Wonderful location and so much to do!

Really spacious lake house with updated bathrooms and great views of the lake. Our two teens enjoyed swimming, kayaking, SUP, and fishing here. And they liked using the separate bunk house for themselves. Great patio for dinner, drinks, cards, or just relaxing.

Traditional Lake Cottage

Great property that had everything needed for a Leelanau Peninsula week including a dock close to the narrows boat launch for our boat! Cottage was clean and comfortable with a large yard for games and lake time.

We loved it!!

We were coming to town for a family wedding and needed a place nearby to stay, what a gem we found!! It is secluded but still close enough to walk or paddle into the downtown area to get a drink or dinner. It was so relaxing & peaceful! The home was very clean and up to date. We look forward to visiting again!!

Exceeded our Expectations

The home is clean, spacious and suited our purposes perfectly. The pictures don’t do it justice, it’s right on the lake with tons of lake frontage. We rented a boat the entire time we stayed and the dock was great. Waking up to a view of the lake each morning was a treat.

Terrific

The entire experience was excellent. You're close to everything but far enough away. The water is clear and beautiful and the property was well maintained. The bunk house was excellent for the kids. There is an excellent golf course a few minutes away, a national park and a super convenient grocery store. I definitely recommend this place and I will stay there again.

Quick lake getaway

My husband and I took our mother and infant son with us for a weekend up north. Louann communicated ahead of time that some updates were in the process of being made and we were able to check in a little early. Location was great to everything Leland has to offer, other quaint towns are a quick car ride away. Definitely would stay here again if I had a smaller group as described above.

Beautiful setting.

Lake setting and proximity to all things is excellent. Initial hiccup was dealt with swiftly by manager. Cleanliness is lacking. Needs a good, deep cleaning throughout. Still would recommend. The lake is stunning.

The outdoors were great right on the lake, good location. House inside too rustic.

Enjoyed the location and that was all. The house needs a lot of work, no good windows looking at the lake. Not worth the money.

Thank you for your opinion. We feel we are adequately priced for the area. With 6 adults, your price was approx $60 per person per night. Beautiful views everywhere in the home. A little rustic yes, but certainly accommodates simple living.
