharing your lovely place with us.

Plain and Simple ~ We love 571 On The Bay. The kids romped on the water mat. The water was clear and beautiful, and we felt immediately at home, in the comforts of this warm inviting place. "Up North" Michigan is the place we consider our happy place, and we are glad to ad Northport to our list of "a slice of heaven on earth." We will return to create more memories.

We had a great week "Up North" - our first family vacation in a while and first visit to Leelanau. Favorite activity was going to the water. Great house - great location - hope to return again.

We can't tell you how accurately how wonderful your setting in the beautiful landscape is. You certainly know and understand the mystique of Northern Michigan, most especially Northport. Thank you for sharing your magical home on the lake. We can't wait until next year.
