About Lake Leelanau:

Lake Leelanau runs 21 miles through the middle of the Leelanau Peninsula in northern Michigan. It is connected to Lake Michigan via the Leland River in Leland, MI, home of historic Fishtown. The entire lake includes two bodies of water, usually referred to as North Lake Leelanau and South Lake Leelanau, connected by “the narrows” in the village of Lake Leelanau.

As summer comes to the Leelanau Peninsula, you will enjoy the area’s stunning scenery, the lake’s clear fresh water, boating, fishing, restaurants, shopping, and much more.

Wonderful Retreat
It was such a perfect place for our spring break. The decor is lovely and the cottage was a wonderful, easy place to stay with young kids. Hosts were attentive and easy to communicate with. We will be back!

Peaceful, clean and well appointed
We normally visit this area of MI in the summer. I was recovering from hip surgery and thought it would be nice to spend mid September here and this property did not disappoint. Perfect size for 2-4 people. Great Lake access, clean and well stocked with anything you would need, comfy beds and a fantastic yard. We ended up being able to go up one day early and the owners did something for us totally unexpected when we inquired about this. 5 stars top to bottom

The cottage was perfect for our vacation. The lake offered swimming and fishing right outside our door! The area was great for wine tastings. I would recommend this little cottage to anyone looking for a laid back vacation!

Fantastic Week!
We had a smaller group of 3 for most the week with a couple more visiting for a few days for a total of 5 and the house was incredibly comfortable. The large bunk beds were a huge hit with our kiddo. All of the beds were also very comfortable. The water looks a little shallow, but we rented a pontoon for the day and docked at the house just fine. Very close to everything we wanted to visit including great restaurants and a little grocery store 5 minutes away. The kitchen is absolutely packed with everything you might need. We have rented lake houses a half dozen times or so and the laundry machine was so nice to have throughout the week. We will be getting on the early email list with the owners to book a week for next summer! Thanks for everything.
