The cabin was in a beautiful location with dock access and a fire pit and BBQ, it was well furnished. The only issue was the water had a sulfur odor so we used bottled water for drinking and coffee. We had a great stay, good times and friendly people!!

Cozy Cottage on Lake Leelenau

This is the second time we stayed at this cottage to observe the fall colors in Michigan. We love the quaintness of the cottage and the great views of the lake. The owners, Bob and Caroline, are absolutely wonderful and we plan to return in the future.

This nice cozy cottage was on Lake Leelenau and offered great views of the lake. The cottage was very clean and came with all of the items needed for an enjoyable stay.
