Impressions: beautiful view, very clean, ample parking, easy check in, very pleasant manager, 5 minutes to Leland, 15 minutes to Sutton’s Bay. We stayed here for a week in August for a family reunion. The house was perfect for our family. 7 adults and 4 children/ toddlers. The manager texted me a few days before check in to see if I had any questions. She gave me her number in case I had problems. I guess the BBQ died the week before, but she arranged and delivered a brand new BBQ for our week. Can’t say enough nice things about this rental.

The house was large with lots of bedrooms, though the layout was a little awkward with one bedroom also serving as a passthrough. The view of the water and access to the lake was nice, but the lake is separated from the house by M22. Crossing the highway was a little stressful, especially with children. The kitchen is very small and outdated and some minor amenities like the trash can and hairdryer need to be replaced. The property manager was very thoughtful and checked in with us after a strong thunderstorm knocked out power in the area (we were fine).

Hi Nick, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the beautiful lake views, the spacious layout, and that our property manager took good care of you during that storm. We appreciate your honest notes regarding the layout and the kitchen size they are a fixed part of the house and we try our best to show what they look like in the listing pictures. Because we want every stay to be seamless, we are replacing the trash can and hairdryer you mentioned, thank you for pointing those out! Best wishes to you and your family.

Beautiful location right on Lake Leelanau with stunning views and easy access to the water. The house was very spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great stay. The host was responsive and made the entire process simple — we’d definitely come back.

We stayed for a week in June. We felt the house could of been cleaner, floors were dirty, one toilet dirty and the sheets did not smell clean at all. Downstairs bedroom had a very weird musty chemical smell, we had to stop and get an air fresher for it. The layout is definitely difficult when the back bedroom you are stuck in if someone is in bathroom and middle bedroom is pass through. It was sufficient for week, but would not recommend.

Hi LeaAnn, thank you for the review. We are sorry to hear that the cleaning of the house didn’t meet your standards. We are always wanting to provide a great/clean house for people to enjoy all that Leland has to offer. We are working with the property manger to ensure that the property is well taken care of each week.

Planning a family reunion with family in 5 different states is not easy. Having spent our summers in upper Michigan, we knew that our destination would be somewhere in Michigan, ideally on the west coast; we decided on the Traverse City area. We found Drake’s Bluff in Leland that was big enough for everyone.What a fantastic find! Beautiful home perched on a bluff overlooking Lake Leland.Enough bedrooms and baths to accommodate everyone. Outside areas with large deck and Firepit were amazing. Two full kitchens and living areas! Bonus was the shuffle board table and nightly tournamentsWe had an issue with the WiFi on Sunday right before World Cup final. A call to property manager Jodi, had that issue resolved immediately. In fact Jodi was available and accommodating during our entire stay.Location couldn’t have been better with Leland, Fish Town, Glen Arbor, Sutton’s Bay, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Empire, and Traverse City, all close by..The only issue is that it is a bit hard to find. Maybe signage would help. But once you do find it, you are in for a treat!This truly was a great place for our family reunion. 10/10 recommendation!
