We enjoyed our stay very much at this cute and well-equipped cottage on a beautiful, peaceful and scenic spring-fed lake. The location is perfect - you're about a mile to Bohemian Road Beach on Lake Michigan (part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore), about 15 minutes to the very nice town of Leland, and 15-20 mins in the other direction to bustling Glen Arbor - both have markets, restaurants, sights, and shopping. (Across the street from the cottage is a very cute little market that makes good pizza and salads.) This is an amazingly bucolic and quaint part of the country - admittedly, we were there in late June, before the 'official' start of tourist season - but if you love Up North, it won't get much better than this. Farmers Markets in Glen Arbor, Lake Leelanau and Empire on various days for local produce and meats (we made pulled pork from local meat one day - fantastic). Kayaks and lifejackets were a nice plus as well - Little Traverse is calm and brisk and perfect for amateur kayaking.

The house is exactly as described and presented - neat, well- equipped, thoughtfully arranged. We were three adult couples and two teenagers and were quite comfortable - we had perfect weather, which made the large deck and lovely lawn overlooking LIttle Traverse Lake where we spent most of our time. Bedrooms were small but absolutely adequate. HOuse was well -ventilated - adjusting the windows meant always a nice breeze. Kitchen was above average for cottages - good stove and fridge, and a dishwasher, which was a plus. Very nice Weber gas grill on the deck. Plenty of outdoor chairs and a wonderful fire pit. (We spent more on campfire wood and s'mores ingredients than we did on anything else!) Adequate wi-fi. House and property were clean, in good repair and very well-supplied. Full bath was well-designed for a cottage. Half bath upstairs was small but functional.

In summary, we can't think of a thing we needed or that we would change, and we appreciated that the cottage was exactly as described. We would stay here again and would recommend it to others. We had a lovely stay and very much appreciated our time there.
