Our Great Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have been coming Up North for over 40 years. First on Otsego Lake in Gaylord with my children's great grandparents and now the Leelanau Peninsula. This is by far the best vacation rental in these many years. Quiet, so well appointed and dog friendly. This is our second year and we will gladly stay return.

Leelanau Blue

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The interior of the Leelanau Blue cottage is modern & updated & was very clean. Two bedrooms, one is comfortable the other is tight on space. There is A/C but many of the windows lack screening so opening at night is not an option. The location is unbeatable, close to Suttons Bay and Leland. Ample outdoor furniture exists & is in good condition. There are 5 large tree stumps in the yard which pose a danger issue for kids playing & the dock was broken down at the seawall but passable. There is no ladder to get in/out of the water which made egress very difficult. The dock also had a lot of duck & seagull feces down near the end by the boat hoists.

Perfect small cottage - great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I and our little Boston Terrier loved our stay at Leelanau Blue. It doesn’t look like much from the road, but inside is a designer’s dream. They have updated this small cottage beautifully, with tasteful furniture and décor, quality bedding and linens, drinkable tap water, good wifi and cable system, and everything you’d need to make your stay enjoyable. The air-conditioning unit was larger than expected, and with the heat wave that came through, it was very much appreciated. Ironically, we had to turn the furnace on a couple of days later. The deck had a comfortable, cushioned sectional which was fun to sit on and look out at the beautiful water, plenty of other nice deck chairs and a table/umbrella and chairs. The yard was plenty big to walk our dog around, quiet neighbors and neighborhood. My only wish list item would be a ladder to make going in and out of the water easier. This cottage was perfect for us and we can’t wait to come back.
