What a gem, setting us down in the middle of paradise. Though the weather didn't cooperate this location at the marina, watching the boats travel through the narrows made for a relaxing space to sit back and read a book. Close to Leland, Suttons Bay, Glenn Arbor - everything we wanted to do and see!

Great place to stay in Leland, great location on the narrows.

We loved our stay - the property was right now the narrows with a large yard for the kids to run around. A lot of great places within walking distance for when you are not on the water. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Such a great stay! Very peaceful and super central on the Leelenau Peninsula so that you can easily visit all the cute towns. A lovely house, very cute. If you plan to work remotely, please note that the WiFi in the cottage wasn’t able to handle video calls, so we needed to use our hotspot from our phones instead.

Great Place/Awesome Location

My family of four (plus one small dog) loved this place! The location was ideal for us traveling to the Dunes, Glen Arbor, Traverse City and more! The place was big enough for the four of us and very clean. The town was super cute and you could walk to various restaurants to eat, coffee shop and grocery store. My kids loved that there was an ice cream place literally next door. We had a great time!

Adult retreat

Great place to stay. Accommodations were clean and well kept. Very quiet and private. Owners were on site and very respectful of our privacy. Across the water from the site is a wildlife sanctuary and you see lots of the wildlife it was very enjoyable. Also the location was centrally located to everything on Lake Leelanau and the northeastern side of Lake Michigan.
