The trees and the lake provide a relaxing setting with some privacy.The home is not new, and perhaps some freshening is in order soon, but it's still very nice.

My family has rented Lake Escape for 12 years

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: We always enjoy our stay at Lake Escape. The home is clean and well supplied with kitchen needs. It has a fabulous swimming area where the grandchildren could go out several yards in the water and “still touch”. We enjoy s’mores around the bonfire. Perfectly located on quiet road near beaches, Fishtown, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Sutton’s Bay, wineries, etc. Perfect! Hope to return next year.

Harvest Days

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: The weather was cold and rainy, but the house was warm and comfortable. This was our second stay at this house and it has e everything that you need... secluded, on the water and not far from anywhere you want to go on the Leelanau Peninsula. Visited too many wineries (lol) but with the harvest days pass we received 5 times what we paid for the pass.

Fall Stay Sep 22-24

Nice location on the lake. Sun room area and deck were great. Inside home is dated and needs an update. Had an issue with the contract for this property. Several light bulbs were not working and bathroom had rust on the hanger storage area. Cob webs in many places and didn't feel clean - The messages to "Conserve water or tank will fill up" was interesting to say the least. Will not stay at this property again.

Only issue was water was shallow off the dock, making bringing our boat in questionable and diving out of the question. But everything else was lovely.

Relaxing

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: Loved the sunroom! Due to COVID 19, we had to reschedule our vacation from June to September, they were so accommodating, unfortunately it rained everyday except one, but the sunroom still allowed us to enjoy looking out at the water and beautiful yard, and the room has a heater and air conditioner combo. The dock was nice and sturdy and great location, we would definitely recommend!

Nice Lake Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Great stay at the Lake Escape rental on Lake Leelanau. The views and backyard experience were phenominal. 3 boats to use, sand toys for my kids, a dock to fish off of. Downfalls were the house itself, which was dated, had slight smells, limited water usage, partially working washer, and partially working wall AC unit, but the views, can't beat the views. I would come back!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love the location and the fact that we can bring out little dog. Close to Leland and Suttons Bay. This is our 3rd year renting the cabin. Our only complaints is the shower. Needs some work as the shower head is horrible. Other than that you can't beat lovely Lake Leelanau. This is our 35th year vacationing on the lake. Thank you also to the great staff at Visit Up North Vacations. They are always very nice a so easy to work with.

Review of Lake Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I sent an email on Sunday with a review. I've not heard whether you'd received our review. I'll try to remember the things that I wrote.• Shower drain needs to be snaked. The water doesn't drain.• Neighbors dogs poop in the cottage's yard. We picked up multiple poops.• Ceilings should be checked for asbestos.• Cottage needs a DEEP clean.• Remind guests to clean the lint trap of dryer. We found a VERY large piece of lint and it could have caused a fire.Thank you for working with us after the cottage we had reserved was taken off the rental market at the last minute.Beautiful Lakes, lots of wineries and breweries, great farm stands for local produce, restaurants (we loved FIGS), and the Yak farm (yummy meats).We created cherished family memories and that's what really counts!

Perfect for our needs!

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: The “Lake Escape-Lake Leelanau” cottage was filled with pleasant surprises. It was clean and more spacious than imagined, the bathroom was even a nice size, the water was drinkable, the linens and towels were of good quality, nicely decorated, really nice flat screen TV with cable, the four season room overlooking the lake was fabulous, and the property was very quiet and private – woods on one side, and the neighbors on the other were not there when we were, but shrubs pretty much hid their property anyway. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and rainy just about every day and we couldn’t enjoy being on the water, so can’t comment on the swimming conditions. From the little we could see, it appeared there were a few logs on the lake bottom around the dock area and the water seemed slightly murky. The view was gorgeous, though, and there was a lot of boat traffic on the one good weather day. The only criticism we had was there were no instructions on how to turn on the furnace, but luckily my husband figured it out, the a/c unit kept flashing because the filter needed to be changed (it was too cold for us to even use it), and there was no wi-fi (but it was actually pretty nice to be “unplugged”. Up North Vacation Rentals was great to work with – even called the day after we arrived to make sure everything was okay. Loved the cottage and area, and we definitely will be back!
