    Would 100% recommend. We will definitely return. Super clean home. Gel comfortable. Quick responses from the owner. If we were to critique one thing, master bedroom has a queen bed. Would prefer a king.

    The home was exceptionally clean and well appointed. Charlie was very easy to communicate with. Centrally located to the wineries on Leelanau Peninsula.

    If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I’d give 10 stars. Best VRBO we have ever rented.

    Very impressed with the cleanliness and quality of workmanship in home. Very convenient to bike trail, Suttons Bay and several wineries. It was a great home base for our Leelanau and Old Mission adventures. Plan on visiting again.

    One of the best stays we’ve had. Beautiful and thoughtfully outfitted home with all the amenities of a high-end hotel. Fantastic location and setting. Close to all the area attractions. Cannot go wrong staying here, and Charlie is a gracious and super responsive host.

    Lovely and clean house! Enjoyed cooking a couple dinners on the grill! Near to golf, boat launch and wineries. Easy to drive to many near-by cities/towns. Enjoyed the near-by trail for daily walks. We had a couple fires in the evenings. Fun time for all of us! ??

    This house is beautifully located in the farmland outside Suttons Bay, right off the bike trail and convenient to Lake Michigan, restaurants, and the grocery store. The house itself is clean and attractive and had everything we needed for our family stay, including coffee, bottled water, a bottle of wine and some snacks. We loved the fire pit and s'mores-making supplies! The bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely designed and laid out and there were lots of common areas for hanging out. We would definitely stay here again!

    We enjoyed everything about staying at the house. I'll point out some highlights below. The house seems to be recently remodeled and was well done. Very clean There are so many amenities and little touches around the house that make staying here great. Quiet location but very close to wineries and restaurants around the peninsula.
