New Years Eve Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: January 5, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
This cottage was the perfect winter place to stay. The cottage was very cool. High ceilings, large well appointed bathroom. We love the Lake Leelanau area. Have stayed in this area for many years.. As frequent Lelanau visitors we really enjoyed the thought that went into the decor - the local pictures and photos. The location is perfect for us. Lots of good restaurants close by. The Narrows sits halfway between Suttons Bay and Leland and is only a short drive into Traverse City. The vineyards are fun too. We loved it. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful cottage in a beautiful part of northern Michigan.

River Cottage Getaway

4 of 5
Submitted: August 8, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Had a wonderful time exploring Lake Leelanau with my teenage son and his friend. Egan and Tim couldn't have been more gracious and accommodating. They truly want everyone to have a good experience and and the property shows that. It is perfect for teenagers in that each place has an outdoor fire-pit and plenty of property to spread out and do additional activities. The deck off the River Cottage is wonderful for morning coffee and evening reads and relaxation. Not only is the landscaping beautiful to look at but it is the perfect back-drop for creating privacy between the cottage and the road.

Lastly, if you are a cyclist, you couldn't find better road and scenery to explore on. Appreciated the fact that it is central both to Sutton's Bay and Leland (a short 5 mile ride in either direction). Thank you Egan for extending the invitation to ride with you around the Lake. I have to say it was the high-light of my trip! Not to mention the yummy coffee just across the street. Love the place, people and area!!

Until next time.......

Great Stay, Fantastic Location!

Submitted: June 18, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We throughly enjoyed our time at the River Cottage. The setting was ideal for our vacation. We loved that we were near a coffee shop, a winery, the grocery store, and of course, Lake Leelenau.
It was fabulous.
The cottage was very tastefuly decorated and in great shape. Just a short walk to the water and to the hot tubs nestled in the woods! Plus, there was a great deck to enjoy sunsets and beautiful evenings. My kids loved the chess set too!
The hosts treated us like family, which was very refreshing. We would recommend this place highly!
