We had a great stay. The location was centrally located to the three major towns nearby (Glen Arbor, Leland, and Suttons Bay). We were pleasantly surprised that Cedar had useful amenities as well, such a a gas station, grocery store, hardware store, restaurant, and some gift shops to name a few. The Cabin was very clean, the kitchen well stocked with everything that you would need, as well as towels and linens. There was a wall mounted split unit that kept the cabin a good temperature. We would recommend.

The cabin was in a beautiful location with dock access and a fire pit and BBQ, it was well furnished. The only issue was the water had a sulfur odor so we used bottled water for drinking and coffee. We had a great stay, good times and friendly people!!

This nice cozy cottage was on Lake Leelenau and offered great views of the lake. The cottage was very clean and came with all of the items needed for an enjoyable stay.
