Really nice quite spot, its super clean and well maintained! I'd stay there again it was perfect for the 3 of us on our 3 night stay! The fire pit right by the lake was great it also has a really nice gas grill we took advantage of that. We cooked in several meals the kitchen was well set up.

Cozy Cottage on Lake Leelenau

This is the second time we stayed at this cottage to observe the fall colors in Michigan. We love the quaintness of the cottage and the great views of the lake. The owners, Bob and Caroline, are absolutely wonderful and we plan to return in the future.

Awesome rental

This nice cozy cottage was on Lake Leelenau and offered great views of the lake. The cottage was very clean and came with all of the items needed for an enjoyable stay. The owners were great people and made us feel welcome. I would recommend this place to anyone considering a great experience in the Leelenau peninsula.

Fall anniversary weekend

We celebrated our anniversary with a weekend getaway at this cottage. It's small, but perfect for two people. Very clean and cozy, with a beautiful view of Lake Leelanau. Great location to visit wineries on the Leelanau Peninsula, close to restaurants, hiking trails, dunes, etc. And our hosts were lovely. We would stay again!

Cute little cottage right on the water

Clean, cute cottage right on the water. For it being an older cottage it was spotless and such comfy furniture. The beds were the best! We cooked most of the meals there and I had all I needed for dishes and pots and pans.

The cottage was well maintained. Beautiful gardens!! It lacks a paved walkway to the door.(I am using a cane). The WiFi code provided by the website was incorrect. Loved the fire pit. Overall a great stay! Thank you!

Lovely cottage right on Lake Leelenau. Very clean. All amentities listed. Perfect dock to sit on, read and watch the waves. Too cold to swim but we did last year and enjoyed it. Great owners and we hope to visit again.

Perfect location, Beautiful View!

Well appointed classic cottage with comfortable beds and nice, new appliances. Wifi and a/c unit worked great, lots of fans and linens provided. Gas grill was super clean and picnic table sturdy but light enough to slide around the yard during the day. The yard and flower beds are beautiful and so nicely manicured. Plenty of parking for a boat and the waterfront is gorgeous! Nice fire pit and dock with a shallow sandy bottomed lake! Proximity to local towns, shopping, dining and other lakes is perfect!

Lovely place!

It was a lovely place to stay. Beautiful sunrises. Very clean house. Unfortunately the first night we noticed the hot water smelled like eggs/sulfur. The owner was very responsive and found the issue the next day. Even though the issue couldn’t be resolved during our stay, it could be resolved prior to the next guest.

Stay at Lake Leelanau

Cozy little cottage on the lake but was a little crammed in between 2 larger houses with trees half blocking the lake view. Nice screened in porch and deck. Cottage was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our 2 day stay. It was a little hard to find as the listing has the wrong house #, which was next to our rental. Only negative was our last evening there when we went to the dock area to relax on a beautiful evening with a beverage before dinner and the owner came back out to mow again which chased us back inside.

Very nice cabin

The cabin itself was very nice and clean, getting to the cabin was very misleading, had to park in grass and walk through wet grass in the mornings. I would suggest putting blinds on front window, it's very bright plus the neighbors (owners workers could see us as they walked by) We were informed that people would be working on the dock Sunday morning at 9 am after we got there, we checked on Thursday and we were told on Friday, we left a day early due toworkerwthereworkers and hadthe e us

The cabin was in a beautiful location with dock access and a fire pit and BBQ, it was well furnished. The only issue was the water had a sulfur odor so we used bottled water for drinking and coffee. We had a great stay, good times and friendly people!!
