Gorgeous property - great rental in Leland

House was perfect for our family of 6….4 kids. View of lake and grass yard to the water…long pier to deeper water. Can’t beat Leelanau. Close to town in Leland. Rented boat at marina in town. Property Manager, Cayman, was incredibly helpful as we had to book last second and she gave us local tips and made sure we were taken care of…..5/5.

End of summer vacation

Overall this is a great property Upsides: 1. very well and thoughtfully appointed (good beds, great lake toys, kitchen didn't feel like it was sourced in yard sales). 2. Charming and cozy 3. Great location on the lake as well as to access anything in the Lelanau Peninsula 4. Easy and smooth process Downsides: closer to road than we wanted

Beautiful home with incredible waterfront!

My family of 4 (2 kids under age 5) had a great stay. The house is updated, clean, and fully stocked with everything we needed. There are plenty of life jackets available, fishing poles, as well as kayaks and fun floats for adults and kids. The water along the dock is shallow enough for little ones to play. We rented a boat one of the days and were able to hop on from the end of the dock. Did lots of dock fishing and caught perch and trout! Neighbors are very friendly. Property Manager, Cayman, was very helpful and communicative. We would definitely rent this place again and will be recommending to family and friends!
