Lake Leelanau Cottage , Traverse City, Leelanau County,PURE MICHIGAN

We had a wonderful stay at Matt's place. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed playing in the water off the dock. It was a hot week and the air conditioning worked well to keep us cool with the help of ceiling fans and other fans. For our son, he enjoyed finding the ducks hidden around the house. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a great two weeks at this modest home on the east side of Lake Leelanau between Suttons Bay and Traverse City. As avid cyclers, we loved that it was a short ride to the TART trail. The kitchen is well stocked, and had everything we needed to bake a pie with the berries we picked at Bulldog Berries (just a ten- minute drive away). The driveway is very steep - not a problem for our four-wheel drive vehicle, but a stretch for our other car. Pro-tip: the first night we were visited by numerous gnats and other insects - until we realized that there were large spaces around the window air-conditioner. Once we removed the air conditioner and closed the window, the problem was solved. The numerous fans kept the house comfortable inside.

It was the perfect place for a total getaway. I love Lake Leelanau and the surrounding areas. The cottage is cozy and the sunset views are spectacular.

My husband and I had a nice, relaxing week at Matt’s cottage. It has everything you need with the best spot on the lake. Sunsets are amazing! Wish we would have stayed two weeks. Thanks Matt!

Everything instead the house and the yard was great and exactly as expected. Unfortunately the driveway was extremely steep and difficult to get in and out of, even with 4 wheel drive. We had a fantastic time though. Matt was a great host. He had most essentials in the house for us.

We loved it and hope to back next year! Thanks Matt!

Beautiful lake, warm water, clean cabin with everything we needed. Quiet and quant stay close to lots of cute towns. Fox sighting in back yard, visit from mama duck with her babies, and loons calling at night made our visit all the more magnificent!

Just got back from a week at this quaint cottage and had a wonderful, relaxing time. The cottage is well stocked with every kitchen essential, and there were more than enough towels and linens provided. The Leelanau Peninsula's beauty is incomparable, and the cottage's proximity to the wineries, bike trail, and shopping was great. We were able to view the sunset each evening from the end of the dock, and the lake itself is so peaceful and quiet. It was hard to leave and return to our reality of city life, but we hope to stay again next summer. My only suggestion would be an outside umbrella, as with the loss of some beautiful trees last year due to some horrible weather there was no shade in the evenings until after 8:00. We had an exceptionally hot week (yay!) so this may not always be a problem for some. The view simply can't be beat, and the owners were more than accommodating in walking us through the cottage and providing us with tons of brochures for every sight-seeing possibility. We were very happy with our stay here, and are looking forward to staying again next summer.

A small, yet cozy, quiet and private cottage, proved to be a great home base for us during our visit to the Leelanau Peninsula. The cottage was clean, well-equipped, wi-fi enabled, with a firepit and a simply furnished deck and offered us a gorgeous view of Lake Leelanau for evening relaxation and drinking the wine we purchased during the day's journey. In addition, the relatively central location of the cottage in the peninsula made traveling to any site quick and easy. We used the Leelanau Peninsual Wine Trail app and found it to be very helpful. We were grateful for the good communication with the owners and that they provided quick and helpful service to us. One note -- the electrical outlets are the old two-prong ones and we would bring some adapters for the next visit. Overall, though, this was not a problem. We had a 5-star vacation visit here!

This cottage was a great place to unwind and relax. The only way that it could have been better was if Mother Nature had cooperated. When we arrived, the owner walked us through the cottage and explained everything. The owner offered information on the area for sight seeing, entertainment, and dining. He also gave us directions to the local grocery store. The cottage was clean and neat, and was stocked with everything you could possibly need. It had large windows, with a great view of the lake. We enjoyed sitting on the deck each evening to watch the sunset. We were glad that wi-fi was available for our use when the weather wouldn't hold. We liked the proximity to Traverse City, and Grand Traverse Bay. It was easy to take daily sight seeing trips, or find a place to dine out. We hope to visit again.
