Reminiscent of old time up north cabins with knotty pine walls and ceilings, except the kitchen and bathroom have been updated; and the floors, windows, roof and siding have all been replaced. And there's internet of course... we couldn't survive without wifi. All in all this was a cozy place to stay for a week, and the grounds are immaculate. We rented kayaks and there's a convenient spot to launch from shore, and a private dock with chaise longues to just kick back and enjoy life at the lakeside.A few side notes: 1) There's a nice gas grill, but bring your own metal spatula if you plan to flip burgers. 2) Anything left overnight in the lawn area will get soaked. The automatic sprinklers come on early every morning. 3) We brought extra towels since there’s no washer/dryer, but it wasn't necessary. We could have stayed a month and not gone through all the towels they provided. 4) It's a pretty quiet area and the neighbors are nearby but friendly. You'll remember the name of the dog next door after you hear his owner call him a few dozen times.

Fall anniversary weekend

We celebrated our anniversary with a weekend getaway at this cottage. It's small, but perfect for two people. Very clean and cozy, with a beautiful view of Lake Leelanau. Great location to visit wineries on the Leelanau Peninsula, close to restaurants, hiking trails, dunes, etc. And our hosts were lovely. We would stay again!

Cozy Cottage on Lake Leelenau

This is the second time we stayed at this cottage to observe the fall colors in Michigan. We love the quaintness of the cottage and the great views of the lake. The owners, Bob and Caroline, are absolutely wonderful and we plan to return in the future.

Lovely place!

It was a lovely place to stay. Beautiful sunrises. Very clean house. Unfortunately the first night we noticed the hot water smelled like eggs/sulfur. The owner was very responsive and found the issue the next day. Even though the issue couldn’t be resolved during our stay, it could be resolved prior to the next guest.

Very nice cabin

The cabin itself was very nice and clean, getting to the cabin was very misleading, had to park in grass and walk through wet grass in the mornings. I would suggest putting blinds on front window, it's very bright plus the neighbors (owners workers could see us as they walked by) We were informed that people would be working on the dock Sunday morning at 9 am after we got there, we checked on Thursday and we were told on Friday, we left a day early due toworkerwthereworkers and hadthe e us

Stay at Lake Leelanau

Cozy little cottage on the lake but was a little crammed in between 2 larger houses with trees half blocking the lake view. Nice screened in porch and deck. Cottage was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our 2 day stay. It was a little hard to find as the listing has the wrong house #, which was next to our rental. Only negative was our last evening there when we went to the dock area to relax on a beautiful evening with a beverage before dinner and the owner came back out to mow again which chased us back inside.

Beautiful cottage

We had a nice stay at this lovely spot in the middle of the Leelanau Peninsula. I had a fair amount of trouble finding the cottage - it’s tucked behind the owner’s garage. No phone number was provided for the property manager, but I did eventually locate the cottage. An added bonus were all the beautiful flowers on the property!

Perfect location, Beautiful View!

Well appointed classic cottage with comfortable beds and nice, new appliances. Wifi and a/c unit worked great, lots of fans and linens provided. Gas grill was super clean and picnic table sturdy but light enough to slide around the yard during the day. The yard and flower beds are beautiful and so nicely manicured. Plenty of parking for a boat and the waterfront is gorgeous! Nice fire pit and dock with a shallow sandy bottomed lake! Proximity to local towns, shopping, dining and other lakes is perfect!
