The house was large with lots of bedrooms, though the layout was a little awkward with one bedroom also serving as a passthrough. The view of the water and access to the lake was nice, but the lake is separated from the house by M22. Crossing the highway was a little stressful, especially with children. The kitchen is very small and outdated and some minor amenities like the trash can and hairdryer need to be replaced. The property manager was very thoughtful and checked in with us after a strong thunderstorm knocked out power in the area (we were fine).

We stayed for a week in June. We felt the house could of been cleaner, floors were dirty, one toilet dirty and the sheets did not smell clean at all. Downstairs bedroom had a very weird musty chemical smell, we had to stop and get an air fresher for it. The layout is definitely difficult when the back bedroom you are stuck in if someone is in bathroom and middle bedroom is pass through. It was sufficient for week, but would not recommend.

Planning a family reunion with family in 5 different states is not easy. Having spent our summers in upper Michigan, we knew that our destination would be somewhere in Michigan, ideally on the west coast; we decided on the Traverse City area. We found Drake’s Bluff in Leland that was big enough for everyone.What a fantastic find! Beautiful home perched on a bluff overlooking Lake Leland.Enough bedrooms and baths to accommodate everyone. Outside areas with large deck and Firepit were amazing. Two full kitchens and living areas! Bonus was the shuffle board table and nightly tournamentsWe had an issue with the WiFi on Sunday right before World Cup final. A call to property manager Jodi, had that issue resolved immediately. In fact Jodi was available and accommodating during our entire stay.Location couldn’t have been better with Leland, Fish Town, Glen Arbor, Sutton’s Bay, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Empire, and Traverse City, all close by..The only issue is that it is a bit hard to find. Maybe signage would help. But once you do find it, you are in for a treat!This truly was a great place for our family reunion. 10/10 recommendation!

Great spot with great views of Lake Leelanau and close to Leland!

We had a fantastic time at this property for the week. The property is as advertised. We enjoyed the fire pit every night and the amazing views. The location being so close to Leland is fantastic. It is a little difficult getting down to the dock and the lake (have to be careful crossing the road), but the lake is amazing.
