The house was very nice. Communication with the lister was excellant, when I emailed Melissa, she usually replied within 8 hours. We were a group of Senior ladies and very much enjoyed our stay. We did encounter a few issues related to our age, but nothing insurmountable. The property is not listed as being ADA compliant, but there is a ramp in the garage and a walk in shower which were appreciated. We would stay again.
5.0
Beautiful location close to many wineries. Did a wine weekend with 3 couples so really great having three bathrooms. There were two additional bedrooms with twin beds which would be great for a large family gathering
3.0
This is based on having rented VRBO properties through out the US in excess of 50 times. Everything was fine except for 2 concerns. We felt the photos portrayed in the posting did not accurately reflect reality in layout size and external scene. Also, and this is no reflection on you ,but the bathroom facilities on the main floor were not senior citizen friendly. Our fault for getting old.
4.0
Home is located about 1/2 mile from Leland and you can walk there from the side road that runs along Lake Michigan. Centrally located near hiking, wineries, sleeping Bear dunes and the cute towns of Glen Arbor and Leland. We had 3 couples in the home and each had their own room and bath and plenty of space.

We all loved our stay! The cottage was terrific - everything was just as described in the listing. Location was great. Communication with Melissa was perfect (I had a couple questions during the week and she responded to emails within minutes!) and her suggestions of sights to see were greatly appreciated. We couldn't have been happier!

House was ready for our timely arrival - so delighted to claim our cozy beds, and clean home for the week. We enjoyed the short walk to Fishtown numerous times & to North Beach.
Location is easy ride to hikes with gorgeous views & quiet forests.
One suggestion for kitchen….need a cherry pitter!
We would happily return here for more adventures.

Great location, very clean and organized. We visited for the wine festival and had 8 people in total, all agreed this was a perfect location to stay which was just outside of Leland. The bedrooms we’re comfortable, house was well appointed and we enjoyed the porch to sit and talk about life.
Thanks Melissa for making it so easy, we will visit again.

Great house and location for exploring northern Michigan! We enjoyed walking into the town of Leland to get coffee and do a little shopping. The location is awesome for getting to so many wineries in the area. Easy drive to Suttons Bay, Traverse City and Glen Arbor.
The tub in the hallway bathroom was clogged and therefore the water was not draining. We connected Melissa and she had a plumber out the next morning to fix it. She was wonderful in her communication with us! We truly appreciated that!
House was cozy and warm which was wonderful considering it was a chilly and rainy visit. But that didn’t stop us from enjoying all that northern Michigan has to offer.

The home did suit our needs, but was underwhelming compared to the listing price. The list of things to do before checking out is the longest I’ve experienced at a vacation rental, so plan for about half an hour to accomplish all of the tasks in the morning (for our group of six people). The home needs some maintenance, but was safe and the bedding was clean so we stayed.

If you are looking for a great spot to relax this is it. The property is within walking distance of downtown, the beach, and is a great location if you are looking to go wine tasting around the area. The house is large and well equipped; it could easily handle a larger group of adults or those traveling with kids.
5.0
We loved staying at this house for a family vacation! We had grandparents, parents, and 3 kids under 4. Everyone had enough space to be together and enough room to spread out as well. Kitchen was very well stocked and we enjoyed cooking at home. We were all able to walk to downtown in about ten minutes. Communication with owners was smooth and prompt though we really didn’t have any issues to resolve. Would recommend this for a larger family vacation rental.

My daughter’s wedding was in Traverse City and the house was perfect. Just a short drive to the venue and the quiet of the neighborhood was a great way to reset after all the business of rehearsal, dinners and normal last minute “chaos”. Lol
Thank you!

Great place in Leland
We were only able to stay four days but really enjoyed the home and peninsula. We did hit Michigan variable weather in our short stay and really appreciated both the house heating system and then a couple days later the house air conditioning system. Thanks for a great stay in Leland.
