We had a great stay! The house was perfect for our group of 13 girls celebrating a bachelorette party—plenty of room for everyone and very comfortable. The location was great, and the lake access was definitely a plus. The listing pictures definitely don’t do it justice—we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The only downside was that the host did not respond to any of our messages, which made communication difficult. Overall, the house itself was wonderful and worked out really well for our trip.

Beautiful sunsets!

Very nice house, plenty of space for our group, a few issues with appliances(coffee maker, washer). We rented the pontoon for one day and had a really good time. Downstairs bedrooms were very cold. Overall , we really enjoyed our stay.

The pictures don't do it justice. The house was perfect for our extended family. The house was well stocked, and you get to watch the most beautiful sunsets every evening. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us.

We had an amazing family vacation here in August. The photos truly do not do this place justice. It was very clean and had all the amenities you could need. We especially loved the ability to rent a pontoon right across the street, although it was pricey. The view from the deck is beautiful and we especially loved watching the bald eagles flying over the lake each morning and evening. The location of this house is some of the best in all of northern MI. Short distance to everything the area has to offer. Went to downtown TC, many local wineries, Glen Arbor, Suttons Bay, Fishtown, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes etc. We could have stayed 2 weeks and not ran out of things to do. We especially loved the no fuss checkout procedure. My pet peeve is when there is a giant list of things that must be done before checking out, like stripping the beds, taking out the trash, etc. when we’re already paying hundreds for a cleaning fee. We are talking about booking again for next summer!

Location and View is Fabulous!

This rental with Lake Leelanau access was excellent. My family of 13 had plenty of room with 3 bathrooms and many beds. (The half bath in the lowest level is actually a vanity.) The location is close to Leland, Lake Leelanau, Suttons Bay, Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes.The photos do not do the rental justice. Some of the beds have changed and the living room is not dark like the photo. We all walked in and said the same thing . . . this is much nicer than the pics.The view was my favorite in the morning and the evening.Overall, we had a very good time and would like to stay here again.

BEAUTIFUL, if we ever have a big group staying in the traverse city area again, we will definitely see if this property is available. Gorgeous house and scenery, great location and just a few short (steep) steps, to the lake.

Nice place to stay.

What a great place to stay, beautiful view of the lake and close to TC. It was clean and plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and be comfortable. Lots of parking for our family. The pictures on vrbo does not do it justice. Had a trouble with the lock box for the key. Other then that would stay again.

Great cabin

We had a great time on our trip and it was mostly thanks to this cabin. Lovely inside, so much space, and a really spacious and well-equipped kitchen area. Property manager was available for contact with any questions and his family owns cabins in the area, so they were also available for any questions. Clean, stocked cabin. Thank you!
