Great house with a lot of room for 7 adults! Very clean and a great lakefront location within easy distance of all our favorite Leelanau Peninsula and Traverse City amusements and haunts. Bill was an excellent host who gave us all the info about the property that we needed and clearly provided expectations for guests.

The house is great for three couples with children. Upstairs bedrooms and baths perfect for adults. Downstairs bunk room ideal for up to 6 kids. Kitchen and bathrooms had been recently updated. Beds were very comfy and the place was very clean with everything we needed provided. The location on Lake Leelanau was as advertised with shallow water and sandy bottom - perfect for kids. We enjoyed the second floor back deck for reading, great view of the lake, gathering for cocktails at the end of the day. Fruit flies are a bummer and hard to control since they come in through screens. Used AC a lot for that reason. Would recommend.

Family fun

We had a great time with our adult kids and 2 grandsons. We were able to dock our boat right there which made it easy to take grandsons tubing and fast boat rides The swim area was nice and sandy and just right for non swimmers The house was perfect for large group dinners and games at night plenty of seating in and out. We will remember this for years to come and hope to do again

Great spot right on Lake Leelenau!

Friendly host, really well remodeled house right on Lake Leelenau. 3 bedrooms and 2 bath on the main floor and another full bath downstairs off the bunkhouse that walks out into the backyard. Second tier deck overlooking the water outside the kitchen is great. Well appointed kitchen with big island and seating all around it. We stayed here for the Bayshore Memorial Weekend and it was great. Coffee and cocktails on the new second story deck were the best!

My niece's wedding

The house was just as advertised. Very clean, very roomy. Beautiful updated bathrooms. Beds for all 10 of us, with room to spare. Beautiful, convenient location on Lake Leelanau. Would consider staying here again. The host was very helpful in ironing out an issue with VRBO not acknowledging receipt of my payment to him.

Wedding week for my daughter

Not as clean as we were expecting, we cleaned the kitchen floor and vacuumed the basement carpet Cleaning people need to be more affective, they didn’t leave enough towels, bed comforter was dirty and they forgot to leave a bottle of wine per the host’s directions Bill called them and resolved our issues Host did mention that there we’re going to be fruit flies, my wife had to make a trap to try and control them, seems like it helped

Thanks Doug for your review as it was a pleasure to work with you. The cleaners did unfortunately dropped the ball on your week. I have addressed this with the cleaning company and put in new protocols to ensure the services that I pay for is rendered accordingly. I was happy to quickly resolve these issues and I’m glad you had an enjoyable week at the Lakehouse.

Fantastic Family Vacation!

We have been coming to the Traverse City area for several years now with our extended family. This home is absolutely beautiful and has the perfect layout for a large family gathering. Plenty of space for board games and large family meals. It was extremely clean. The lake is great for swimming and boating. The shallow area is sandy, not rocky like many other properties in the area. There is a kayak rental right up the street. We kayaked back to the house! The dunes and Traverse City are not too far away which our older teens took full advantage of. Plenty of parking which has been an issue at other properties. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The owner is very gracious and easy to contact.

Amazing house with the perfect location!

Bill’s property is one of a kind. Beautiful house with upgrades, super clean and a great set up. We had two families including 4 teenagers and the house had everything we needed. We ate every meal in the house and the fully stocked kitchen was perfect. The view of the water is so peaceful. We rented a boat for the week and were able to tie it up to the dock. Bill is easy to communicate with and available for any questions. A great week of making memories!

Wonderful vacation week!

My extended family of eleven spent our twelfth year vacation at this beautiful home. It is without a doubt, the nicest home we ever rented in northern MI. We loved how the five children ages 6 thru 15 had their own dorm and private bathroom downstairs. This also gave the adults some alone time away from the kids. The house is laid out very nice with a large open kitchen and family room. The master suite was perfect for my husband and I. The yard is big and the grass is soft and green. The water was warm with a great sandy bottom. Everyone had a wonderful time and we thank the owners for sharing their beautiful home.

The lake house was very clean and plenty of room for everyone.

This was a great place for a family vacation. The home was very clean and maintained very well. There was plenty of yard space and a great swing set for my grandson. It also had a good spot for campfires at night right by the lake. We all loved the big open kitchen. It was a great week with with the whole family .

Great Vaca!

This is the first time we stayed at this home. Had a great time. Wide open living space for the two families we had. Many updates and decorated beautifully. The home was clean and very well maintained. Big open yard for lounging in the sun or yard games. It was easy to secure our boat at the dock. We had a small issue with the indoor internet, but the owner was very attentive and talked us through correcting the problem. It was easy to connect to the internet whether we were inside or outside in the yard. Its an easy drive to nearby towns-Leland, Northport, Glen Arbor. Would definitely stay there again!

Great location, clean home, friendly/helpful owner

Home was clean and ready right when we arrived. Plenty of space for our 2 families. Kitchen, eating area, family and family room all open together, great for gathering/meals. Nice big lawn for relaxing, water is shallow enough to walk right in from the grass and has sandy bottom. Quick drive to Lake Leelenau (the town), Leland, or Suttons Bay. Bill was very helpful before our rental week, making sure we knew what was included. Also texted to check in on the second day, make sure we had everything we needed. Plenty of parking, nice fire pit, dock was great for our boat all week. Quick boat ride north to tie up in Lake Leelenau for lunch or dinner. All in all, a great place to spend a week up north!
