Reviewer Comments:
Dog friendly! Great location!
The view from this property is amazing with beautiful sunrises. The home is cozy and welcoming. The perfect location to explore the Leelanau peninsula. The property managers checked in to ensure our stay was flawless and promptly answered questions we had.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Violet's View. It is a beautiful home and location, the view is stunning! The hosts truly thought of everything their guests might need and made our stay so stress free. It was spotless, the cleaning crew should be commended for doing a fabulous job. While we did not bring any pets along I would certainly consider it in the future - the supplies provided and thoughtful touches regarding pets was impressive. There was not a single hint that any pet had ever been in the home, again totally spotless in that regard. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
