Stayed Aug 9, 2025The cottage is in a beautiful, quiet part of Cedar, close to nature and local attractions. It has great charm and the potential to be a truly special getaway. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and the character of this older, family-owned home.We know how much Memo meant to the family, and the cottage reflects that love. It’s a generational home, full of warmth and history, and clearly a work in progress — but it should be priced and listed accordingly.This is not a negative review of the owners or the property itself, but of the management company and their inability to maintain proper cleanliness. Upon arrival, we found several items left from previous guests: an open bottle of vodka, a used razor in the bathroom trash, greasy pans in the oven, a funeral program in the hutch, and even a contact lens that ended up on my wife’s phone after she set it on a table.For the price, we expected hotel-level cleanliness. We were so dissatisfied we left a day early, but the management company refused to refund the unused night.With improved housekeeping and an accurate listing, this could be a truly wonderful rental experience.

Stayed Jul 9, 2025We liked the up north feel of the log cabin experience. A comfortably cooled vaulted ceiling living room. A beautiful view on the back 4 seasons room. Lake leelenau is great for our little hobie. There are not a lot of boats out on that gorgeous lake and plenty of wind and water. It is less than 2 minute drive to bel lago which is one of the best wineries on the peninsula. Cedar is a great resource. the coffee shop and the market in particular. so many goodies. we hope to come back and stay again.

Stayed Jul 27, 2024Property was in a great location on the water! Decor was a little dated and Lots of knick knacks that were very tempting for our little ones to play with. Had to keep a vigilant eye on them to make sure they didnt break anything.

Stayed Jul 13, 2024Unique little cottage on the lake. Our family of 6 had a wonderful week. We especially loved the dock/swimming/kayaks and relaxing on the porch playing games.

Stayed Jul 6, 2024Our family of 7 loved staying at Lake Leelenau! It was the perfect location for camping, swimming, fishing, sightseeing, and simply relaxing with a great view. The cabin has all the essentials needed for a flawless trip and the manager was very helpful and considerate. We would definitely return for another vacation in the future! Michigan is just beautiful!

Stayed Jun 22, 2024This cottage is vintage northern Michigan. If you are looking for charming Up North style, you're in the right place. If you're looking for new/luxury, keep looking.

Stayed Aug 12, 2023We had an excellent week at Memo's! Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay there very much. The cabin was clean and well-equipped, and the lake view was fantastic. My daughter and enjoyed the kayaks and all 4 of us had fun playing Uno and puzzles almost every night and enjoying a bonfire. The cabin has a unique charm. We loved looking at all the little knick knacks...light switch covers, door knocker, bottle opener, old maps of Leelanau, the old (and many) postcards from your family, the old Traverse City newspaper from Ford's visit, and the MANY owls and birds throughout. Thank you for sharing your lovely piece of property on Lake Leelanau!

Stayed Sep 17, 2021Very excellent view and beautiful sunrises and moonrises on the lake - property was slightly musty - needs a good deep cleaning but otherwise excellent stay!!! And luckily, we ended up only have 4 people - with only one bathroom, it would have been hard to have 6 adults in the cabin...
