Beautiful sunsets!

Very nice house, plenty of space for our group, a few issues with appliances(coffee maker, washer). We rented the pontoon for one day and had a really good time. Downstairs bedrooms were very cold. Overall , we really enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay! The house was perfect for our group of 13 girls celebrating a bachelorette party—plenty of room for everyone and very comfortable. The location was great, and the lake access was definitely a plus. The listing pictures definitely don’t do it justice—we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The only downside was that the host did not respond to any of our messages, which made communication difficult. Overall, the house itself was wonderful and worked out really well for our trip.

Nice place to stay.

What a great place to stay, beautiful view of the lake and close to TC. It was clean and plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and be comfortable. Lots of parking for our family. The pictures on vrbo does not do it justice. Had a trouble with the lock box for the key. Other then that would stay again.

We had a great time on our trip and it was mostly thanks to this cabin. Lovely inside, so much space, and a really spacious and well-equipped kitchen area. Property manager was available for contact with any questions and his family owns cabins in the area, so they were also available for any questions. Clean, stocked cabin. Thank you!

Great house and lake access

This was a great property for a large group. Probably best for families with kids. Several of the beds are together in the basement with no privacy. Probably a good place for a group of kids. The deck was big with a great view. Large kitchen and living area for gathering. A boat was available for an additional fee which was great. The owners were very nice to deal with.

Great Place

This house was very clean and well kept. It has a beautiful view of the lake. It is more updated looking than the pictures show. There was plenty of room for our group of 12. The only thing that we would change is the lock pad to get in. It was a little old and tricky to use at times.

Location and View is Fabulous!

This rental with Lake Leelanau access was excellent. My family of 13 had plenty of room with 3 bathrooms and many beds. (The half bath in the lowest level is actually a vanity.) The location is close to Leland, Lake Leelanau, Suttons Bay, Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes.The photos do not do the rental justice. Some of the beds have changed and the living room is not dark like the photo. We all walked in and said the same thing . . . this is much nicer than the pics.The view was my favorite in the morning and the evening.Overall, we had a very good time and would like to stay here again.
