Leelanau Blue is charming as described, the view of the lake and sunsets were beautiful. My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing week.The only complaint we had was the dog and cat hair that was on the pillows and floors.

Great view of sunset. Very nice cottage, welll equipped and comfortable beds Well located for visiting the western side of Grand Traverse Bay We should have checked when leaves had max color change. We wanted to have fireplace blazing and settle down with good book. Weather was comfortably warm and a fire was not needed. Quiet neighborhood. Everywhere we stayed on the trip had lowest grade TP ever created. WHY. charge $3/dat more

We loved staying at this little cottage. They did a great job on the remodel. Cute and cozy. Great view. All the furniture was very comfy. I would recommend bringing water shoes lake bottom more of a sand/clay mixture. Firepit was very nice. We had a great time.

Perfect Spot
The property was perfect for our family. Being right on the water was perfect for swimming, playing and paddle boarding. The location was central to all the local towns and sights. The home was recently renovated and they did everything right to make your time there enjoyable. Property management was very attentive and quick to help out. The property has plenty of privacy while still being connected to other neighboring properties. I highly recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed.

Leelanau Blue, Oct, 2022
What a wonderful location! We go to Lake Leelanau every year in October, and this was our first time at this property. It has recently been updated and everything is first rate. The kitchen and living areas are comfortable and we’ll appointed. The bedroom and bed in the master bedroom is comfortable and has a great view of the lake. And the bathroom, with its heated floor and roomy shower is great. The location is great…close to Lake Leelanau and Sutton’s Bay.

Beautiful location
Beautiful quiet location. We can get here without traveling through the bustle of Traverse City. Property was clean and newly remodeled. We booked the property with the hopes of using the kayaks and doing some fishing on the lake however there was only one paddle remaining. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and accessories.

Wonderful Lakefront Home
Amazing home on a very private lot on a sheltered shoreline of Lake Leelanau. Home was very clean, very well stocked and very comfortable beds. The property was well maintained and very quite and peaceful. Great location as it is close to Suttons Bay, Lake Leelanau and even Leland. We will be looking to return again and potentially making it out annual family vacation.

Change of Location
Mother Nature had alternate plans for me this trip. Due to the cold temps, understandably the pipes at this property were frozen. The Property Management company was very accommodating and contacted me in advance and found me an alternate property nearby with similar accommodations/amenities. I was very pleased with the alternate location as well as the customer service. Unfortunately this means I cannot provide a helpful review. I hope to stay at the Lakehouse on Lake Leelenau in the future.

Your home is very inviting, we felt very comfortable staying there, it was well stocked with anything you would need. Even though it was a cold weekend it was still a beautiful view from all the windows. We would differently stay there again when we were in the area.

Perfectly Peaceful
The pictures for this place are wonky. They need to get rid of the old pictures, because it is beautiful inside. All redone. It really is a lovely place. It was private and peaceful because it was late fall and no one was up there. Now in the summer, I can imagine there being no privacy because the properties are very close to each other. You can’t get a better location for visiting wineries. Make sure to visit L Mawby Vineyards!! We stayed here for a girls weekend. Loved the real wood fireplace inside. There was wood kind of scattered around the property, so make sure you look for some there before you buy any. They had salt and pepper but that’s about it for cooking. They have a ton of pots, pans, sheet pans, etc.. The beds were comfy. The shower head is great. Looking forward to staying here again. It was really nice to wake up and see the foggy lake every morning.
