Perfect Spot

The property was perfect for our family. Being right on the water was perfect for swimming, playing and paddle boarding. The location was central to all the local towns and sights. The home was recently renovated and they did everything right to make your time there enjoyable. Property management was very attentive and quick to help out. The property has plenty of privacy while still being connected to other neighboring properties. I highly recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed.

Leelanau Blue, Oct, 2022

What a wonderful location! We go to Lake Leelanau every year in October, and this was our first time at this property. It has recently been updated and everything is first rate. The kitchen and living areas are comfortable and we’ll appointed. The bedroom and bed in the master bedroom is comfortable and has a great view of the lake. And the bathroom, with its heated floor and roomy shower is great. The location is great…close to Lake Leelanau and Sutton’s Bay.

Beautiful quiet location. We can get here without traveling through the bustle of Traverse City. Property was clean and newly remodeled. We booked the property with the hopes of using the kayaks and doing some fishing on the lake however there was only one paddle remaining. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and accessories.

Amazing home on a very private lot on a sheltered shoreline of Lake Leelanau. Home was very clean, very well stocked and very comfortable beds. The property was well maintained and very quite and peaceful. Great location as it is close to Suttons Bay, Lake Leelanau and even Leland.

Change of Location

Mother Nature had alternate plans for me this trip. Due to the cold temps, understandably the pipes at this property were frozen. The Property Management company was very accommodating and contacted me in advance and found me an alternate property nearby with similar accommodations/amenities. I was very pleased with the alternate location as well as the customer service. Unfortunately this means I cannot provide a helpful review. I hope to stay at the Lakehouse on Lake Leelenau in the future.
