Lovely cottage

We were 3 couples in our late 60's and the cottage was perfect for us with 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The common living area was just the right size and the table seats 6. The windows across the front gave you a great view of the lake and the chairs and loungers on the patio were very inviting. Cottage was clean with plenty of linens and kitchen equipment. Will definitely plan another trip to Lake Leelanau.

We,ve been traveling "up north" in Michigan for over 30 years during all seasons. We finally purchased our cottage in 1998 and have been enjoying the Leelanau peninsula and other northern locations ever since. We hope you enjoy the area as much as we have.
