Roses: The property is the ideal size for two and strategically situated right on 22, so you can easily hop on 22 or zip over to 204 and get anywhere in Leelanau county without overthinking it. We hauled our whole "vacation kitchen" setup along for dedicated cooking nights, but I was genuinely thrilled by the tableware situation. They stocked real-deal pieces like Duralex, Villeroy & Boch, and Vietri, which instantly made everything feel intentional and chic (if you care about those details, and I very much do). You'll wake up to the golden sunrise over Lake Leelanau every morning which was beautiful and memorable. (A quick note on the view: the listing photos show water without specifying what it is, so I naturally assumed Lake Michigan given the area. Once we arrived, it was clear you are actually looking out over Lake Leelanau from an elevated spot across the way.)Thorns: The cottage sits right along 22, meaning the deck gets a steady stream of highway traffic noise. Eating outside was still lovely, just a little less serene than I pictured. The good news is the interior is surprisingly quiet, so you will not hear a thing once you step inside. I do wish the listing was a bit more upfront about being right on the main road just so you know what to expect, but honestly, it is a wonderful spot and we loved our stay.
