Its in a great location, beautiful backyard and the place was large enough for the 5 of us to eat together and hang out without being on top of each other. We hope to stay here again in the future! ##### Jaclyn B.

We loved this house and location! So comfortable and plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfy. We so enjoyed the canoe and the dock was a lovely spot to enjoy the lake. Because it was late September, it was very quiet in the area and we loved the whole peninsula. Easy access to great golf, wineries, Sleeping Bear, and all of the adorable little towns around. ##### Janet W.

Bedrooms on main floor were nice to have. Kitchen supplies were great. Loved town of Suttons Bay. Envy restaurant was amazing. Enjoyed Ricks cafe overlooking Leland Dam in Fishtown. Close enough to Traverse City for shopping, but not too close for crowds there. ##### Susan R.

Clean, fully equipped with everything we needed for our week. The area is lovely. So much to do outside along with many cute little shops and good restaurants. We loved the fact that we could bring our dogs. Not far from Traverse City or Sleeping Bear Dunes. We loved it! ##### Kate G.

Great property-- very clean, well stocked, and cozy with the fireplace. The location was convenient to many wineries and restaurants. There were lots of "toys" (water and other), but it was too late in the season to use them. It would have been a great place for a family, with lots of yard to play in, and also far from the road (so safer for kids). Contact with the property manager was seamless, and check-in was no problem. We would recommend it! ##### Marcy P.

We had a wonderful stay… the house is centrally located for visiting wineries and sightseeing and a little hiking.It would have been a little easier getting eight adults ready in the morning if there had been 3 bathrooms and one other nit picky thing…the microwave could have been bigger with higher wattage. Otherwise, beautiful home and location ! ##### Cindy H.

The decorating was lovely, & the home was immaculate. We enjoyed the spaciousness of all the rooms. The back covered deck was a great feature with lots of chairs & great views of the water. The location was perfect for easy access to so many wineries & restaurants! A wonderful time was had by all! We would definitely recommend this home! ##### Lauren A.

Great location, great property. Beautiful views, spacious, clean, well-stocked home. Walking distance to Lake Leelanau restaurants and wine tastings. Short drive to Lake Michigan, wineries, and hiking trails. Also, loved spending time at the beautiful house, sitting on the dock, and soaking up the fall sun and the scenery. We had an amazing time and looking forward to next time! Appreciate our host who gave us so much great information about the area. ##### Cindy L.

The area was great for visiting Leland, Suttons Bay, Northport and Traverse City for shopping and eating. Also enjoyed the many wineries around us. There was much to do at the house as well: ping pong, cornhole, relaxing in the yard with barbecues and campfires. The lake was enjoyed for kayaking and canoeing. And loved renting a pontoon boat for an afternoon. The Leelanau area was delightful! ##### Michaeline H.

Moldy smell We enjoyed the lake via jet skis and kayaks/paddle board because the bottom here was super mucky. The beds are comfy and lots of water AV. ETC ##### Ellen M.

It was fun to be right in the narrows and by the boat launch - lots of activity! Also great to be within walking distance to ice cream, the grocery store, and restaurants. Awesome location. We had plenty of space - the bedrooms are spread out so that you're not on top of each other. The dock was perfect for our pontoon boat. Kitchen had everything we needed. The only thing we felt was missing was a second fridge/freezer, but we made do by keeping drinks cold in coolers. Would definitely recommend for large families! ##### Lauren H.

Melissa is easy to communicate with and answers questions quickly. There is plenty of living and sleeping space. We had 8 adults and 1 toddler. Plus we were able to bring our senior dog, Lincoln. The yard is large and there are plenty of chairs to sit around the fire. In my opinion, the back covered deck is the best. It looks out to the Narrows. We ate many meals on the deck. There is a lot to do within minutes of the home. It’s a short drive to Suttons Bay and downtown Leland/Fishtown. There are lots of restaurants and wineries close by. We always enjoy our time while we are there. ##### Karen N.

Its perfectly located. It is difficult to find in the dark as there is a large unlit driveway adjacent to a boat launch. GPS takes you to the boat launch. Other than that everything perfect. I would only suggest better wifi connectivity. My group had difficult time connecting. Also the TV could only broadcast internet type TV. Cable or YouTube TV wouldve been awesome. The TV in living room wouldnt allow us to cast to stream from our phones. Despite all that it was a 10/10. ##### Nicole E.

Large home, don’t believe it should be listed as a 5 bedroom, as there are not really 5 private bedrooms. The media room over garage has a bed and a closet with the bunk beds (which is 2 of the 5 rooms); these “rooms” are quite a trek to the nearest bathroom. The other 3 rooms were very nice. Kitchen seemed well equipped and they have a pantry with spices and misc items you can use if you are comfortable with that. Great dock and view of the lake. Grill, fire pit, outdoor seating all great. There’s kayaks available that looked great, we didn’t have a chance to use during our visit. Great proximity to wineries and Fishtown and the downtown; right next to the public boat ramps. Overall happy with our stay other than not truly a 5 bedroom in our opinion. ##### Melissa W.
