Great stay

Property location is great, wineries, Leelanau, Glen Arbor, beaches, hikes, restaurants within easy driving but still remote enough to be peaceful and serene. Everyone involved with the house was fantastic, we will be back

What a beautiful location! Us girls really enjoyed looking for rocks, floating in the water, and basking in the sun. We visited Fishtown and the Sleeping Bear dunes. Lots of memories were made! It was exactly what our souls needed. We would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect!

Our two weeks at the house were a delight! It is extremely comfortable, perfectly located and had everything we needed -- from kayaks and children's books to laundry detergent -- and the views of the lake are spectacular. It was so perfect that we have already reserved our stay for next year.

Lake Michigan Cabin Near Leland

Wonderful home that backs up directly to Lake Michigan. The home was well equipped, everything worked, and the neighborhood was quiet but very close to Leland. The sights and sounds of the lake from the backyard deck were beautiful.

Great week with family on the lake

We had such a great time staying here on Lake Michigan for a week!! The property is in an ideal location to be able to jump into the lake any time and watch spectacular sunsets from both decks. We had dinner on the porch every night and were on the kayaks and paddle board every day. Would absolutely recommend this place and we hope to be back! It fit seven adults well.

Great house and secluded location!

We have always spent summers on Lake Leelanau, this was our first time staying on Lake Michigan and it was awesome! The house was clean and had everything we needed. Great location just south of Leland. We picked about 500lbs of petoskeys off the beach right in front of the house, if you're into rock hunting this strech of beach is private and untouched from other beach walkers. Rocks galore! We will miss falling asleep to the waves!
