Nice stay
We enjoyed our stay. It was tough with no air conditioning in summer in July. There are fans. Beds were comfy. No laundry, so prepare for that. Kitchen is equipped with eating utensils, a few cooking utensils, plates, mugs, cups, bowls, a few pans. No coffee but there were filters. No cooking oil supplied. There was salt and pepper. We had to share bath towels for the duration of stay. Only given 5. Prepare for that too. There was no outdoor patio that was sufficient enough to eat on. We were a little disappointed with the fire pit and the area it was in on the property. It was located on a concrete slab which may have been a home or large shed at some point. Didn’t have that up north feel for a fire pit. We loved the wood paneling and the decor, it did give an up north and cozy feel. We got locked out and Bill was there within 5 minutes to help us. Thanks for having us!

Wonderful Setting
My wife and I stayed here for five nights. The quiet setting was just what we were looking for and the proximity to Sutton's Bay and Traverse City made it ideal.

Great Home Base
We stayed here due to the location and the ability to easily sleep our family of 4. We loved the property itself for the quiet and secluded feel to it. However, it was only 5 minutes into the town of Suttons Bay and 10-12 minutes into Traverse City. We found it easy enough to do a day to the Sleeping Bear Dunes and beaches of Lake Michigan. We greatly enjoyed our stay and will definitely plan for another trip here next season.

Family getaway
We stayed four nights at the Leelanau Country Cottage. We really enjoyed our stay and Bill was very helpful delivering supplies to us and providing ideas for local dining options. The upstairs area allowed the kids to have a space to hang out separate from the main living area. My husband and I enjoyed breakfast on the seating area just outside the kitchen and we made a bonfire one night as well. Definitely a relaxing location.

Three nights at Leelanau Cottage
Bill’s cottage was perfect for us and we lucked out with amazing weather. We loved the proximity to the bike path and wineries, visiting three one afternoon. We biked into Sutton’s Bay for paddle boarding and ice cream on another day. Hanging out by the “ruins” of the old barn was so cool. We made a fire and watched the stars come out. Other reviews mentioned that the trees need to be trimmed but I felt like they added privacy. The kitchen could use a couple more small things like a big bowl and large spoons. We improvised. Would definitely stay again. Thanks, Bill!

Great location
Quiet and a bit rural but easy to get to Sutton’s Bay, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear. Very light at night, bring your eye mask. Very clean, good kitchen, cool in the summer, lovely old barn(?) foundation to explore. Porch is not usable due to overgrown tree.

This property and location were perfect! It is such a great location, just 20-30 minute drive to everything on the peninsula. The cottage was clean and efficient. Everything about the stay was great. I would highly recommend this property for a nice relaxing stay on the peninsula.

Very good experience. Owner was nice and moved his car to accommodate our truck and boat making it easier for us to park and go in and out. Great central location to Traverse City and Sutton’s Bay. Overall a great family get away! Would highly recommend.

Fantastic getaway!
Location is perfect and quiet but also near so many things! On the bike trail, and short drive to the wineries and scenery in Leelanau peninsula! Host was gracious and informative. We will return!

Quiet, private location met our expectations for multi-purpose getaway.
Stayed 5 nights to attend a wedding at nearby winery but also wanted to ride bikes and explore the area. Cottage is roomy. Great location right on TART trail system; convenient to Sutton’s Bay and Traverse City, with all the wineries, restaurants and shopping but very private and quiet.
