Beautiful vacation property

This is a gorgeous property beautifully maintained. Our group of 10 spanning 3 generations made use of all of it-from the beach and deck to the tv/gaming area and the beautiful great room. We highly recommend it and would happily rent it again!

Our family enjoyed a wonderful week in the house! It was very spacious, clean, and equipped with everything we needed for the week. The deck and beach provided incredible views of the lake and sunsets; we even had a few bald eagle sightings! The location was perfect as well- just minutes to Leland for shopping, dinner, or groceries. We can’t wait to return!

Location, location, location! The site on Lake Michigan is fantastic and the close proximity to Leland, Suttons Bay and Glen Arbor creates a multitude of fun activities. The large bedrooms and five full baths made this house a perfect fit for our family of nine adults and two teens.

Lovely property with plenty of great sleeping options for little people and adults alike. Lovely long outdoor eating table when weather cooperates. Would have loved a few smaller chairs for children and a straight backed arm chair for my husband with a bad back but everything else was picture perfect. Lots of great space for families. Tons of puzzles and board games for young and old alike. Great place for s’mores and the beach was a highlight too.

We love hearing that you enjoyed the property and the beach. We think it’s a pretty special place too. Being able to have all of your family under one roof and enjoying it is just magical. We will look at getting some chairs for the little ones. Thank you for staying at the Birdsong house.

The property needs a full clean from top to bottom - cobwebs throughout inside, showers need good scrubbing, sheets had not been changed on one upstairs bed, fireplace had not been cleaned out from previous guests, kitchen door hard to lock.

Please know that maintaining a clean and comfortable home for our guests is a top priority. During each turnover, the house is thoroughly cleaned, and all sheets are stripped and replaced. We weren’t made aware of any concerns during your stay other than the sticky doorknob and some remaining ash in the fireplace, both of which were promptly addressed. That said, we will always strive to do better and thank you for being our guest."

Wonderful House for a Large Group!!!

We loved the Spacious Lake Leelanau Home on Lake Michigan!!! There were eight of us in our group that gets together every two years, and this was probably our favorite house we have stayed at so far. The outdoor seating (and views) was a favorite with lots of seating options, the kitchen was well stocked, the fire pit made for a perfect evening after sunset, and the spacious great room was used every morning by those of us getting up early. The rooms were great, as was the rest of the house!I would add that there are really 5 bedrooms with walls and a door. The upstairs "master bedroom" is really a loft area with access through a door on one side and an open circular staircase on the other side. Additionally, the mattresses were either extremely soft and one was extremely firm.5 STARS from all of us for the Spacious Lake Leelanau Home on Lake Michigan!!
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Sept 2025
Wow! How cool for friends to gather together and we are happy the Birdsong house could be that landing spot. We hope many good memories went home with all of you. Perhaps your next two year gathering will be at the Birdsong house again. Cheers to being our guest!

This property was amazing! Easy for a family getaway. Beach access was perfect. As a family from mostly Texas, we were worried about no air conditioning, but the cross winds throughout the house and fans in every room made it well circulated and not a problem in mid July. The access to Leland is about 5 minutes. Easy to get groceries or walk around town. The beds weren’t the softest but manageable for the week. Lots of places for people to sit. A well organized kitchen. Grill. Everything you need is at this house. The only complaint from our group is about the water smell which we forgot about in Michigan on a well. The sulpher comes and goes. All in it was a fabulous trip and one we would do again.

Birdsong is an amazing home isn’t. You get to appreciate nature at its finest and have lots of room for family to share. We hope you went home refreshed and relaxed. We are putting another filter type to help with the sulphur in the water too. Thank you so much for being our guest.

Fun for All!

We were a family group ranging in age from 10 to 74, and everyone had a great time. The house was wonderful - a great kitchen with newer appliances, comfortable beds, quiet spaces and game spaces, huge deck with a view to die for, ample parking, easy Lake access, nice grassy area on Lake shore with freestanding fire pit (which we used for hot dogs and s'mores), beautiful sunsets, and so much more. And there are SO many things to do in the area! Some went to Sleeping Bear Dunes, some went golfing, many did wine tastings at the numerous local wineries (Aurora was our favorite), some explored Traverse City, some rented a pontoon boat on Torch Lake, some visited the charming nearby towns of Leland and Glen Arbor, some went swimming in the Lake, some played cornhole (we brought our own equipment), some even spent a day on Mackinac Island. We usually vacation in a new location each year, from mountains to beach and everything in between, for the chance to visit new places and try new things. For the first time, everyone agreed that we would love a return trip to this wonderful property in Lake Leelanau on Lake Michigan.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 July 2024
From the Owner: "It sounds like you had one amazing vacation and we are so happy we could be a part of that. This location is a special one as you can attest to. 300' of Lake Michigan on the beautiful Leelanau Peninsula with sunset views and surrounded by nature and calm. You are correct, there is so much to do in this area, and once you discover what a gem this place is you want to come back again and again. Thank you for being our guest and we hope that you do get to come back and stay at the Birdsong House."

We absolutely loved our stay at this home and would 100% come back! I only took off a star because it should be noted that the loft space is actually the master - from what I could tell when I booked the home, I didn't even think the loft was pictured so just FYI, but that wasn't an issue for us. Everything else was exactly as pictured. Many helpful tips and well marked items throughout the home. Great for multiple families/generations. Don't hesitate to book this house for your next holiday!
