Lake life at its best

We really enjoyed this home on the lake. The kitchen has everything to make meals. The rooms and beds are comfortable. We especially enjoyed the oversized fire pit and chairs. The yard & lake view are beautiful. We hope to return.

Great Lake house

The property and lake frontage are great. We had a beautiful late summer day during our stay and we were able to swim in the lake. It’s a hard pack sandy bottom very convenient to swim off the dock. Communication with home owner was good and the location is convenient to TC and other towns in the area.

Lovely cottage

We were 3 couples in our late 60's and the cottage was perfect for us with 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The common living area was just the right size and the table seats 6. The windows across the front gave you a great view of the lake and the chairs and loungers on the patio were very inviting. Cottage was clean with plenty of linens and kitchen equipment. Will definitely plan another trip to Lake Leelanau.

Tim is an excellent host and very responsive. The property is a perfect getaway and close to many activities and attractions. Tim provided us with a contact to rent a pontoon boat which was a seamless process. We will definitely keep it in mind for future stays.

Great spot for a family getaway

We had a wonderful week at the cottage! The house is spacious, comfortable, and well-stocked. The location is great. The house is on a quiet street, and it's also well-situated for quick trips into Sutton's Bay and day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes and around the Leelanau peninsula. Vacationing with a toddler, we appreciated how kid-friendly the house is (no stairs to worry about , crib in one of the bedrooms, decor/furniture that didn't create hazards, etc.). As others mentioned, the backyard is great. We also appreciated the great views of the lake from inside and the indoor fireplace, as there were a few windy days during our fall visit when it was more comfortable to be inside.

Perfect Lake Leelanau retreat

We stayed for a week and the place had everything you could ask for. Tim was very helpful, he had a guy who we contacted to rent a pontoon for a week which worked out great. There are 2 sandy beach entries to amazing shallow sandy shoreline for well over 100 yards. Clear water on calm days, perfect for swimming even with our infant daughter. Nice sunset views looking west over the lake (we were there mid August). Easy drive to TC, Sutton's Bay, etc. 3 spacious bedrooms, especially the master. Great views of the lake from the unit. Kevin

Perfect vacation home

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home. The pictures don’t do it justice. Tim was a great host and we had no issues with check in or anything in the house. The view of the Lake Leelanau is beautiful, the house is clean, cozy and very comfortable. I would recommend this house highly and hope to come back again soon.
