We had a great stay. The location was centrally located to the three major towns nearby (Glen Arbor, Leland, and Suttons Bay). We were pleasantly surprised that Cedar had useful amenities as well, such a a gas station, grocery store, hardware store, restaurant, and some gift shops to name a few. The Cabin was very clean, the kitchen well stocked with everything that you would need, as well as towels and linens. There was a wall mounted split unit that kept the cabin a good temperature. We would recommend.

Thank you for this nice review, the owners are always looking for ways to make the cabin inviting and comfortable. It's nice you recognized the location in the county is about as good as it gets. Bob Ashmun

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!!

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.

What makes this property unique

Lake Leelanau is one of the area's most beautiful lakes. Clear, narrow and 22 miles long, this lake is normally safe for all types of boating. Sandy bottom, shallow sloping shore is safe for children and the lake is also a great fishing site.
Restaurants and wineries accessable by boat.
