We had a wonderful stay on Lake Leelanau. The cottage is in a very nice central location. We loved renting a pontoon and being able to dock it out front. My kids loved swimming out front. We would love to return for another visit!

Perfect location
We had a great time exploring Leelanau County. We went to Torch Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Fishtown, Traverse City, Glen Haven Beach, Suttons Bay, Northport, Grand Traverse Lighthouse, and Good Harbor Beach. The two houses were perfect for our families and centrally located to all the little towns. Would definitely stay here again.

Annual Friends Trip
The house has a beautiful view and everything we needed. It’s clean and well appointed. Plenty of room for 5 couples and extra space for kids with lots of activities. Close to wineries and downtown lake Leelanau. Short drive to Fishtown and Northport. You won’t find a better value or view on Leelanau Peninsula! The house is also very private with lots of space between neighboring properties. We would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful property
The cottages and property were just as described and exceeded our expectations. Large enough to accommodate our guests and visitors, even when it rained. Beautiful views and close enough to all the sites and shopping in the peninsula. Very comfortable and homey feeling. The owner was very easy to contact, quick to respond and friendly.

Relaxing fall weekend
The house and cottage were wonderful to stay at. Our entire family went up and the extra room was very accommodating. The location is extremely close to vineyards and towns, which made little daytime trips enjoyable and convenient. They have a converted garage into a rec room, which we had a great time playing ping pong and corn hole. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time! Beautiful lake side homes for our whole family!
Our extended family of 13 stayed in both of the homes at the up north gateway to fun. The home was very well stocked with everything we needed for a week long stay. The ping pong table was a huge hit with adults and kids! Both houses were very very clean a huge plus compared to other weekly rentals we have stayed at. The owners were very responsive at all times. I would highly recommend staying here! Beautiful lakeside view with everything you need for a great vacation!

Perfect Lake Week
Loved our stay on Lake Leelanua and could not have asked for a better place to stay. Having the two cottages on the same property was perfect. The boys loved the bunk room and the adults loved the fact the kids disappeared in there and we could enjoy some quiet time. Very relaxing to have coffee on the dock and did lots of paddleboarding. The cottages had everything we could possibly need and the owners were super responsive to our questions. The bedrooms were very comfortable and lots of outside space to enjoy. Would love to come back next summer!

Lake vacation
This has been a perfect place for a multigenerational holiday. The separate cottage was great for grandparents, and the bunk room off the main house offered a great place for younger kids/teens. The house had plenty of kitchen equipment, stocked with basics such as spices, aluminum foil, shampoos, garbage bags, toilet paper. Always appreciate not buying such stuff on vacation. The house has both indoor and outdoor door common areas to hang out, all of which have amazing views of the lake. Dock access was great when we rented a boat and kayaks. There are plenty of lawn chairs too. The location cannot be beat for lake access. Also it’s only a short drive to vineyards, and couple of smaller towns that have great ambience and fun restaurants/shops. Leland can be accessed by boat as well. We had a great time.

Great spot to stay
These cottages held our family perfectly. The bunk house was great for the kids and having their own bathroom made less congestion. The main house fit the adults and my brother and family stayed in the nut house and gave them privacy! The houses are well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. They had lots of spices and foil etc My only complaint would be that there was no place for us all to sit to eat together. And bigger table in the deck might help that issue or even a second picnic table.

Lots of room for a lot of people to have a lot of fun!
We were a family of 13 and found we had plenty of room for all of us in these 2 houses on one property. Four regular bedrooms plus a whole Bunkhouse room and a whole ping pong playroom made it very spacious. There was also lots of room outdoors for Bocce and ladder ball, water gun playing, and chairs for sunning or reading or for sitting around the fire at night. Not only the house and lake, but the surrounding area had lots to offer : hiking, biking, wineries, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, charming little towns of Leland and Fishtown, Suttons Bay, and Glen Arbor. Great vacation here!!!

Fun for all!
We had a multi-generational group of 8, 5 kids (10 to 15) and 3 adults. This house was PERFECT! The owners pride clearly shines through! The house is well stocked, very clean and has lots of space. The bunk room was awesome and just the right fit for our 4 teenage boys. The ‘nut house’ was quaint and offered a little peace & quiet for the adults. Super convenient location just a bit away from the heart of Leelaunau by boat or car. Owners were informative, kind and responsive. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Stacie Hillier and Greg Zabonick

Host profile image
Greg and I both had a love for the Traverse City/Lake Leelanau area when we were very young. Greg is originally from a small town in southern Michigan and often spent summer vacations "up north" near Interlocken. I lived my whole life in the UP of Michigan until last year at which time I moved to the Detroit area. When we toured the property, we instantly fell in love with the cottages and the location...the views are spectacular and bring peace to your soul and fresh air to your lungs. To us it represents much of what we missed about our childhood and hometowns...the beauty and peace of natural surrounding, an abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities, and room for the whole family to enjoy special time together creating memories. We are very excited to be able to share our UP North "get away" with you.
