    The lake view is lovely. We wish the dock hadn’t been taken out for the season. Helpful suggestions - The kitchen needs to be reorganized and some equipment replaced. Especially the dinner dishes and pots and pans. Dishwasher doesn’t work as well as it should. Lightning in the bedrooms and bathrooms was not sufficient. Bedrooms need bedside lamps. The living room also needs additional non-ceiling level lighting. The living room photo on the site is not accurate. There were no side chairs in the space during our stay. The management company was very responsive when I reached out with questions.

    Spacious, comfortable, modern, and a beautiful setting! 7 adults enjoyed plenty of room to relax. One adult has some mobility concerns and the space accommodated her needs well. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, linens and towels were plentiful. Highly recommend this space for families to enjoy a lovely vacation on the lake!

    This is our friend group’s sixth visit to the Traverse City area, second time at this house in Cedar. What a perfect fit! Coffee in the morning with an excellent view in the living room, large dining table for meals and games, great tv in the family room for snowy nights. Thank you for a great stay!

    Perfect place for our 10 person extended family. The setting is fantastic on the shore of Lake Leelenau. Very comfortable with fully stocked kitchen, large dining table, newer furnishings, as advertised. The fire pit was great each evening (fire wood provided for us was a great touch).

    The process of checking and check out was very smooth. The place was super clean and located on beautiful lake leelanau where we had access to paddle boards and the house was super clean and fully stocked with many items that you would need for a short or extended stay. Overall I would highly recommend this place especially if you are doing the wine tours. It's very close to many of the finest wineries.
