This property was a good location to Good Harbor Beach. It served the purpose that we needed it to serve. The only few down sides are that the air conditioning was only in the living space and not in the bed room, which was okay after the first few 2 nights. The other thing we found slightly inconvenient was we couldn’t lock the cottage
We loved our week at Peggy and Paul's updated traditional cottage. The location is *perfect* -- in the quiet of the woods, but only a mile from Good Harbor Bay Beach (a wonderful beach for swimming, walking, running, and watching the sunset and which allows dogs on part of it). And so convenient to everything in Leelanau and TC! The cottage is comfortable and much more spacious than the pictures show. The updated kitchen and grill are great to cook in/on, and the dining room table on the three-season porch made it easy to cook for ourselves and eat surrounded by the trees and the fresh air (and no bugs!). The sunny living room and the breezy porch were both great at different times and in different weather. Plenty of space to spread out. Our dog loved it when we opened all the windows and doors and she could smell the woods and watch for critters. The beds were comfortable (though I wish I had brought my own pillow -- I'm picky!) and the bathroom small but adequate, with a surprising amount of space to stow the stuff of three people. Having a laundry was great, too. The half bath is part of the laundry room, which might be awkward for some, but we didn't mind. I found the mirrored medicine cabinet in there great for getting ready while someone else was using the shower in the full bath. The yard, deck, and surrounding woods were all lovely, too. Peggy was easy to contact and she left detailed instructions on our arrival. All in all, a wonderful time. Would come again!
We loved our stay at this charming treetop cottage!! The central location is close to everything and especially Good Harbor beach. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck and eating our meals there while listening to the birds and wildlife. The cottage has super comfy bed linens and towels, and the kitchen is modern with great cooking area and supplies. The owner was quick and responsive when we had a question. We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and especially the quiet and serene escape off the beaten path!!
We had everything we needed at this lovely up North cottage. The kitchen is beautiful, with new appliances. Loved the screened in porch that makes you feel like you’re in a treehouse. Light and airy tv room with comfortable sofa and a square coffee table perfect for playing board games. Nice gas grill and deck. The beautiful wooded setting around the cottage gives you privacy. Nice yard for throwing a frisbee. Laundry room with washer and dryer is a nice bonus. It’s a great location - close to gorgeous Good Harbor beach (on the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore) Sleeping Bear sand dunes, Leland’s Fishtown, Glen Arbor, and the list goes on. I have vacationed in the Leelanau Peninsula since I was a young child, and I can say that this is one of the best places I have stayed. Peggy is a terrific host!
We had a great stay. The cottage is more spacious and comfortable than the pictures suggest, with a large deck. Beautiful wooded setting, very quiet. Great location near Leland with a wonderful beach on Lake Michigan a 5 minute drive away. We would definitely go back again.
Hiking and Beach days always enjoyable
So close to the beach and very tranquil!
The wooded setting is quiet and peaceful, and Peggy is a pleasant and thoughtful host. Generally, the cottage has very usable spaces. The recently updated kitchen is really very nice, and the large, enclosed porch is lovely – open the screened windows and enjoy the air. The living room a bright and comfortable and the bedrooms adequate. We appreciated the table, chairs, and new propane grill on the large deck but use footwear to avoid slivers from the old deck boards. The aging bathroom is functional, about what you’d expect in an older cottage. We appreciated the wifi since cell service is weak. We didn’t use the washer/dryer, but they’d be convenient for longer stays. Overall, this is a reasonably priced rental in a great location within beautiful Leelanau County.
My month at this cottage flew by. I loved it. It is part of a gorgeous property with owner's manor next door. Such a beautiful spot. This cottage is nestled in the woods next to their house. It is peaceful, well kept, near the beach. The owner's were not present, but were in contact with all needs. So glad I made this choice, and I have a fond memory of it. Even tho its just yesterday I left. :) A sanctuary in nature for sure. 3
We had a nice week at The Cottage. Peggy is very responsive and the cottage was clean and ready for us. The location is perfect; we love all of the Leelanau Peninsula and this spot near Good Harbor Beach is perfect. The cottage is large with lots of windows for views into the woods and nice breezes. You might want to bring your own lawn chairs for the porch; there are only two chairs there and they have thick cushions that were usually damp. All-in-all, we were happy with our stay.
The cottage is really larger than photos reveal. With two living areas there was plenty of room for five adults. The sunroom with the twin bed was like sleeping in a treehouse. The location couldn’t be better for beach access at Good Harbor, we walked most of the time. We cooked all meals in the cabin, it’s well equipped. No need to bring your own towels, Peggy has equipped the cottage with large, thick fluffy cotton towels. One thing to keep in mind, this a heavily forested rural location and there are some inconveniences city folks aren’t used to, but the cottage and it’s location outweigh them. We had a lovely time, it was just too short!
