I had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday and engagement with my close friends. When I had a question I called the owner and she answered right away and was very helpful and kind. I would definitely stay again!

We chose this property because of the number of twin beds. We had 7 ladies in our group. Some of the rooms were small, but we made do. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate for outdoor activities. Location is central to all places in the Leelanau Peninsula.

Property was recently and nicely redone including furniture, mattresses etc… Everything was updated and in nice condition. The only 2 gripes I had was the floors could have been a little cleaner it seemed like they needed mopped. We had babies crawling on them on. And the jacuzzi tub had no switch to turn it on so basically jacuzzi didn’t work. Overall I would recommend it it was basically clean and the canoe and kayaks were a great addition.

Excellent location for dunes and surroundings.
Comfortable space, clean. Lake is not viewable from the property in the summer except from the upstairs. We did use the canoe to explore the lake which has lovely crystal clear water, but wasn’t swimmable due to reeds (and, well the cooler weather). WiFi worked for our work from vacation needs. Carpet in dining area hard to keep clean especially with kids. Our kids enjoyed having lots of outdoor space to run around in. Location amazing with two close places to eat and short drive to the dunes, art galleries, and little towns.
