    Cozy little cabin in the woods with the perfect view of the lake. Very communicative hosts and easy check in/out. Will definitely be back!

    The lake was gorgeous. The beach is sandy/hard bottom, which makes it nice to walk out in the water. While the property shares a dock with an adjacent cabin, it would have been nice to have access to a rowboat or kayaks to fully enjoy the water.It is a short drive north to the village of Lake Leelanau, south to Perrin’s Landing (Paradise Cove), or east to Suttons Bay. Traverse City is 10 min. away. The cabin has an excellent, super efficient space heater. We visited in September with warm days and chilly nights, so we used the space heater at night. There is also a fireplace but we learned after arrival that it is not usable for a real fire. The king bed was super comfortable with a fabulous view of the water when you awaken! Ample bath towels and wash cloths are provided for showering and the bathroom is remodeled with a nice new shower, sink, and toilet.The kitchen area has everything you need except a dish-drying rack for washing dishes. It has an excellent gas stove, a good-sized frig/freezer, a large coffee-maker, and a large counter-top microwave. Be aware that the key to the front door (which you are provided) does NOT work on the back door lock. So if you lock the front door from the inside and throw the bolt, then exit from the back door, you will be locked out. The biggest pluses for this rental were access to the lake and lots of privacy. The biggest downside was beige shag carpet throughout the cabin including the kitchen area.

    I had a wonderful time on a trip with my best friend! We each brought our dogs, and we loved this perfect cabin on the lake.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second year we have rented in the summer, and they are always attentive and receptive to us and what we need. They also were willing to discuss a payment plan for deposits that would work. Only recommendations is to put batteries in the clocks, tv remotes (the Netflix one would barely work) and fix the back screen door so it properly shuts. Only about 1.5mi. away from Tart trail to ride bikes.

    Older cabin. Need to do a sweep of the spiders. They really like the bathroom. Tiny bathroom. Great location on the lake.

    It was a nice rustic cabin for family vacation and fishing. We chose it for proximity to lake michigan beaches and nature conservancy trails. The directions were not correct..the address on the info sent to us, did not match the address on the cabin. I left a note on the table with the correction. Other directions were good on sheet but address was wrong. Both screen doors should be replaced...chipmunks came inside back door that would not close completely. We could have closed the heavy doors but it was high 80 degrees and we needed cross cabin ventilation. Otherwise, all was nice...very comfy beds, clean, quiet experience without neighbors.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wish they didn't have a generic letter for all properties. Didn't know where to put the garbage, The grill is unusable, had to go buy one because we brought all food that needed grilling. Needed more towels for 4 ppl for two day's. Tried calling management company per phone number but nobody answered and now return call.Otherwise it was a good weekend after we figured things out..

    This cabin was awesome and the lake is gorgeous! If you’re wanting to get out of the hustle and bustle of Traverse City, but still be close to beauty, this place is perfect. Suttons Bay is only an 8 minute drive with lots of restaurants and shopping. The only issue was finding the place. The address we were provided with our reservation did not match the address on the outside of the cabin or inside the cabin on the paperwork posted on the refrigerator. We had to call the property management company when we got there because the addresses did not match. They were helpful, but I feel like a lot of that could be elevated with the cabins being better marked. Other than that, the place is perfect!!
