Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our third year staying at Leelanau Blue. It is everything we look for in a vacation rental. Most of all the view is spectacular. We vacation in October and are treated to a colorful display that gets better every day. Additionally, the location is perfect for the things we like to do, restaurants where we eat, groceries, wineries, etc. And for days when we just want to relax, knit, read cook and eat in, the cottage is perfect for that.

We loved staying at this little cottage. They did a great job on the remodel. Cute and cozy. Great view. All the furniture was very comfy. I would recommend bringing water shoes lake bottom more of a sand/clay mixture. Firepit was very nice. We had a great time.

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.

Great view of sunset. Very nice cottage, welll equipped and comfortable beds Well located for visiting the western side of Grand Traverse Bay We should have checked when leaves had max color change. We wanted to have fireplace blazing and settle down with good book. Weather was comfortably warm and a fire was not needed. Quiet neighborhood. Everywhere we stayed on the trip had lowest grade TP ever created. WHY. charge $3/dat more

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 3 humans and a dog had a great stay. The house was perfect for a group our size, and the location is convenient to everything up north. We swam, boated, read on the deck, watched the Olympics. The house had everything we needed -- dishes, kayaks, comfy seating indoors and out, fire pit, big yard -- except I didn't notice in the listing that there's no washer/dryer; wasn't an issue once we went shopping, but something to keep in mind when you pack.

Otherwise the house was nicely filled with kitchen gadgets and met all of our needs. It was a great location, especially if you want to hit the wineries. The back deck was perfect. My father has mobility issues and the single floor living was ideal.

It must have been redone recently, because all of the details were on point. Completely updated and incredibly inviting. Was a great place to come back to after a day on the water / out wine-tasting! Would certainly recommend this property to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway.

Little disappointed the county only allows 4 guests, but perfect for the guests I took this time. The location was great. No more than 15 minute drive to any attraction we wanted to visit. Will definately rent again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a beautiful property on lovely Lake Leelanau! This impeccably redone cottage has everything you want or need for your stay. Both functional and fun details in this small space! And quality kitchen supplies, lacking for nothing. As a late season renter, we did have to rely on living room heater unit, which made bedrooms on the cold side, but heavy duvets on the bed compensated pretty well.

The house itself was extremely clean and so cute— we loved the cute design of the place as well as some of the creature comforts like the heated bathroom tile and blackout shades. The property was also beautiful— a nice yard, a sturdy dock, and a very convenient boat lift. The property Is in a great location, too. We spent time in Leland right around the corner, Sutton’s Bay only 7 minutes away,, and some quick trips to Traverse city.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this little cottage and the rennovations they made. We had a very relaxing and sunny week. Clean, nice new bathroom, nice outdoor furniture, cozy bedrooms.Two areas to improve: there are 3 kayaks but only 2 paddles. There is, unbelieveably, no microwave. Every other thing you would need is in the kitchen but no microwave..? We would love to come back!

The pictures for this place are wonky. They need to get rid of the old pictures, because it is beautiful inside. All redone. It really is a lovely place. It was private and peaceful because it was late fall and no one was up there. Now in the summer, I can imagine there being no privacy because the properties are very close to each other. You can’t get a better location for visiting wineries. Make sure to visit L Mawby Vineyards!! We stayed here for a girls weekend. Loved the real wood fireplace inside. There was wood kind of scattered around the property, so make sure you look for some there before you buy any. They had salt and pepper but that’s about it for cooking. They have a ton of pots, pans, sheet pans, etc.. The beds were comfy. The shower head is great. Looking forward to staying here again. It was really nice to wake up and see the foggy lake every morning.
