The lake view is awesome. Our weather was unseasonably warm. Was able to swim in October. The place is great. Clean and updated. Bathroom even has a heated floor. Next time I would bring my boat. Property manager called to make sure everything is ok too.

Nice location on the lake.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property as described. Property was clean with this exception. The cleaning crew needs to vacuum the couch and the brown ottoman in front of the couch, especially if the previous renters had a dog that sheds. Wife also spotted a few cobwebs on the ceiling. Great communication from Up North Vacation Rentals. I would stay there again.

We love Leelanau Blue!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 5th year at Leelanau Blue - it is our home away from home for a glorious week every July and the perfect spot for our family vacation Up North. It's comfortable, casual and right on Lake Leelanau. From coffee outdoors at the start of the day to euchre and rummikub on the deck at the end of the day, we all love it here. Sugarloaf - The Old Course is close by for golf, and Suttons Bay and Leland are a quick drive. Our son and his fiance love the wineries and trails throughout the area, and now go to Blu in Glen Arbor as part of their vacation. It's just a perfect spot for our home base. And the folks at Up North Vacation Rentals are the absolute best - responsive, engaging and friendly whenever we call and quick to deal with any concerns. We may be biased, but we wouldn't trade our week here for anything!

Great place!

We loved staying at this little cottage. They did a great job on the remodel. Cute and cozy. Great view. All the furniture was very comfy. I would recommend bringing water shoes lake bottom more of a sand/clay mixture. Firepit was very nice. We had a great time.

Beautiful quiet location. We can get here without traveling through the bustle of Traverse City. Property was clean and newly remodeled. We booked the property with the hopes of using the kayaks and doing some fishing on the lake however there was only one paddle remaining. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and accessories.
