Lovely cottage
We were 3 couples in our late 60's and the cottage was perfect for us with 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The common living area was just the right size and the table seats 6. The windows across the front gave you a great view of the lake and the chairs and loungers on the patio were very inviting. Cottage was clean with plenty of linens and kitchen equipment. Will definitely plan another trip to Lake Leelanau.

Perfect vacation home
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home. The pictures don’t do it justice. Tim was a great host and we had no issues with check in or anything in the house. The view of the Lake Leelanau is beautiful, the house is clean, cozy and very comfortable. I would recommend this house highly and hope to come back again soon.

Amazing views
Pictures don't do it justice! The view off the back deck is incredible. The master bedroom is very spacious. It's located very close to several wineries and a cidery. We had some issues with check in but Tim made it right and was very kind.
