Lake Leelanau Cape Cod -Family Friendly-Wine Country -Pet friendly-

Awesome experience!

The reviews are accurate—the location of this rental is absolutely ideal for the cost. Sure you could pay more and be ON the water, but Glen Arbor, Sutton’s Bay, Leland and countless beaches, trails and sites are 30min or less away. There’s a cute little grocery store in Lake Leelanau and St Mary’s school nearby has a great dock for kids fishing on the river between north and south lake Leelanau.

The home itself is cozy, well supplied and sufficient for most. The master bedroom mattress is terrible. This is the one major knock against the rental. A dishwasher would be great if you plan on eating many meals, but that’s a more difficult addition. No gas grill either. Charcoal only.

There’s a cute little park across the street that has the old metal stuff we all used as kids. The neighbors are very friendly despite constant rental turnover.

Overall, a great place. Paella at Black Star Farms on Wednesday’s was yummy. I’d advise skipping Traverse all together and explore the other little towns nearby. Sutton’s Bay is my new favorite. You cannot go wrong here. Enjoy!

We have been staying in this town for years and can't believe we've never noticed this perfect little cottage! It had plenty of sleeping space, a spacious living room and kitchen and the bathroom was amazing. We were a little worried about 5 people and 1 bathroom, but it was no problem at all. This cottage was beyond clean upon check-in and had everything we could have possible needed. The fenced yard was ideal for our dog. I can't think of one complaint. I highly recommend this cottage!

We loved our stay here! The house and location were perfect. This is a cute, quiet village, five minutes in either direction from Sutton's Bay or Leland, and the little house is adorable, plus the yard with grill and fire pit is very nice. There is a master bedroom at the back of the house with its own little private deck, a large newer bathroom on the main floor, a small main-floor bedroom was perfect for our 13-year-old granddaughter, and two bedrooms upstairs as well. The cottage was immaculate, and we appreciated having a full-sized washer and dryer. No detail was overlooked; anything we could have wanted was supplied. We didn't bring our dog but the fenced yard would have been perfect for her. There's a good grocery and liquor store at the end of the block with fresh produce and meat counter. Nice out-of-the-way hamlet in an otherwise touristy area. Hope we can return!

Beautifully decorated, clean, well stocked cottage, great yard, convenient to whole peninsula, lovely stay!
