Everything was just as described and even more. The cottage was fresh and clean and seemed recently renovated with quality furnishings and fixtures throughout. The toaster wasn’t working and they brought out a new one right away—very responsive. The location and sunset views can’t be beat. We will definitely stay again.

This cottage is perfect for my husband and me, and our little Boston Terrier. We love sitting on the deck and enjoying the lake and quiet neighborhood, lots of restaurant, great golf courses, and cute shops close by. The cottage is clean and well equipped; our wish list would be a ladder from the dock into the water for us senior citizens. We'll be back next year!

We appreciate your 5-Star review of this clean and cozy cabin!
This Beautiful Beach House was perfect.Amazing sunsets, lake view, quiet , and so peaceful. My daughter and I had an incredible time. Lake house is small but adorable! And close to shopping area. Definitely worth it and we will be back!
Everything about the house is perfect. Amazing location, completely updated, extremely clean, and incredible views of the lake. We will definitely be coming back.
The lake is gorgeous can see right into the water. We used the kayaks - water was very placid and peaceful. Quiet relaxing and great house. I cried when we had to leave. Visited nearby Suttons Bay and Fishtown (Leland) Absolutely loved it. Want to go again!!!!!

Wonderful! We are happy to know that you enjoyed your stay.
The lake view is awesome. Our weather was unseasonably warm. Was able to swim in October. The place is great. Clean and updated. Bathroom even has a heated floor. Next time I would bring my boat. Property manager called to make sure everything is ok too.

This is our fourth time staying at Leelanau Blue. It is a lovely rental in a wonderful location with a view that we never grow tired of. It’s a great place for vacation. The kitchen is well appointed and the main bedroom bed is very comfortable. The deck has lots of seating and a table for eating outside. Great rental!

On the lake
Leelanau Blue is charming as described, the view of the lake and sunsets were beautiful. My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing week.The only complaint we had was the dog and cat hair that was on the pillows and floors.

We loved staying at this little cottage. They did a great job on the remodel. Cute and cozy. Great view. All the furniture was very comfy. I would recommend bringing water shoes lake bottom more of a sand/clay mixture. Firepit was very nice. We had a great time.

Beautiful quiet location. We can get here without traveling through the bustle of Traverse City. Property was clean and newly remodeled. We booked the property with the hopes of using the kayaks and doing some fishing on the lake however there was only one paddle remaining. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and accessories.
