This property was perfect for my husband and me. It is one of the cleanest rentals I’ve stayed in and it was centrally located for great access to Suttons Bay, Fishtown, Old Mission Peninsula, and of course Traverse City. I highly recommend this property!

Lovely little studio over the garage - perfect for two. Kitchen was well stocked, grill worked well, kayaks were a blast. Beautiful lakeside location on a quiet street great for morning walks and centrally located to experience all of the Leelanau peninsula. By far the nicest hosts we’ve ever stayed with.

Wonderful getaway!

The carriage house was absolutely wonderful! Clean, spacious, serene, and conveniently located to Suttons Bay, Leland, Traverse City and the Dunes. Jessie and Larry were so welcoming and kind, allowing us to use their kayaks, sit on their dock, and giving us great restaurant recommendations. When we needed some relaxation in between our explorations, this was the perfect place to come "home" to! Highly recommend!

Enjoyable stay

We enjoyed the balcony for relaxing, reading, and eating. We appreciated the host allowing use of the garage under the quarters for parking. Big plus for those who are particular about their vehicle. Also enjoyed the quiet setting and the location to the small towns, lakes, and state parks. Would not hesitate to stay again to do more exploring of the area. The owner was friendly and inquired if all was ok when our paths crossed, but otherwise respected our time and privacy.
