Wonderful cottage

My family of four enjoyed our Memorial weekend at this perfect cottage! The location was great, near Traverse City, Leland, Northport and Glen Arbor. They had all the amenities we needed. They had water toys for the kids and kayaks/canoe to use also. We had a great weekend!

Fall vacation getaway

My wife and I stayed here M-F the second week in October. We came for the fall foliage, scenic drives, wineries, cideries and relaxation in a cozy house on a lake. All boxes checked…we had a perfect week! This house had plenty of room, was well equipped and the entire rental process was flawless!

Absolutely wonderful cottage situated beautifully between so many activities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay- the house itself is lovely, the view is beautiful, kids loved the kayaks and fishing, quick drive to Leland/Suttons Bay/Northport/Bike trails, and the owner was incredibly kind, prompt, and informative.

A family's happy return to Leland

Our family has been visiting Leland, Michigan (just down the road from Lake Leelanau and Suttons Bay) for over 60 years. My daughters and I returned for the first time in 15 years with new spouses and a baby! The rental was an excellent home base to visit friends, the beach, and return to favorite local spots. The house was modern, spotless, well equipped. Best of all, it was charming and comfortable. The sunsets were beautiful and the beds were super comfy. The host could not have been more accessible and accommodating. We are all hoping to make it an annual get together!

Another great stay on LL

The property interior was clean and well- maintained, well stocked, and comfortable! The property manager was very kind, and extremely flexible and communicative!!! We were able to dock our boat at the house and enjoyed a few days of swimming, bonfires, boating, and playing in the nice backyard. We love Leland and Mellow Yellow offered great place to stay while enjoying our favorite area.

Annual Memorial Day Trip

Annual girl’s trip to the Sutton’s Bay Area. Great home with lake front property. Quiet area with large deck and fire pit. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and hope to be back next year! The property manager was in touch for all our needs. The bottle of wine and fresh bread upon our arrival was a great touch! We highly recommend this home. It’s exactly what we had hoped for. The lake was amazing!

Mello Yellow Vacation

We were so. pleased with the house (Mello Yellow). It was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the lake view off the deck was great! It is located in a quiet neighborhood and very close to wineries and small towns that offered our group many opportunities hike, shop and enjoy tastings from the wineries. The host was very attentive to any of our needs and communicated often before, during and and the end of our stay. We would highly recommend this property if you like the outdoors, touring and coming back to a quiet lakefront property.

5 Star Stay

I had a great stay at the property and the host was fantastic to communicate with, responded quickly and was very pleasant. The check in process was simple and easy. The house is perfect to spend a week in, is perfect in size and has a great outdoor space. Everything that you can think of this properly has. I spent a lot of time outside. The lake property is perfect for kids to swim in, the lake is sandy and is not extremely deep. I rented a boat for the week and the dock was perfect for docking and using the boat. The properly is also close both to downtown Leland and Suttons Bay which both have great options for lunch and dinner. I would highly recommended this property and will visit again.

Awesome stay on Lake Leelanau

We loved our stay at Mellow Yellow! The cottage is quaint, comfortable, and the location on the east side of the lake just north of the Narrows cannot be beat. The sunsets are incredible from here! The cottage is not modern, by any means, but it’s perfect for a quiet family vacation and it’s stocked with everything you need, including cookware, beach towels, kayaks and a canoe, laundry…everything!! It’s on a quiet private road that is just minutes to the village of Leelanau and a quick drive to Leland and Glen Arbor. Communication with Debbie, the property manager, was easy! We highly recommend a stay here and hope we can come back someday!

Peaceful cottage in Vacationland

Cottage is located on the lake narrows so peaceful as the boats that do come through need to do so slowly. The cottage was clean and welcoming. The host was super responsive and made suggestions for area favorites. We ate on the deck or at numerous area restaurants. Lake Michigan sites are all nearby. We kayaked and canoed down the narrows for ice cream or coffee, read, did puzzles, went for mountain bike rides and saw the sights. Great vacation spot!!

Perfect weekend getaway or longer stay

A clean comfy cottage with a beautiful view of lake Leelanau. Beautiful wooded setting quietly tucked away in the heart of the peninsula. Just a 2or3 minute drive from the village of Lake Leelanau and not far from leland and Suttons Bay. we enjoyed the comfortable furniture and beds. the.fireplace and streaming TV was also a pleasure when we returned from our day out and about. I look forward to coming back and enjoying the lake more when the weather is warmer. We will bring our teenager then for some sailing. Thanks to the pleasant host that made sure everything was perfect when we got there.

wonderful hosts, special place

the calm and collected nature of "mellow yellow" is far and above any expectations i could have had about this home. on day two we forgot the tv was there. we fell into the books we had been meaning to read over the past couple years- we forgot about email. you stop caring about if your phone is charged. we read by the fire listening to the lake. or the coyotes or loons and not the news. all the services or amenity you want are provided and completely accessible- but it does truly live up to name and description special shoutouts- we booked it early AM on morning of our check in when needing to extend our stay in the area. without asking we had our shoes off in a couple hours. hosts went above and beyond for everything.

Exceptional property. A true 6 star experience

Absolutely loved our stay here. We were hesitant at first since the property was a new listing with no reviews, but we are so glad we decided to stay here. Debbie was awesome. She was very responsive and accommodating, typically responding in just a few minutes to any of our questions. She worked very hard to make our stay here perfect and was very kind. The property itself was beautiful, both inside and out. It has a fantastic view of the lake and plenty of outdoor seating. The inside of the property felt homey and we loved the furniture/decorations. The beds were also very comfortable. Everything was very well taken care of and exceptionally clean. The property was also very well stocked. Compared to many other VRBOs I’ve stayed in, this property is above and beyond. From toiletries to pots and pans this VRBO had everything. There were also many toys we enjoyed including a bike, kayaks, and a canoe. This place is a gem, and my family and I had a ton of fun and will be back.
