About the host

Hosted by Kyrstin Ritsema

Host profile image
My husband grew up on Lake Leelanau at his grandparents cottage on the South Lake. We started bringing our children up when they were 4 and 1 and now they are sailing the lake on their own. Blessed to acquire our own personal piece of heaven and make it our own in 2020. Its our pleasure to share it with you when we are not enjoying it ourselves!

Why they chose this property

One of the first cottages we rented was in the West Wind Resort and we loved the convenience to everything we like to do. Its the perfect size to have and still be able to enjoy yourself. Great home base, and quiet location.

What makes this property unique

This is our personal cottage, not just a rental property. All the things you would need for yourself or older children are available for your use. Dishes, outdoor furniture, coffee maker, etc. We only ask that if supplies are used that they be replaced. If items are broken or damaged let us know ASAP. We want you to be comfortable and look forward to establishing return guests.
