Ended up not staying as the whole house was not air conditioned and my husband has breathing issues and can’t tolerate the heat.

Unfortunately the guests did not notice than in the amenities section the property shows air conditioning is portable not central. We have three modern portable units which cover up to 1800 square feet on a 1400 square foot property, I think a grade of 2 is a bit harsh,I believe the guest would be fine and I could have had the units on and running upon arrival had they requested.

Really nice!

We had a great stay. The cottage is more spacious and comfortable than the pictures suggest, with a large deck. Beautiful wooded setting, very quiet. Great location near Leland with a wonderful beach on Lake Michigan a 5 minute drive away. We would definitely go back again.

The house was comfortable and spacious. The WiFi was unpredictable and slow at best. The open kitchen plan provided a gathering spot that was fun. We enjoyed eating on the deck.

Treetop Cottage

We loved our stay at this charming treetop cottage!! The central location is close to everything and especially Good Harbor beach. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck and eating our meals there while listening to the birds and wildlife. The cottage has super comfy bed linens and towels, and the kitchen is modern with great cooking area and supplies. The owner was quick and responsive when we had a question. We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and especially the quiet and serene escape off the beaten path!!

This property was a good location to Good Harbor Beach. It served the purpose that we needed it to serve. The only few down sides are that the air conditioning was only in the living space and not in the bed room, which was okay after the first few 2 nights. The other thing we found slightly inconvenient was we couldn’t lock the cottage

Peaceful setting, great location

The wooded setting is quiet and peaceful, and Peggy is a pleasant and thoughtful host. Generally, the cottage has very usable spaces. The recently updated kitchen is really very nice, and the large, enclosed porch is lovely – open the screened windows and enjoy the air. The living room a bright and comfortable and the bedrooms adequate. We appreciated the table, chairs, and new propane grill on the large deck but use footwear to avoid slivers from the old deck boards. The aging bathroom is functional, about what you’d expect in an older cottage. We appreciated the wifi since cell service is weak. We didn’t use the washer/dryer, but they’d be convenient for longer stays. Overall, this is a reasonably priced rental in a great location within beautiful Leelanau County.

Lovely cottage!

We had everything we needed at this lovely up North cottage. The kitchen is beautiful, with new appliances. Loved the screened in porch that makes you feel like you’re in a treehouse. Light and airy tv room with comfortable sofa and a square coffee table perfect for playing board games. Nice gas grill and deck. The beautiful wooded setting around the cottage gives you privacy. Nice yard for throwing a frisbee. Laundry room with washer and dryer is a nice bonus. It’s a great location - close to gorgeous Good Harbor beach (on the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore) Sleeping Bear sand dunes, Leland’s Fishtown, Glen Arbor, and the list goes on. I have vacationed in the Leelanau Peninsula since I was a young child, and I can say that this is one of the best places I have stayed. Peggy is a terrific host!

Perfect dog-friendly cottage in the woods, near the beach

We loved our week at Peggy and Paul's updated traditional cottage. The location is *perfect* -- in the quiet of the woods, but only a mile from Good Harbor Bay Beach (a wonderful beach for swimming, walking, running, and watching the sunset and which allows dogs on part of it). And so convenient to everything in Leelanau and TC! The cottage is comfortable and much more spacious than the pictures show. The updated kitchen and grill are great to cook in/on, and the dining room table on the three-season porch made it easy to cook for ourselves and eat surrounded by the trees and the fresh air (and no bugs!). The sunny living room and the breezy porch were both great at different times and in different weather. Plenty of space to spread out. Our dog loved it when we opened all the windows and doors and she could smell the woods and watch for critters. The beds were comfortable (though I wish I had brought my own pillow -- I'm picky!) and the bathroom small but adequate, with a surprising amount of space to stow the stuff of three people. Having a laundry was great, too. The half bath is part of the laundry room, which might be awkward for some, but we didn't mind. I found the mirrored medicine cabinet in there great for getting ready while someone else was using the shower in the full bath. The yard, deck, and surrounding woods were all lovely, too. Peggy was easy to contact and she left detailed instructions on our arrival. All in all, a wonderful time. Would come again!

Loved it

My month at this cottage flew by. I loved it. It is part of a gorgeous property with owner's manor next door. Such a beautiful spot. This cottage is nestled in the woods next to their house. It is peaceful, well kept, near the beach. The owner's were not present, but were in contact with all needs. So glad I made this choice, and I have a fond memory of it. Even tho its just yesterday I left. :) A sanctuary in nature for sure. <3

Great Cottage & Location

We had a nice week at The Cottage. Peggy is very responsive and the cottage was clean and ready for us. The location is perfect; we love all of the Leelanau Peninsula and this spot near Good Harbor Beach is perfect. The cottage is large with lots of windows for views into the woods and nice breezes. You might want to bring your own lawn chairs for the porch; there are only two chairs there and they have thick cushions that were usually damp. All-in-all, we were happy with our stay.

Peace and quiet

The cottage is really larger than photos reveal. With two living areas there was plenty of room for five adults. The sunroom with the twin bed was like sleeping in a treehouse. The location couldn’t be better for beach access at Good Harbor, we walked most of the time. We cooked all meals in the cabin, it’s well equipped. No need to bring your own towels, Peggy has equipped the cottage with large, thick fluffy cotton towels. One thing to keep in mind, this a heavily forested rural location and there are some inconveniences city folks aren’t used to, but the cottage and it’s location outweigh them. We had a lovely time, it was just too short!

Terrific getaway

We had a terrific time at the cottage. The cottage was clean, spacious and in a lovely location. I especially appreciated the kitchen as we cooked most of our meals. It is roomy and very well outfitted with good pans and utensils. This is lackiNg in many properties , and was very much appreciated. The only concern about the cottage is that it is a three season space. If it is going to be cold the heating units don’t really warm the entire space. We had a few chilly mornings but as long as it was warm we loved the cottage.

Cedar, Michigan

We really enjoyed this cottage size and location. Only complaint is that you cannot lock the property when you are not there. A simple digital lock would fix this. Will book again in the future if this issue is corrected. We were impressed with the level of items for use in the kitchen and porch area. Stocked very well.Thanks

Wonderful location, spacious cottage

We had a great time at Peggy's place; the cottage is pretty spread out so each person can have a little private space. Beautiful new kitchen and well-furnished bedrooms. My son liked sleeping on the (enclosed) front porch area. Would definitely return. Warning: the dryer makes an awful racket (but it works!)

Nice place/Great location

Really liked the location and the accommodations offered at this property. Owner was very helpful and had everything ready to go to make it an enjoyable stay. One thing I would want to clarify about the listing is the half bathroom is technically a toilet in the laundry room. Not the end of the world but keep that in mind depending on what you are looking for. One other thing we weren't a fan of is the wifi router is located in the master bedroom which has a lot of lights that blink at night. Again not the end of the world since I just threw a piece of clothing over it but it would be nice if we didn't have to deal with it. All in all a nice place and a great location!
