What a beautiful space for our Fall adventure! We loved sitting on the beach, watching the sunset with a glass of wine. Comfy bed and pillows. We loved the deep bathtub and had everything we needed. Ron and Theresa were perfect hosts! All the cute boutique towns were fun to explore! Our favorite trip thus far!

What a great place! This carriage house is beautiful, and looks/feels like it was just built yesterday. The hosts could not have been nicer or easier to communicate with. We will be looking for this place the next time we plan to be in the area!

We enjoyed our stay at the carriage house very much! Everything was extremely clean, the beds were comfortable and the grounds were lovely and well kept. Our family was mostly gone exploring the area during the day, but we really appreciated the opportunity to sit on the beach in the evening and enjoy the peacefulness. Many thanks to Theresa and Ron for hosting us.

Great communication, easy check-in, and a beautiful property. Loved every minute of it. Additionally, we had a fortuitous interaction with Ron, and he gave us a great tip on a festival going on in Northport. Made for an even better weekend than expected. Thanks so much!

Wonderful getaway in Leelanau!

We had a wonderful stay at the Carriage House- just beautiful and even more spacious than we were anticipating. We cooked a few times in the kitchen - definitely very well equipped. Quiet, peaceful, clean and relaxing, we had a fantastic trip! The house was perfection - and is in a great location as we made our way around the peninsula visiting many wineries. Thank you Theresa- we hope to stay with you again!

Beautiful cottage!

My sister and I came up for a weekend of wine tasting and shopping. This cottage was perfect for that. The location was great, a quick drive to Traverse City, Glen Arbor, and Suttons Bay. The cottage was super clean, the rooms were larger than we were expecting and it had everything we needed for a weekend away. The host answered questions we had immediately. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a relaxing getaway!

Anniversary Getaway

Our stay was wonderful. Theresa contacted us to share the check-in process. She was very friendly and helpful. The place was incredibly clean and well maintained. The colors and calming decor made the stay very relaxing. It was also located close to hiking opportunities and a multitude of good local restaurants. If we ever visit the area again we will definitely stay here.

Gorgeous property!

The Carriage house is in the perfect location to access Leland, Sutton’s Bay, Northport, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. The house is well equipped and immaculately clean. The owners were very response to any questions we had. Access to Lake Leelanau is just steps away and the entire property is gorgeous. We will definitely stay at the Carriage house again.

Leland cottage

Cottage was lovely and clean. The area is beautiful, but unfortunately we had cloudy and rainy days. We walked out to the water when we arrived and it's crystal clear, would have loved sitting there for awhile but weather didn't agree. Good food in the area and great shopping.

Absolutely delightful

Theresa and Ron are delightful hosts and the property is exactly as described. The carriage house is new, clean, and has all of the amenities you need for a great stay. It's ideal for two couples or in my case, for myself and my college age son. The living space is perfect, the outdoor space is private and with gardens that are impeccable. I texted Theresa a few times about a couple of questions and she replied instantly. Leland is the Land of Delight and the carriage house allows you to enjoy the town of Leland, the lake itself and it is simply blissful. I would definitely rent this carriage house again !

Absolutely beautiful!

Do not hesitate to book this Carriage House! Theresa is very quick to respond to any questions you have. The rental is spotless. The property grounds were stunning. A short walk up to the beach area past the main home has chairs and the water is crystal clear. The rental has its own little patio with firepit, wood and grill. There were k-cups which were much appreciated along with creamer. Makeup wipes in the bathroom. A nice cushiony tub mat in the shower. Super thick plush bath towels. Books to read, games to play. Too many perfect little touches provided to list! The bed was very comfy. If you like to sleep in, I would stay in the bedroom on the West side so the morning sun doesnt wake you. We are early risers so it wasnt an issue for us. The location is perfect. We visited Suttons Bay, Traverse City, Fishtown, Sleeping Bear Dunes and Vans Beach where I found some Leland Blues while rock picking. Fiddlers has an awesome breakfast and The Pour House is a very quaint local restaurant with delicious food. We will definitely be back when we take our next roadtrip!

This is a beautiful place to stay. It is very well appointed. The beach on Lake Leelanau is very nice. And if you want a day on a Lake Michigan beach there are several options nearby. Easy access to Leland and Northport. This was a very lovely property and true to its description.
