Mary Lee was so wonderful and explained everything to us and we used the kayak and fire pit and enjoyed her fresh baked bread that I had with some cheese, location was wonderful and very peaceful in the morning sitting outside on the deck with a cup of coffee, hearing those birds chirping. Everything was extremely clean and she had thought of everything, including a Band-Aid which I needed. Can't say enough about this great place!

This property was simply amazing! The host was incredibly welcoming and gave us a tour of the property upon arrival. She even baked us a loaf of delicious bread!My sister’s daughter and I brought Mom to celebrate her 73rd birthday. We started our first night with a campfire in the fire pit, talking and laughing late into the evening. There was also an amazing path leading down to the lake, where we watched the sunset.The property was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable, the living room was quaint and cozy, and the bathroom was spacious. There were plenty of blankets, towels and pillows for everyone.If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay while visiting Traverse City and the amazing wineries, I highly recommend Harrison’s Hideaway!Thank you for the wonderful getaway!

We will return here again and again! This was such a great trip for our family of six. Mary Lee is such a great host. She is beyond gracious. She made sure to give us the warmest welcome with the most delicious bread, which my children immediately devoured. The location is beautiful. The house is awesome and this was the perfect summertime getaway. We will definitely recommend this place to all of our family and friends. Thank you for such an amazing time!

Great Family Week in July

We had the best time at this property - it was very relaxing to hang out in the large yard or home and to walk down to the nearby dock and enjoy the chairs and kayaks there. Our family of four can't wait to come back!

My family and I absolutely loved the property! We couldn’t have asked for a better location or house to stay at. The location on Lake Leelenau is amazing and minutes from some of the best restaurants in the area. Mary Lee and Doug are amazing hosts and two of the kindest and most thoughtful people. We cannot wait until the next time we are able to come back.

Private Spot

Our family had a wonderful time. It is a very quiet and private space. The very short walk to the dock (about 1-2 minutes) was no trouble at all. Mary Lee is an excellent host.

Warm and comfortable home away from home!

This was our first experience with VRBO and we couldn’t have been more delighted. We felt so welcomed and comfortable - it was more like we were staying in a friend’s or family member’s home than a stranger’s house. We had every accommodation we needed and more (like a luxurious waterfall shower and a freshly baked loaf of bread!). This was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend this property to anyone - especially families with children. We truly felt like part of the family.

Harrison's Hideaway is a gem

The location, property, and the home itself were all wonderful. This is a pretty idyllic spot. The home is simple but very comfortable and Mary Lee was great! We made good use of the fire pit and loved Farm Club just a couple miles away. This was our first time in the area and loved checking out all the bakeries, beaches, and quaint little towns. There's a paved trail less than a mile away that goes all the way to Sutton's Bay. Great for riding, running or walking.

This is a beautiful property. It has a private, secluded feel. The beds were comfortable, and it had all of the amenities we needed in the kitchen. The lake was peaceful while were there, and we enjoyed the kayaks that Mary Lee provided. The fire pit was also very nice, stocked with plenty of fire wood. We heard loons calling while we were roasting marshmallows. The lawns and landscaping were pristine and were very well cared for. We enjoyed our stay, and highly recommend it! Mary Lee, our hostess, was very gracious and thought of everything her guests could possibly need.

Perfect

We had such an amazing time here! Great central location where we could explore a different town or activity each day within just a short drive. But also loved the access to Lake Leelanau with the Kayaks - perfect for all of us, including the kids to learn how to kayak solo. Also easy to hop onto the Leelanau Trail just up the road for bike riding, which was beautiful at sunset. The house was great, bigger than expected, very clean and very comfortable. Will definitely be back, the host was very kind and accommodating.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Comfortable bed, nice shower, remote controlled gas fireplace, newer appliances. Mary Lee was a great host, even bringing us a loaf of her fresh baked bread. The house was the perfect size for my wife and I. We had a fire outside most evenings. They had plenty of firewood and fire starters. Taking the path down to the lake was fun. Sitting on the dock in morning with our coffee or in the evening with a bottle of wine for sunset was great. We loved the surrounding property and the location. Easy to get to the wineries, Sutton's bay, Leland, lake Michigan, hiking/biking trails, and restaurants.

Hideaway for Fall

Harrison Hideaway was the perfect place for our Fall Break. The owner, Mary, was an incredibly gracious and welcoming hostess. She greeted us at the property with warm homemade bread and gave us a tour. The Hideaway had everything we wanted - enough space for the 5 of us, a well stocked fire pit, kitchen and all the appliances, and cozy living room to wind down from a day around the area. The Hideaway is just steps from the Lake with kayaks which was perfect for my wife to escape with no one else on the water. It's location is near a hike/bike trail spur, surrounded by farms, a short drive from Traverse City. Basically anywhere around the Sleeping Bear area was within a short drive. Even after leaving, my daughter forgot her earrings and the owner was so considerate to mail them back to us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Hideaway to anyone wanting an autumn recharge!

Lovely cabin, great location with proximity to lots of great small towns around Traverse City

We had a fantastic time with our 4 year old and 2 year old at Harrison's Hideaway. Host Mary Lee welcomed us with fresh bread that she baked and that set the tone for a cozy end-of-summer week in gorgeous Lake Leelanau. As indicated the lake is a short walk away through some woods which is actually ideal for families with small kids like ours. We loved sitting on the dock and using the available kayaks, and the kids loved playing in the shallow sandy parts of the water. We've been going to Leelanau County for years, and the location of Harrison's Hideaway is fantastic - 10 minutes to Suttons Bay and Traverse City, and about 20 minutes to Leland. You have multiple grocery store, restaurant, and local produce options that are very short scenic drives away. Mary Lee had excellent local recommendations as well. Don't let the lack of washer/dryer scare you. It took us about an hour to both wash and dry our clothes in the large commercial machines at the laundromat in Suttons Bay. You can use that time like we did at the playground on the beach or just walk around town. Thanks Mary Lee for a great week and we hope to stay again at Harrison's Hideaway!

Perfect - We Can't Wait to Go Back Again..!

Our family enjoyed one of the greatest summer vacations we’ve ever had at Harrison’s Hideaway! The property itself could not be more perfect. The cabin has a full kitchen, dining table and all of the essentials provided which was perfect for preparing breakfast and those days we wanted to enjoy a home-cooked meal, brunch. It’s a great mix of nature-surrounded cabin with modern ammenities. There is both a coffee maker and even a Keurig, so pack your favorite coffee! Very comfortable, tucked away, clean with solid wifi for planning the day ahead. The back porch patio was one of my favorite spots for quiet morning coffee, enjoying bird watching, and perfect for stargazing at night. There is a great firepit with plenty of wood provided for s’mores or just hanging out to cap off a great day with an IPA. A short natural path leads you to the warm waters of Lake Leelanau, we really enjoyed sunset from the dock and there are even kayaks provided. Very centrally located with Leland, Northport, Sutton’s Bay, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Old Mission Point and downtown Traverse City all short drives away. There is even a new Costco in TC to stock up for the week. The land surrounding the property is spacious, private and serene. The property owners are fantastic - super friendly and you are treated like guests - they are eager to share this slice of heaven with you knowing that for many this is one week a year to really get a way and enjoy Pure Michigan. They are great. If your travel dates are available you are truly in luck! Grab it up; we can’t wait to go again.
