    Very nice cottage on the Lake. Spent time for Fall Colors, place was immaculately clean, had a friendly floor plan and was a great place for RR. Owner is very nice, made sure stay went seamlessly. Would def stay again!

    Coming from South Florida, we were very pleased with this adorable house on the lake. It is tucked back in a nice neighborhood but still maintains a lot of privacy. We utilized the fire pit every night, the dock, and fishing tackle. We were here for a wedding and we had friends staying next door which was so convenient and fun. Deb, the host, was MORE than friendly and welcoming even before we arrived. That is great because I felt like if we needed her, she would be responsive. That is something I have not always experienced with rentals. Everything went smoothly and we had a great time there. You will love it

    My husband, 15 month old daughter and I had a wonderful stay at Mellow Yellow! The best week of our year so far. We enjoyed dinners on the back porch looking out over the lake and reading by the firepit in the evenings. The cottage is in a great location for exploring- we hiked, kayaked, went to lighthouses and wineries. Debbie was such an accommodating host. We hope to be back!

    We had an outstanding stay at Mellow Yellow! It was spotless upon entry and was quite possibly the best equipped cottage we have ever rented! The setup was exactly like the pics showed- not big but because there are two bedrooms upstairs AND a full bath we never felt cramped. There are plenty of chairs and places to spread out. All furniture is in fantastic shape and comfortable and beds were obviously newer! Bathroom towels were very nice and there was plenty of soap, shampoo and laundry detergent! They even had plenty of spices for cooking. We couldn’t have been more impressed. That said, I believe our favorite spots at Mellow Yellow was the front yard and deck. Plenty of chairs, a nice dock, lake views, picnic table and an excellent campfire area that we used almost every night! Finally, we were very impressed with the manager- Deb! She was super attentive and very knowledgeable of the area and fun things to do and places to go! Thanks again for an outstanding week! We look forward to our next stay!

    This place couldn’t have been any better! We had the most wonderful week here with family- the kids enjoyed the water toys and the adults loved spending time on the patio watching them play in the water. The Host was wonderful- kind and excellent communication! Can’t recommend this place enough- We will be back!

    My family of four enjoyed our Memorial weekend at this perfect cottage! The location was great, near Traverse City, Leland, Northport and Glen Arbor. They had all the amenities we needed. They had water toys for the kids and kayaks/canoe to use also. We had a great weekend!

    My wife and I stayed here M-F the second week in October. We came for the fall foliage, scenic drives, wineries, cideries and relaxation in a cozy house on a lake. All boxes checked…we had a perfect week! This house had plenty of room, was well equipped and the entire rental process was flawless!

    Absolutely wonderful cottage situated beautifully between so many activities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay- the house itself is lovely, the view is beautiful, kids loved the kayaks and fishing, quick drive to Leland/Suttons Bay/Northport/Bike trails, and the owner was incredibly kind, prompt, and informative. Thank you for such a great spot!

    Our lil family of 5 (3 kids aged 9-11) had a wonderful stay at the Mellow Yellow cottage! Anything you could think of they had! This was a great location! We have friends that live on the lake and they were able to come dock their boat and stay for a s’more visit and the sunset views were spectacular. We will be back!

    The cabin was cute, clean, and perfect for a trip up North. Great location on the lake and easy to get to town, as well as Traverse City. The kayaks, canoes, and the dock were perfect for a hot summer day. The hosts were also wonderful! Would stay here again!

    Our family has been visiting Leland, Michigan (just down the road from Lake Leelanau and Suttons Bay) for over 60 years. My daughters and I returned for the first time in 15 years with new spouses and a baby! The rental was an excellent home base to visit friends, the beach, and return to favorite local spots. The house was modern, spotless, well equipped. Best of all, it was charming and comfortable. The sunsets were beautiful and the beds were super comfy. The host could not have been more accessible and accommodating. We are all hoping to make it an annual get together!

    The property interior was clean and well- maintained, well stocked, and comfortable! The property manager was very kind, and extremely flexible and communicative!!! We were able to dock our boat at the house and enjoyed a few days of swimming, bonfires, boating, and playing in the nice backyard. We love Leland and Mellow Yellow offered great place to stay while enjoying our favorite area.

    Annual girl’s trip to the Sutton’s Bay Area. Great home with lake front property. Quiet area with large deck and fire pit. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and hope to be back next year! The property manager was in touch for all our needs. The bottle of wine and fresh bread upon our arrival was a great touch! We highly recommend this home. It’s exactly what we had hoped for. The lake was amazing!
