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.

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 third year staying at Leelanau Blue. It is everything we look for in a vacation rental. Most of all the view is spectacular. We vacation in October and are treated to a colorful display that gets better every day. Additionally, the location is perfect for the things we like to do, restaurants where we eat, groceries, wineries, etc. And for days when we just want to relax, knit, read cook and eat in, the cottage is perfect for that.

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 location

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.

Great view of sunset. Very nice cottage, welll equipped and comfortable beds Well located for visiting the western side of Grand Traverse Bay We should have checked when leaves had max color change. We wanted to have fireplace blazing and settle down with good book. Weather was comfortably warm and a fire was not needed. Quiet neighborhood. Everywhere we stayed on the trip had lowest grade TP ever created. WHY. charge $3/dat more

Great location; comfy house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 3 humans and a dog had a great stay. The house was perfect for a group our size, and the location is convenient to everything up north. We swam, boated, read on the deck, watched the Olympics. The house had everything we needed -- dishes, kayaks, comfy seating indoors and out, fire pit, big yard -- except I didn't notice in the listing that there's no washer/dryer; wasn't an issue once we went shopping, but something to keep in mind when you pack.

Otherwise the house was nicely filled with kitchen gadgets and met all of our needs. It was a great location, especially if you want to hit the wineries. The back deck was perfect. My father has mobility issues and the single floor living was ideal.

Wintery Fall weekend up north

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: What a beautiful property on lovely Lake Leelanau! This impeccably redone cottage has everything you want or need for your stay. Both functional and fun details in this small space! And quality kitchen supplies, lacking for nothing. As a late season renter, we did have to rely on living room heater unit, which made bedrooms on the cold side, but heavy duvets on the bed compensated pretty well.
