Great Lake House
Our family stayed here for a weekend wedding in Traverse City and the location and house were amazing! Plenty of room for the 17 of us and an amazing view! We will likely be staying here again in the future!

BEAUTIFUL, if we ever have a big group staying in the traverse city area again, we will definitely see if this property is available. Gorgeous house and scenery, great location and just a few short (steep) steps, to the lake.

What a View!
This home offers tons of space for many to stay. The view from the deck is amazing! It is nice and close to many things to do! The kitchen does have the ability to cook with adequate pots and pans. We did struggle with lack of silverware. Plenty of beds. However two on the lower level were lacking support, making it impossible for two people to sleep in. You rolled to the center of the beds. No support in the middles. Three full baths were great! However bath linens had to be done daily because there were not enough to go around for our size family. The access to laundry was great. It also has two full size refrigerators, which we put to good use! The fire pit is quite a distance from the house proper You do have access to the Lake, but there is no swimming beach there The grill is charcoal, no gas grill. We were able to enjoy many of the areas great features: The Lavender Farms at Old Mission Point Leland Beaches, finding Leland Blues Sutton Bay sidewalk sales Torch Lake Harbor Days Elk Rapids Great home base for adventure My family is large. There were 9 adults and 5 kiddos

Nice place to stay.
What a great place to stay, beautiful view of the lake and close to TC. It was clean and plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and be comfortable. Lots of parking for our family. The pictures on vrbo does not do it justice. Had a trouble with the lock box for the key. Other then that would stay again.

Poor experience!
Unfortunately, we had a bad experience with the owner of this property. The owner doubled booked the unit and denied 15 of us entry without notice when we arrived this past Thursday even though we had proof of our reservation. The VRBO support team was very helpful, but we had to find a place to stay on short notice after he denied us access to the property.

Great Place
This house was very clean and well kept. It has a beautiful view of the lake. It is more updated looking than the pictures show. There was plenty of room for our group of 12. The only thing that we would change is the lock pad to get in. It was a little old and tricky to use at times.

Great house and lake access
This was a great property for a large group. Probably best for families with kids. Several of the beds are together in the basement with no privacy. Probably a good place for a group of kids. The deck was big with a great view. Large kitchen and living area for gathering. A boat was available for an additional fee which was great. The owners were very nice to deal with.

Very nice property overlooking beautiful lake. Well stocked kitchen. Very clean, enough to feel comfortable with babies crawling on the floors. Ceiling fans need cleaning, but other than that the property was excellent.

Great cabin
We had a great time on our trip and it was mostly thanks to this cabin. Lovely inside, so much space, and a really spacious and well-equipped kitchen area. Property manager was available for contact with any questions and his family owns cabins in the area, so they were also available for any questions. Clean, stocked cabin. Thank you!

Lake Leelanau
Overall was a great space for the amount of guests we had, plenty of room for everyone! A short walk down to the lake for shared access of pavilion and docks made for a great lake day for our weekend stay. Downfall of the property was that when you first walked in the front door it smelled like cigarette smoke, but it was contained to this small area. Dust was noticeable on the fans and there were minor cosmetic things noted throughout the home. None of which hindered our fun time in Northern Michigan!
