Lakefront Cottage on South Lake Leelanau, Dock, Pontoon Available, Dog Friendly

Hosts were easy to contact and responded promptly. Well stocked kitchen. Especially appreciated the variety of spices provided. Water front provided plenty of play space for the kids and adults.

Adorable up north cottage with a beautiful lake front yard. Home is clean and well maintained. Would stay again!

Very clean cute home right on Lake Leelanau, near to many many fun venues. We totally enjoyed our stay. We are annual VRBO renters and we highly recommend this property!

The cottage and grounds were very nice. Everything worked fine. The only minor flaw was that the house was listed as 5 bedrooms but is really 4 plus the sofa bed in the living room. The owners are great folks, very helpful!

The house and property were outstanding. We had lots of fun playing in the lake and fishing on the boat. The house is close to lots of wineries and also close to Traverse City. We had an amazing time!

This cottage was comfortable, spacious and exceptionally well-stocked! We loved being right on the water and having access to the pontoon and kayaks was so fun. Quick drives to TC and Sutton's Bay. Ryan and Annie were helpful and quick to respond.

This cottage is located on the southeast end of Lake Leelanau. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for a week including gas grill, beautiful deck, well stocked kitchen, fans in upper bedrooms, wifi, television, fire pit, kayaks, pontoon boat (extra charge). The location is great being about 10 minutes from Suttons Bay, 20 minutes to Traverse City, excellent access to Leelanau Trail bike paths, and many lovely wineries. We had a great time! Hosts are very good about answering text messages and e-mails promptly.

We had a great week in Carols Cottage! Everything was as advertised! We had great outdoor space for the grandkids to play around, and lots of included toys. Sand toys to mess around with and kayaks to paddle in the lake! The Cottage was clean and well equipped, giving us a lot of space live. All of it was very comfortable. Lovely patio furniture to enjoy the weather, as well as a great grill for cooking. Very close to town and many restaurants! Great place to take the family!

We come from Maryland to visit family every summer and we have stayed at several nice STRs on lakes and rivers in the TC area. But this place is simply spectacular! We rented the pontoon boat and we spent hours each morning and evening putting along shorelines admiring the beauty. The south end of the lake has so much beauty with woods and marshes along the shore (so many lakes are now crowded with McMasions) and where Bear Creek feeds into the Lake - peaceful - serene- beautiful! (I messed with the fuel line on the pontoon boat and Jeff came right out and fixed it while we were having dinner at my Mom’s nearby- very responsive and attentive hosts!) my siblings have grandchildren and they swam off the dock until exhaustion and hunger drove them back up to the house! We did some fishing as well. It’s a big deep lake so if you want to fish do your homework! Best fish on the boat was about a 4lb largemouth my brother’s grandson caught on the west side using a jitterbug on the surface. Google the location of Cherry Bend Market (straight south on Cherry Bend Rd) for excellent fresh meats and your morning fresh baked goods. Just as the Sun is dropping in late afternoon it gets hot for 2-3 hours so we usually went out on the boat during this part of the day then watched a glorious sunset every evening. You won’t find a nicer lake cottage- and rent the pontoon boat!! Enjoy your stay!

Ryan and his family were great hosts!
