Perfect, cozy lakeside retreat

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: 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.

Our 4th year at this cottage!

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: 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!

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.

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.

Great place!

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 location

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.
