Just 3 minutes to a grocery store, 10 minutes to Suttons Bay and Leland ( for lots of beaches, shopping and restaurants)! The house has everything you need with games for indoors and outdoors, kayaks, a huge yard for kids to play, and a beautiful crystal clear lake!

Great Lake area

We booked this last minute and we were so glad we did. Easy day trips to Suttons Bay, Leland and Sleeping Bear Dunes. The lake by the house was world’s largest kiddie pool…clear water, great for kids, great for swimming and we loved the kayaks and beautiful sunsets. House was well stocked (minus a hairdryer) and we had a wonderful trip! There were 5 of us and it was a perfect size!

Quiet & beautiful views

Our family of four had a lovely time at this cute,very clean property .It was close to so much & the sunsets were amazing! The house had everything we needed & my kids enjoyed having their own rooms. Some instructions on how to work the tv would be nice. It took my tech savvy husband a little while to figure it out! We really enjoyed our trip to Michigan and our stay in this cute house.

We love Lake Leelanau!

We’ve stayed on this lake five or six times, and we always love it! The house was lovely, and very clean. We loved the close access to the lake—you get both sunset & sunrise, if you want. Our only concerns were directions about TV use, and figuring out the thermostat, which we conveyed to the management company. I would recommend this house, and DEFINITELY stay there again! It was close to everything we wanted!

It was a rough week.

Because the property is SO OPEN, it meant that there was nowhere to go to "get away" from everyone else. All of the beds are full size, which I think were meant to fit 2 people each, but that did not work for us. So when it was raining, like for 2 days straight, we felt like we were going nuts trying to share this space together. It was so loud! We felt "boxed in". It just ended up being a really rough week for our family and the house definitely contributed to that. The property is great! But it should be advertised as being a VERY open space, and it was "comfortable" for 5 adults, not 7, or even 8, as advertised.

Great location

Great place to stay, awesome lication with great views. We had a small sailboat and rented a pontoon for the week and were able to dock the pontoon and tie the sailboat up to the mooring bouy. Only minor little thing would be the beds. One is a queen the others are fulls so not much room for two. We had 5 kids and three adults and used the sofa's with an air mattress we brought. Overall a great place and perfect location

Charming, cozy cottage

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: The house is charming with everything you would need. There are really only 2 bedrooms and an open loft that looks over the living room area. It was perfect for us but may pose an issue for light sleepers. Management company would not divulge address until right before arrival...since we had family in the area, we had wanted to know the exact location. Management company policy seemed unreasonable. That was our only complaint.

50th birthday wknd

We booked the Marcia Lee Lake House to celebrate my & a good friend’s 50th birthdays. The combined TC/Leelanau/Old Mission area is one of my favorite places on Earth, so I wanted to bring my sis & some of my best pals — who had not visited the area before— up to celebrate a big milestone. Per usual, the trip did not disappoint & the Marcia Lee Lake House was an excellent home base. The location is great & the property is beautiful! We loved just walking through the backyard to the lake to soak up the beautiful sunsets. We also used the provided kayaks & built a fire in the fire pit. The house itself is airy & open & well appointed with an ample kitchen, nice bedrooms & a roomy loft. The house is attached to the owners’ home, but there is no shared wall as a garage separates the two homes. Can be a little tricky to find; follow the small wooden “Marcia Lee Lake House” signs & turn left onto a shared drive when you see the small, vertical green “6541” sign. You’ll then wind around to the large shared property & “your” cabin will be the farthest of the two. Again, we really enjoyed our time there & would book again.

Convenient, very clean

Everything we needed. Beautiful outdoor area by the lake. Kayaked and enjoyed the neighborhood loons. Comfortable beds and very clean. It was difficult to locate, but we enjoyed the stay. The only thing we would have liked was a bit more private area for sitting. Loft is open to the living area so difficult if not everyone has the same sleep schedule.

Leelanau Lake House

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was located on a beautiful area of Lake Leelanau. Beach was shallow and owner provided 3 kayaks. Overall our stay was very nice. We had an issue with the septic backing up which took 3 days to correct. We could not use washer, dishwasher, kitchen sink was backing up, but we took fast showers every other day. When you are paying top dollar to stay at a lakefront property , your comfort should not be compromised.The property owner seemed genuine in her efforts to resolve the problem. However, each time I spoke to Visit Up North I received the standard corporate answer. I was told I could wash my dishes in the kitchen sink. Would you wash dishes in a sink backing up with sewage? I was told I could take a shower at the property owner’s house. Weird. In the end they refunded us less than 1/2 day’s rent. We will not using Visit Up North again

Not what was advertised

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was not what was advertised. The listing was advertised as a 3 bedroom unit when I booked the rental. We arrived to find one of the bedrooms did not have a window and the secondary escape from the room was a locked door which could not be opened. This made the room useless as a bedroom.The description of the property does make it clear that the unit is attached to the owner's house. When I contacted Up North Regarding an issue encountered with the property, the owner of the property showed up and got very short with me for calling the rental company. For this property you are NOT to call Up North, but deal directly with the owner. The owner was not pleasant to deal with and I do not pay to go on vacation to be treated so rudely. In regards to the condition of the unit, while the unit is pleasant, the furniture is nicked and scratched. I was really disappointed with the hand me down quality of the furniture.
