We spent an enjoyable week at the cozy Marcia Lee Log Cabin. The lake was beautiful (just across the yard) and would have been perfect for a swim if we had chosen to do so. The cabin was in a wonderful location in the middle of several small towns and lighthouses for day trips. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was provisioned with much of what we needed to make our meals. The rooms and bathrooms are smaller than they appear in photos. Fans were helpful for keeping bedrooms from getting stuffy even though our stay was at the end of September. And the kitchen window had to be open whenever we cooked for the same reason. I recommend this cabin for close family gatherings. It’s a quiet, relaxing place to stay but still close to many of the locations which make the area popular.

Sunset over the lake with ducks on the dock

We love Lake Leelanau!

We’ve stayed on this lake five or six times, and we always love it! The house was lovely, and very clean. We loved the close access to the lake—you get both sunset & sunrise, if you want. Our only concerns were directions about TV use, and figuring out the thermostat, which we conveyed to the management company. I would recommend this house, and DEFINITELY stay there again! It was close to everything we wanted!

Just 3 minutes to a grocery store, 10 minutes to Suttons Bay and Leland ( for lots of beaches, shopping and restaurants)! The house has everything you need with games for indoors and outdoors, kayaks, a huge yard for kids to play, and a beautiful crystal clear lake!

Convenient, very clean

Everything we needed. Beautiful outdoor area by the lake. Kayaked and enjoyed the neighborhood loons. Comfortable beds and very clean. It was difficult to locate, but we enjoyed the stay. The only thing we would have liked was a bit more private area for sitting. Loft is open to the living area so difficult if not everyone has the same sleep schedule.

Quiet & beautiful views

Our family of four had a lovely time at this cute,very clean property .It was close to so much & the sunsets were amazing! The house had everything we needed & my kids enjoyed having their own rooms. Some instructions on how to work the tv would be nice. It took my tech savvy husband a little while to figure it out! We really enjoyed our trip to Michigan and our stay in this cute house.

Great location

Great place to stay, awesome lication with great views. We had a small sailboat and rented a pontoon for the week and were able to dock the pontoon and tie the sailboat up to the mooring bouy. Only minor little thing would be the beds. One is a queen the others are fulls so not much room for two. We had 5 kids and three adults and used the sofa's with an air mattress we brought. Overall a great place and perfect location

Perfect Spot!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a wonderful spot! Perfectly located between Leland and Sutton's Bay. The rental company was incredibly communicative. The property was private, had ample parking, and the yard was spacious with plenty of room to play! The waterfront was lovely and having water toys available was a huge plus. The home was clean and well maintained. A couple of small things could have been improved. The kitchen could have been a little better appointed, cookware was old and worn. Bathrooms needed hooks or more room to hang towels. Main bedroom needs bedside tables or nightstands to for glasses/book, etc. Thankyou for an amazing stay!

Charming, cozy cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is charming with everything you would need. There are really only 2 bedrooms and an open loft that looks over the living room area. It was perfect for us but may pose an issue for light sleepers. Management company would not divulge address until right before arrival...since we had family in the area, we had wanted to know the exact location. Management company policy seemed unreasonable. That was our only complaint.

It was a rough week.

Because the property is SO OPEN, it meant that there was nowhere to go to "get away" from everyone else. All of the beds are full size, which I think were meant to fit 2 people each, but that did not work for us. So when it was raining, like for 2 days straight, we felt like we were going nuts trying to share this space together. It was so loud! We felt "boxed in". It just ended up being a really rough week for our family and the house definitely contributed to that. The property is great! But it should be advertised as being a VERY open space, and it was "comfortable" for 5 adults, not 7, or even 8, as advertised.

50th birthday wknd

We booked the Marcia Lee Lake House to celebrate my & a good friend’s 50th birthdays. The combined TC/Leelanau/Old Mission area is one of my favorite places on Earth, so I wanted to bring my sis & some of my best pals — who had not visited the area before— up to celebrate a big milestone. Per usual, the trip did not disappoint & the Marcia Lee Lake House was an excellent home base. The location is great & the property is beautiful! We loved just walking through the backyard to the lake to soak up the beautiful sunsets. We also used the provided kayaks & built a fire in the fire pit. The house itself is airy & open & well appointed with an ample kitchen, nice bedrooms & a roomy loft. The house is attached to the owners’ home, but there is no shared wall as a garage separates the two homes. Can be a little tricky to find; follow the small wooden “Marcia Lee Lake House” signs & turn left onto a shared drive when you see the small, vertical green “6541” sign. You’ll then wind around to the large shared property & “your” cabin will be the farthest of the two. Again, we really enjoyed our time there & would book again.
