Overall recommendations
It was a nice rustic cabin for family vacation and fishing. We chose it for proximity to lake michigan beaches and nature conservancy trails. The directions were not correct..the address on the info sent to us, did not match the address on the cabin. I left a note on the table with the correction. Other directions were good on sheet but address was wrong. Both screen doors should be replaced...chipmunks came inside back door that would not close completely. We could have closed the heavy doors but it was high 80 degrees and we needed cross cabin ventilation. Otherwise, all was nice...very comfy beds, clean, quiet experience without
neighbors.

Awesome cabin!
This cabin was awesome and the lake is gorgeous! If you’re wanting to get out of the hustle and bustle of Traverse City, but still be close to beauty, this place is perfect. Suttons Bay is only an 8 minute drive with lots of restaurants and shopping. The only issue was finding the place. The address we were provided with our reservation did not match the address on the outside of the cabin or inside the cabin on the paperwork posted on the refrigerator. We had to call the property management company when we got there because the addresses did not match. They were helpful, but I feel like a lot of that could be elevated with the cabins being better marked. Other than that, the place is perfect!!

Good little cabin on lake
Overall a good visit, but the first night they only left 1t. of dish soap for us so we had to call to try and get more the next day. People are right, the place is very hard to find. We were right there, but along with about 8 other cabins. The address isn't even correct and the cabin not labeled. They could do much better with this. Nice to swim on lake and go to bike trails.

Wonderful place to stay if you're comfortable with spending time with the owner and her family!
The owner and her family live on either side of the property. The space between their two homes is the space you will be renting. They are SUPER friendly, accommodating, fun, and giving people. They made friends with our children, gave them compliments, and helped us with our 9-year-old when he hurt his foot on the rocks in the lake. Allowed our older dog to be off-leash and offered us food. They told us the place's history as it had been in their family for 70 years and asked us how we were. They were pleasant to be around and spend time with. The cabin was cozy and accommodating! The beds were comfortable, with plenty of pillows and blankets. We felt at home here. We don't mind having neighbors and being friendly in a common-shared space, so it wasn't a problem. If you want privacy, it may be a little off-putting at first, but their hospitality makes you feel like a part of the family. If you are OK with that, I'd recommend it! My only complaint is the address that the rental company provides you is not the same as the address listed on the house. We would have been totally lost if it weren't for the owner being there. We arrived after 5 pm, so the rental company was closed and did not answer their phone. Even the pictures of the outside of the home look different than when they were taken, so it's challenging to find. During office hours, the rental company is more than helpful, though!

Adorable Old Fashioned Lake Camp
The cottage was a wonderful throwback to my childhood on Lake Leelanau. It could have used a little more attention to cobweb removal but otherwise clean. One major issue that VRBO needs to address is the house number and signage inconsistency. There was one house number on the email, the number on the house itself was missing a digit but even substituting the digit it didn't match the email and there was a third number on the welcome note on the refrigerator. There was no name on the cottage but there was an antler next to the door that said "Drift-Wood". This cottage was supposed to be "Tackle Box". Also, the cottage isn't really tan, it is more of a gold / mustard color. This made for an uncomfortable time wandering around looking at all the cabins to make sure we had the right one. The neighbors were NOT amused. Other than that, things were GREAT! King bed was comfortable and we could hear the waves at night.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
My husband and I as well as our friends enjoyed our stay at this cute quaint cabin! Everything we wanted to do was short driving distance from the cabin & LOTS of winery’s in close proximity! We will definitely be back! Would be perfect for a summer getaway as the cabin is right on the lake!

Tackle box
Very rustic. Pictures in listing were not the same as the Cabin. Had to buy cleaning supplies as Tv stand was coated in dirt. New electrical. No place to put your drink while watching tv. On last day there a couple was sitting in lounge chairs when I returned from lunch. They said friends of family. Nice people but strange they would be there to sit in the sun.

Windy side of lake
Cabin was ok. King bed had a topper with regular sized sheets. Had to remake the bed every day. Tv only worked at 1 volume and only for subscription streaming. No batteries in one of remotes. Kitchen adequate. Lake view was lovely, but we had 30 mph winds most of the week. Musty smell and carpeted. Will look for another location next time

Average at best
The key did not come out of the lock box first thing. There is a dock with a boat docked to it at all times. This dock cannot be used --makes no sense that some can use it and others cannot. We were forced to walk through the seaweed to get to our boat at the mooring and I got "the itch." The owner of the land is right next door and let's you know it. They also let you know the slightest thing "wrong" that is done incorrectingly per them. Kids and adults were constantly crossing through the property --we felt no privacy. The deck and lawn chairs were taken from us --my kids could not use them when they wanted/needed --they were finally returned. The floor near the back door is soft and is about to fall in at anytime. Half of the windows do not open or there is not a place to hook them open for the hot days. The cookware is very limited --very odd strainer. There is not a space heater on the cold nights. There was not a dumpster for our trash. It was there one day and then disappeared after the holiday forcing us to take our trash with us. However, there was soap, trash bags, paper towels, and towels/was cloths. Final conclusion: avaerage at best.
