This lakefront home initially seemed like a great place to stay. Check-in was easy and went smoothly. However, as the days went by, my guests and I noticed hundreds of bugs throughout the house. Hundreds of bugs is not an exaggeration.Just looking up at the ceiling in the master bedroom, it was completely covered with bugs. Instead of seeing shining stars, we were unfortunately staring at bugs.When I contacted the host to express how disappointed and disgusted I was with the bug problem, I was told, “We do not have an infestation—it’s Northern Michigan on the lake.” The host also advised us not to leave lights on, not to leave doors open, and not to use overhead lights in the rooms. However, every door remained closed, and all lights were turned off. I even had my phone brightness set to the lowest level, and tiny bugs were still drawn to the light from my screen. I wish I could make this up.Clearly, there are issues with the property not being properly sealed. I was disappointed that the host dismissed my concerns and stated there was “nothing” they could do. If I owned this property, I would not allow guests to stay there until the bug problem was resolved.I even spoke with locals who own lake houses nearby, and they all said it is not normal for a lake house to have a bug issue this severe.As a young adult celebrating my bachelorette trip, my friends and I unfortunately had nowhere else to relocate. Overall, I do not recommend staying at this.

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing our home for your bachelorette getaway. We are glad to hear that check-in was easy and that your group was able to enjoy time at Lake Leelanau. We are, however, sorry that your experience was impacted by the seasonal insects that can occasionally occur in Northern Michigan, particularly on waterfront properties during certain times of the year. Our home has been extensively renovated and is professionally cleaned and maintained between every stay. We take guest concerns seriously and have continued to evaluate and address any opportunities to further minimize insects entering the home. While lakefront properties can experience periods of increased insect activity, we understand that your experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and regret that this issue affected your celebration. Feedback from our guests helps us continue improving the experience for future visitors. We wish you and your friends all the best.

Great week on Lake Leelanau

Enjoyed ready access to the lake from this nice home. Worked well for the teen / early 20 year olds with us. Deck with grill was terrific for lunch and the inside table was great for evening games. Plenty of tvs for everyone to be happy and bathrooms were better than most cottages are! We had a terrific time!

Family vacation

This house met our family needs from ages 1-69. The setting is very relaxing and quiet. The location was convenient for exploring Old Mission Peninsula, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and downtown Traverse City. Lake Leelanau was perfect for water activities. Would love to return.

Great Family Getaway

We traveled with 4 adults and 4 children. House was well appointed and held us all comfortably. Cooked several big meals in the kitchen. Deck, patio and yard are lovely. The "garage" room is excellent and we put the bar to good use. We also rented a boat and kept it at their mooring for the week, which was great.

Great space for large group

The property was very nice and large enough to be comfortable for 12 people. House is very clean, updated, and has almost anything you could need as far as cups, plates, cooking utensils, games, etc. Dock was easy to pull boat up to for loading and unloading, but nowhere to tie up other than mooring ball, even for a short amount of time. So, is a minor inconvenience. Overall, my group really enjoyed the property and would consider staying again.

Lake Leleenau Perfection

We had the most incredible week stay with my family. We had 10ppl total… my husband and I and our three children, their aunt/uncle/cousin and my in-laws. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The location was picture perfect and the house was nicely updated With a well stocked kitchen. Great swimming area off the dock and the mooring ball was perfect to handle our boat. Nine minutes to.Traverse and a 12 min drive to Suttons Bay. We really hope to come back to this location. It was a 10/10!!!

Spend money elsewhere. This property not worth it.

Outside property is great on the lake but really needed some TLC. Lawn wasn’t cut and the grass was very high. There was dog poop everywhere (and no dogs allowed…hmmm). The inside property was old, hot water worked half the time for showers amd the downstairs toilet was clogged most of the trip. Windows filthy and ants everywhere. For the $$$ I would recommend staying someplace else.

I am very sorry you feel this way. With being on a lake and having a holding tank, sometimes toilets clog. I sent someone out to fix the problem right away. The lawn gets cut on Wednesdays unless it rains and has never been an issue in the past. As for the dog poop, you are correct we do not allow dogs because of this issue in the past so I am sorry you had to deal with this. I am not on property everyday so I cannot make sure other dogs are not on the property at all times. We have only ever had great reviews in the past so I am sorry you had a bad experience.

Really Good Getaway Place

The only reason I didn't give this rental 5 stars was communication issues with the home owner. I think we were the first renters of the season, so it needed another once over by the cleaning crew. But if you've spent time on home rental websites, you know in N.MI there are really only 2 kinds of homes - "Your family's old cabin" in a great location but badly in need of renovation or something out of the Hamptons. There aren't a lot of somewhat reasonably priced, lovely, well appointed homes - well, this is that home. The location is perfectly situated 30 min from TC, an hour from Sleeping Bear, &1 mile off the fantastic super kid friendly 17 mile beautifully paved TART Bike Trail (small children may need to walk their bike to the trail). We had River Outfitters deliver a kayak and paddle board for a week rental, which we used every morning (in wet suits, because the water is still very chilly in late June). The lake is clean, gorgeous and surprisingly quiet. Stunning sunsets - and neighbors who invited my 10 yr animal obsessed son to come see his herd of Bison. *** We were only a family of 4, because our friends finally had a chance to head overseas to see family after the Pandemic - so for us, the space was great. Just note, if you're going to share with another family (extended or friends), while there are lots of beds, they are in tight spaces, not a lot of privacy. But if the weather is decent it won't matter... really, it's a great location, very nice house. And really, what's better than being *right on a lake* in MI?? Go July 4th or later if you want to get into the water.

A perfect place for a family getaway

The house was just what we needed. We had 3 kids ranging in age from 3-11 and needed a place we could get the young ones to bed and then hang out and have fun without being far away! The walkout garage door room was perfect for rainy evenings sitting and watching the rain and relaxing and the fire pit outside was perfect to roast marshmallows with. The water is shallow enough at the dock stairs that our 8 year old could easily swim around in the sandy bottom area. Beds were the most comfortable we’ve encountered in a rental place probably ever, and we do a lot of rentals. Kitchen has everything you need including griddle and air fryer, mini fridge and wine fridge in the garage room for adult beverages was very handy as well. Kayaks and Lilly pad for the water were a surprise treat for us and there were plenty of life jackets in all sizes to accommodate everyone we spent 7 days and had an amazing time even when in rained thanks to a large amount of bird games and access to the roku tv to watch a movie! Will book again!!

House on Lake Leelanau

This property is fantastic. We have been renting in the Leelanau Peninsula for 15 years+ . We have stayed in many homes and this home is definitely in the top 5. Our only problem was the bedroom count but we have now realized we can solve that issue by renting the guest house next door. The home was impeccable and very very very clean. If we had to contact the owner our response was alost immediate. Sarah was very helpful and always on point with her responses. We enjoyed our stay and will defintely be back!
