Peaceful retreat in the fall.
Really enjoyed the stay with the lake as the backyard. Property had everything we needed. If we thought we needed something, it was there if you start looking for it. Thank you.

Fall weekend on the water
Had a great weekend at this VRBO. Clean house that was comfortable for 10+ adults. The view of the water is unbeatable and the location is great for exploring the best of the Leelanau peninsula.1

Stay at Sandbar
All the family (13 of us) enjoyed our stay. Property was accurately described, had ample room/beds for all,big dining area and allowed many activities. We used the canoe and paddleboards, had fires in the fire ring on some nights and had day trips to interesting places. Contact with prop manager had quick response. Would recommend to other family groups.

Perfect location for a Ladies Wine Weekend
I had the pleasure of staying at this property for a ladies wine weekend getaway. The location was perfect for our plans, and very accessible. The house itself was very clean, and well stocked with supplies and utensils. The views of the lake were amazing, and we really enjoyed the scenery despite the winter weather. All of the beds were comfortable and the linens were high quality. We especially loved the heated floors in the bathroom, and the ability to section the living area off from the bedrooms to accommodate those who wanted to sleep early or late. I have rented many homes in the past, and this one was definitely one of the best. We plan to make this an annual trip, and plan to book this house again.
