Very special location on the lake

Somewhat small lake cottage with outstanding location. Small beach good for swimming, grassy "pier", screened porch, gas grill, ample lawn with picnic table, fire pit for s'mores...Near interesting spots to explore. Gorgeous old willow tree! Beautiful sunsets on the lake...

Best place to stay!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had come to this property from a bad one and OMG were we surprised at how wonderful it was. The views from the inside are just as beautiful as the outside ones. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!! Thank you to the ladies that had moved us from the other space that was very bad.

Great Cabin!

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: Two adults and three 17-year old boys. Plenty of space, very cute little cabin on Lake Leelanau. We loved the location, hearing the waves roll into the beach, the bonfire and the yard was perfect for our dog, it’s kind of naturally fenced in with bushes and trees. Kitchen had everything we needed, bathrooms looked new and really nice. We had a great weekend in this cabin and would come back.

Great location while also at GLEF

We chose to stay here while our 12yr old was horse showing at Flint Fields. It was a bit of a drive but not unreasonable. Kept our youngest happy because she hates going to horse shows. We also have family on north lake Leelanau so it made it convenient. House is clean, comfortable. Not fancy. Honestly, reminded me of going to my grandparents lake cottage when I was a kid. Was like a trip down memory lane.

Lovely October Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 was the perfect spot for a family reunion of sorts. It was very accessible for my elderly parents and gave them easy access to the lake. We loved how close it was to some very amazing October-peak-leaf-viewing spots around the area. The beds are comfy with 100% cotton sheets (it's amazing how rarely you find this in rentals these days!), there was plenty of space for all 5 of us, with ample room around the table for family dinners and card games. We were very impressed that the management company showed up quickly, on a holiday no less, when we asked for more kitchen towels - super responsive! We wouldn't hesitate to rent this home again for a future visit.

This nice house has mice.

We saw and had to catch and dispose of a mouse in the living room during our stay. Even though after this happened, we discovered mouse traps/poison in several places on the property. And when we called the host, they told us they would drop off some traps and peanut butter. Which we didn't believe was a very professional way to handle the situation. Neither was their unwillingness to provide a fair refund of our money, even with assistance from Vrbo.

We are sorry for your experience. This is very unusual. We did speak with you and had one of our employees set a few traps. We offered several options which were rejected.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Check-in process was breeze and I received great communication beforehand. The property photos were as advertised. The location of the property is close to most things and right on the lake.The cleanliness of the property needed a bit more care. We found broken glass, beer cans, a few rotting animal carcasses, and a few other trash items along the lakeshore and it smelled like rotting fish near the water the majority of our stay. The management company responded to our concerns quickly, however, it did take full day to fix the situation (we were only there 2 days). They stated that it was hard to find someone to come out on the weekend (we were there on a Thursday). But, they eventually did fix it. I’d say the location of this place is great, easy instructions, great lakefront but the management company could work on some of the kinks (perhaps checking the outside cleanliness of the property along with the inside) to make it easily a 5/5 property.

Love Lake Leelanau and Latitude Adjustment!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at this nice lakefront cottage on south Lake Leelanau! The cottage was clean and comfortable, and every room had a quiet ceiling fan AND a box fan, so the cool breezes from the lake could be enjoyed inside. (I needed a break from the HOT to COLD to HOT that comes with hot weather and air conditioning! Ughh!) We loved the breezy-side location on the lake and did lots of swimming right in front of the cottage. (Bring water shoes, as the beach is mostly covered with small rocks.) We brought our own kayak so launching it from the beach was super easy. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and eating outside at the picnic table was really enjoyable. The only thing that would be nice is windows in the screened porch that are easier to slide to fully open. Overall, a fantastic stay; we even met the next-door neighbors who are lovely, super friendly folks. The property's management was helpful and responsive during a busy holiday week. Thank you!
