Leelanau cottage

We enjoyed our stay at the Barkers’ cottage very much. It is a great place to “get away from it all,” since there is no WiFi and the TV is just connected to the DVD/VCR player, but everything else needed is there. Lake Leelanau is a long (15 miles), beautiful lake, perfect temperature, great for boating and fishing. Closest stores and restaurants are in Suttons Bay, or Lake Leelanau town (check out the Pedaling Beans Coffee House), about 15 minutes away. This is a perfect location for exploring all of the Leelanau peninsula as well as Traverse City.

Although there are technically seven beds, that would feel quite crowded.
The photos give one a good idea of the place.

The Barkers are fine landlords and were eager for us to enjoy ourselves.

My husband, baby and I had a wonderful time. The cottage was cozy, clean and perfect for the 3 of us. The lake and the beach were right in front of us. The sunsets were beautiful. i would reccomend this rental to anyone.

The property is very well maintained and comfortable.

The cabin is perfect for 4 adults but I would not recommend 6 adults.

The kitchen has the utensils necessary to cook a meal. It also has an outside barbeque.

Overall, if you are looking for a property on the lake with comfortable accomodations, this property is for you.

The owners were very accomodating and down to earth. They seemed genuinely concerned that we would enjoy our stay.
