Coming from South Florida, we were very pleased with this adorable house on the lake. It is tucked back in a nice neighborhood but still maintains a lot of privacy. We utilized the fire pit every night, the dock, and fishing tackle. We were here for a wedding and we had friends staying next door which was so convenient and fun. Deb, the host, was MORE than friendly and welcoming even before we arrived. That is great because I felt like if we needed her, she would be responsive. That is something I have not always experienced with rentals. Everything went smoothly and we had a great time there. You will love it

My husband, 15 month old daughter and I had a wonderful stay at Mellow Yellow! The best week of our year so far. We enjoyed dinners on the back porch looking out over the lake and reading by the firepit in the evenings. The cottage is in a great location for exploring- we hiked, kayaked, went to lighthouses and wineries. Debbie was such an accommodating host. We hope to be back!

Mellow Yellow is perfect Up North Rental!

We had an outstanding stay at Mellow Yellow! It was spotless upon entry and was quite possibly the best equipped cottage we have ever rented! The setup was exactly like the pics showed- not big but because there are two bedrooms upstairs AND a full bath we never felt cramped. There are plenty of chairs and places to spread out. All furniture is in fantastic shape and comfortable and beds were obviously newer! Bathroom towels were very nice and there was plenty of soap, shampoo and laundry detergent! They even had plenty of spices for cooking. We couldn’t have been more impressed. That said, I believe our favorite spots at Mellow Yellow was the front yard and deck. Plenty of chairs, a nice dock, lake views, picnic table and an excellent campfire area that we used almost every night! Finally, we were very impressed with the manager- Deb! She was super attentive and very knowledgeable of the area and fun things to do and places to go! Thanks again for an outstanding week! We look forward to our next stay!

A family's happy return to Leland

Our family has been visiting Leland, Michigan (just down the road from Lake Leelanau and Suttons Bay) for over 60 years. My daughters and I returned for the first time in 15 years with new spouses and a baby! The rental was an excellent home base to visit friends, the beach, and return to favorite local spots. The house was modern, spotless, well equipped. Best of all, it was charming and comfortable. The sunsets were beautiful and the beds were super comfy. The host could not have been more accessible and accommodating. We are all hoping to make it an annual get together!

Mello Yellow Vacation

We were so. pleased with the house (Mello Yellow). It was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the lake view off the deck was great! It is located in a quiet neighborhood and very close to wineries and small towns that offered our group many opportunities hike, shop and enjoy tastings from the wineries. The host was very attentive to any of our needs and communicated often before, during and and the end of our stay. We would highly recommend this property if you like the outdoors, touring and coming back to a quiet lakefront property.

I had a great stay at the property and the host was fantastic to communicate with, responded quickly and was very pleasant. The check in process was simple and easy. The house is perfect to spend a week in, is perfect in size and has a great outdoor space. Everything that you can think of this properly has. I spent a lot of time outside. The lake property is perfect for kids to swim in, the lake is sandy and is not extremely deep. I rented a boat for the week and the dock was perfect for docking and using the boat. The properly is also close both to downtown Leland and Suttons Bay which both have great options for lunch and dinner. I would highly recommended this property and will visit again.

Awesome stay on Lake Leelanau

We loved our stay at Mellow Yellow! The cottage is quaint, comfortable, and the location on the east side of the lake just north of the Narrows cannot be beat. The sunsets are incredible from here! The cottage is not modern, by any means, but it’s perfect for a quiet family vacation and it’s stocked with everything you need, including cookware, beach towels, kayaks and a canoe, laundry…everything!! It’s on a quiet private road that is just minutes to the village of Leelanau and a quick drive to Leland and Glen Arbor. Communication with Debbie, the property manager, was easy! We highly recommend a stay here and hope we can come back someday!
