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

We love Lake Leelanau!
The cottage was well maintained. Beautiful gardens!! It lacks a paved walkway to the door.(I am using a cane).
The WiFi code provided by the website was incorrect.
Loved the fire pit.
Overall a great stay! Thank you!

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!

Lovely cottage right on Lake Leelenau. Very clean. All amentities listed.
Perfect dock to sit on, read and watch the waves. Too cold to swim but we did last year and enjoyed it.
Great owners and we hope to visit again.

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!

Drag on in
This was our second year staying here and we had an enjoyable time. We love the owners. Just a couple things. The blinds in both bedrooms could be replaced. They don’t close properly. The other is to leave detailed directions in the book on how to operate the remote for heating/cooling. Not everyone would think to slide the remote open to locate buttons for operating.
