Wonderful lake house

Family of 7 enjoyed a week in this lovely comfortable home on Lake Leelanau. Easy drive to so many attractions, but favorite activity was just enjoying the deck, the yard and the water. Especially great for our 5 yo grandson— a little beach with an assortment of sand toys.

Great family getaway

Very clean property with lots to do for the whole family! We used the double kayaks and SUPs a ton! Lots of room for cornhole, playing catch etc with the kids. The sunroom inside is the best feature in the house, with great views of the lake!

Great spot for fun on the water

We had a great time at this family home. The house has a great flow and offers privacy with the setup of the bedrooms. The owners were responsive to a minor issue we had with the house and resolved the problem within a day. We were able to dock our boat at the solar powered dock and enjoyed splashing around in the water, which was shallow enough for kids to enjoy. We loved the house and look forward to coming back again soon!

Beautiful!

The place was perfect! We had a group of 8 women and there was enough room for us to spread out and cozy enough for us to feel right at home. The enclosed porch was awesome!

Family wedding

My siblings and Dad stayed at this cottage for a family wedding. It was a perfect stay. The 4 bedrooms and additional murphy bed worked great for our stay. The home was very clean and inviting. Mary Jo was an excellent host. She made us feel welcome and was very responsive and helpful.

Beautiful Property

By far one of the best rentals we have had. The property was clean, comfortable,organized, stocked with everything we needed, and beautifully located. Waterfront views are amazing as well as the property managers/owners. Any and all questions were answered quickly and the welcome gift was a pleasant surprise. We will definitely be back.

Family Vacation

This cottage is the perfect spot for a family vacation to the Leelanau Peninsula. The host was very responsive to all my questions and left us with a nice gift upon our arrival. We had five teens with us and there was plenty of room to spread out in the cottage and also outside. Would stay at this property again.

Perfect stay on Lake Leelanau

We travelled to this beautiful home in mid-September, and were graced with lovely weather that allowed us to really appreciate the property. The home is large with a fantastic sun porch and spacious outdoor decks. We spent most mornings drinking coffee on the sun porch and enjoying the view. The home is very well equipped and we had everything we needed. The owner was always quick to respond to any questions and checked with us to make sure all was well. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. The home is perfectly located for touring Leelanau and the wineries, etc., and is roughly half way between Traverse City and Glen Arbor, which allowed us to visit and dine in both towns. Our only regret is that we didn't allow a day in our schedule to just hang out at the lake. It was the perfect early fall getaway!

Beautiful property

This was a gorgeous property and the pictures on the site don’t do it justice! Located on Lake Leelanau with a dock, beach, gorgeous deck. A ton of yard games. Our favorite was morning coffee in the sunroom! We had 6 adults and it slept very comfortably. Only thing I would suggest is another mirror or 2 in the house. 6 girls getting ready with 2 bathrooms was a little tricky, but we made it work! The owners were very accommodating and quick to respond with any questions. Our group is considering annual trips here because it was so perfect! :) 10 out of 10 recommend.

This was a great location for a family vacation. We felt right at home.

The home was perfect having been recently remodeled. The beach theme was a hit and the three season room was great to view the lake. Our grandson loved the play table and thoroughly enjoyed running in the yard and playing in the sand. This location is close to Traverse City, Lake Leelanau, Leland and Suttons Bay and all that these locations have to offer. It is also close to great golf courses. We made great family memories. We would highly recommend this location for your next family vacation.
