Top Lake Leelanau Hotel Reviews

Direct Lake Leelanau sunset view, fire pit, grill, dock, boat lift, dog ok

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was everything we needed for a long weekend Up North. There's no AC, but it wasn't ever too hot in late Aug/early Sept. Very shaded, I think. Fans available as well. The pictures don't do the "fun porch" justice. There was all kinda of lake toys in there for our use. They even had a yard spike for a dog run--which was a blessing. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay with Visit Up North again."

Three bedroom cabin on Lake Leelanau. Faces west with amazing sunsets.

Completely remodeled on inside. 3 bedrooms all nice size. Living room had comfortable chairs and was able to set up my you tube tv. Dining was good. Kitchen was nice no stove. But there is grill outside and toaster oven to cook in. Bathroom had nice shower in it. Clean inside when I arrived. reasonable price and nice outdoor furnishings tire and lake views.

10/10 Excellent

"It was Fabulous !!! We All Enjoyed So Much !"

Cute cabin in our private woods, close to a bike trail, winery, and lakes

10/10 Excellent

"If you are heading to the Traverse City area, you can’t beat this place for convenience and for everything that it offers. Very close to everything and also secluded enough in the woods that you felt like you were under miles from anything. The cabin was fully stocked with everything that you would need just like you would at home close to sleeping Bear dunes and also other bike trails in the area. Would love to come back if if we get the chance you can’t go wrong with this place Beth and Terry were great hosts and would love to see them again."

Nature Getaway, Menu breakfast served in your room

10/10 Excellent

"We would stay here again. It was very cozy and comfortable with everything you could need. The sunrises.in the morning off the back deck were beautiful and the cool evenings watching the wildlife...deer and even a bear, what fun. Sue, the host was the sweetest, so welcoming and hospitable. Her breakfasts, made to order, were delicious and a great way to fuel up for the day. She went above and beyond with some fresh baked cookies when we arrived and a cheese and grape tray in the fridge. We loved our stay and hope to be back some day. Blessings, Lana and Gregg McCauley"

Quiet and private sandy bottom lakefront

8/10 Good

"We had a great time. The place was super clean and nice with a great little dock and indoor and outdoor porch. The place is close to the other houses with the owners living right next door. They were super nice and helpful, and we enjoyed talking to them. If you are looking for a place on the lake that is very private this may not be the place. The only things that I feel could be better, but they are super minor is a designated parking spot for the rental house that is well designated. Blinds that can close on the window facing the lake. All other windows have blinds but these and the way other houses are placed they can see in the house from theirs and last is a sidewalk or paving stones leading to the front door, so you don't have to walk through the grass if you use that door. There is a sidewalk going to the back door, but it takes you next to the homeowner's place which makes you feel like you are invading their home. Again, we really loved the place and had a fantastic time. No place is perfect so my little minor things definitely would not keep us from staying their again."

Large, vintage farmhouse in central Leelanau County. 10 mins to Lk Mich beach

10/10 Excellent

"This charming country house was delightful! Each bedroom was clean, simple, comfortable, and equipped with a mirror. (We've often encountered places with too few mirrors for our group of women.) All three full-size bathrooms were clean, well-equipped, and great for our large group. There was an initial worry about going to a place with no air conditioning at the end of the summer. And although there was heat (86 degrees) and tons of humidity, the high ceilings and fans in every room made for a very comfortable place to stay. Its location being near to Traverse City, Glen Haven, Suttons Bay, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Fishtown and more made for a deliciously wonderful experience!"
