This was by far the best VRBO i have ever stayed at. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay amazing. Larry and Jessie are so hospitable and kind. They even took us on a fabulous pontoon ride. Waking up every day in the beauty thatsurrounds you was magical.

This place was perfect. The accommodations are very comfortable and stocked with everything you need. The views of the lake and also sitting out on the dock to relax were great. Just what we needed. Location is ideal. Very close to Leland and Suttons Bay, the TART trail, wineries, and so much more. Jessie and Larry are both the best hosts ever. We felt very welcome throughout our entire stay. I highly recommend staying with them!

Lovely Fourth of July getaway
For us, this was the perfect little getaway spot right in the middle of a beautiful part of Michigan during one of the best parts of the year here. The property had everything that we desired; it was lovely to relax, play pool, turn on the AC to go to sleep and explore the surrounding areas! While there were political advertisements present, the hosts didn't overtly bring it up so no big deal. They did ask my wife if she was pregnant, which was kind of awkward, I don't think that they were trying to be rude. We did stay out of the lake because, as we learned after arriving, it's prone to giving people swimmers itch. It was lovely to watch fireworks over the lake though! We made lovely memories here and don't regret staying here. Thank you!

Peekaboo was a perfect getaway!
The beautiful property along with the updated studio carriage house/apt was very comfortable and roomy! Had all the basics to cook, full kitchen island, balcony facing the water with that beautiful peekaboo view. The birds were all around as their feeders remained busy. Nice to hang out with morning coffee. Brushed up on my billiards skills at night after being out during the days :) Jessie and Larry were perfect hosts making sure I had everything I needed! Would definitely stay again!

Carriage House Gem
The hosts of the Carriage House thought of every detail with this little gem of a studio apartment behind their beautiful home just north of the narrows along Lake Leelanau. It provides everything you need for a private, relaxing stay while enjoying beautifully landscaped grounds of the property owners which they humbly share with you, especially the waterfront views of the lake.

Beautiful lakeside location on a quiet street great for morning walks and centrally located to experience all of the Leelanau peninsula. By far the nicest hosts we’ve ever stayed with.

Best Couples Lake Side Cottage
This cottage is truly amazing! Tucked away on the woody shores of Leelanau Lake with immaculate landscaping, this cozy cottage impressed us from the moment we got there late at night after a long 12 hrs drive. It was amazing to have the garage available and ready for us to park in since it was already dark outside, and upon entering the cozy cottage we were greeted by chips and salsa. Oh, what a welcoming treat that was after an exhausting long drive! The cottage is spotlessly clean, beautiful, and cozy. It's centrally located on the Leelanau Peninsula so you are within minutes of all the major must-visit places and eateries. Lots of games and books that could keep you busy in the evening or on a rainy/snowy day. The amazing deck with views of the lake on the side of the main house is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Also a great place for star gazing. One other thing I really loved about the place is the simplicity of opening the door with a REAL key. All in all an amazing couples retreat. Whatever the occasion that will bring you to the Leelanau Peninsula, this is a place to stay at. Thank you Jessie and Larry for the amazing cottage you shared with us.
