This property severed our family of six adults well. It is conveniently located near several hiking trails, wineries, and shopping. The views of Lake Michigan are priceless. The host was gracious, easy to communicate with, and responsive when we had questions. We hope to return in the future.

Perfect location and amazing view!

This house was the best rental we've had in this area over the past 5 years. The view cannot be beat. The location is ideal - super close to Leland, as well as Suttons Bay, Northport and Glen Arbor. The house is very clean, and on a nice quiet street. Would definitely rent here again!

Wonderful week!

The cottage is perfect and the owners are lovely. Couldn't ask for much more we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Lots of Lake Michigan kayaking for the kids and adults and always gorgeous views from the house and the back deck. We cooked on the grill most nights and found the cushioned benches around the living room to be the perfect spot for a good read with a nice breeze. Thank you for sharing your home we hope to see you again!

Beautiful home with a perfect view!

The home is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The view is amazing! We had plenty of parking for 3 vehicles with kayak trailers. The owners live behind the house and were very accommodating if we needed anything. The beds were very comfortable and we had all the bedding and towels we needed. It was a perfect week!

The Lake Michigan view is stunning

Having in laws in area was helpful as they are lovely people. The beds were comfortable, and the house was clean and well stocked. We liked the close town of Leland. Plenty to see and do, or great opportunities for R&R at The Cottage. Make sure you get an explanation of AC, in rare case of heatwave.

Beautiful Property and Views

Beautify property and lake shore views. Tons of things to do in the area which is rated as one of america's most beautiful. The Sleeping Bear dunes are unbelievable and kayaking over salmon swimming upstream is an experience that won't be forgotten

Absolutely beautiful location and very comfortable home!

The pictures here do not come close to doing justice of the actual home - it is warm, nicely decorated and very comfortable. We had a family of 5 - 2 adults, and 3 young adults (22, 22, and 18). It was an excellent location with a breathtaking view of Good Harbor Bay and the Manitou Islands. We used the kayaks and paddle board on the lake, took nearby hikes, did some biking, wine tasting, tried some great restaurants, and relaxed on the deck. The owners are close by and very helpful with answering questions. I would return in a heartbeat!
