Cottage holiday rentals in Lake Leelanau

This adorable cottage was the highlight of my vacation. My whole family loved it so much. We all agreed we would live there if we could! Beautiful property inside and out. The kids explored the wooded area, we utilized the fire pit, and the huge island was top tier. The layout and everything provided made for an incredibly easy stay. Very spacious with plenty of guest storage. Highly recommended! We will definitely use again. Communication was great. There truly was nothing more we could have asked for!

We had an amazing time at Salma’s big beautiful cottage! It’s like something out of a dream. The cottage itself is very beautifully designed with lots of wooden features & accents both within the interior and exterior. We fell in love with its beauty. It’s super spacious inside and has everything you need for a dreamy cottage weekend. The outdoor hot tub with string lights were a very cute touch! The large property is nestled within a lovely outdoor wooded area that feels far away from busy life but is actually only 15-20 minutes away from most local Traverse city places! So it makes for a great location that is best of both worlds. The cottage was very clean and it was very easy to spend the day lounging around in and then enjoy its cozy nature in the evenings. Salma was very kind and easy to communicate with! She was a wonderful host. We really loved staying here and would love to return someday. This is a true one of kind gem and I’m sure you’d make some wonderful memories here too.

Omg, I don’t have the words for how awesome this place is. First, it is exactly what you see in the pictures and more. Second, it’s not far from anything and third, it’s so peaceful. I could get lost in pure bliss there. Weather I was in the hot tub, the porch, at the table on the deck, the fire pit, the dock, or even just sitting on the beach collecting rocks. Absolute Heaven. I’ve even told the rest of my family that next time we go to Michigan, we’re going to Traverse City and we’re staying at this house. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you!

The hostess w the mostest! Carrie thought of all the little things a guest might need. The home had detailed instructions for anything we could think of, and she left wonderful local recommendations in the binder - which we took advantage of! The hot tub was super easy to use and we were even left a s’mores kit to enjoy in the back yard fire pit!

We had a great time at Torch lake. Ryan was a great host - very responsive who left very good instructions, recommendations for restaurants things to do in the area. The home is very clean and well supplied. The pontoon is very nice.

We stayed at this awesome cottage in northern Michigan for a golf trip with four guys, and it couldn’t have been better. The Airbnb is set on a ton of land—super peaceful and private, perfect for unwinding after long days on the course. The place was spotless, well-stocked, and everything was easy to navigate. One of the biggest highlights was the hot tub—absolutely clutch after walking 18+ holes each day. The host made everything simple with great communication and clear instructions from start to finish. It was one of those stays where everything just worked, which let us fully relax and enjoy the trip. Highly recommend this spot if you’re planning a golf getaway or just want a quiet place to chill with friends.

Really nice place and set up for a large group. Beautiful area, nice hot tub and sauna. Comfy beds and nice furniture! Kristi was an awesome and accommodating host.

We had an amazing stay! The space was exactly as described - clean, stylish, and cozy. It was an ideal location, close enough to shops, restaurants, and trails, but still tucked away enough to feel private and peaceful. Would recommend!

I loved this Airbnb! It was a perfect size and was beautiful. Super close to town yet still felt like we had a quiet neighborhood to stay in as well. Our host was the sweetest and communicated so well with us. If I ever need to come back to lake city, I would love to stay here again!

This house was exactly what we were looking for. Directly on the lake with an area for our kids to play, a dock to enjoy and an awesome porch and outdoor firepit. The house was very clean and had all cookware and basic items we needed. Great place for fun with the family or just go relax and unwind.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The property was stunning! We wished for better weather to enjoy the kayaks and paddle boats, but that was nothing that could’ve been controlled. We did enjoy a fire in the pit. The lake view was beautiful. Jake was very pleasant and made sure we were taken care of. Thank you!

Amazing location right on Lake Michigan! Private beach; seriously so peaceful. This was our second year in a row here and we will be back again!

I highly recommend staying here. The place was clean and had a lot to offer with games, blankets, kitchen ware, air conditioners and a fire place. The cottage was clean and very welcoming.

Cute cottage with all the necessary amenities. Loved the charm of the place. Comfy furniture a plus. Bike trail nearby easily accessible. Quiet neighborhood. We’d rent again!

Great place to stay for our group of 4 while playing some of the nearby golf courses. Exactly as advertised, and the path down to the river through the woods felt like true "Up North."

Many thanks to Oksana for the wonderful visit! The guest house is a jewel box full of treasures. It is so comfy and close to town. It was perfect for my husband, dog, and me with the wonderful fenced backyard. Thanks for all the wonderful touches like homemade bread and information for dog-friendly hikes and beaches. It was great to explore and photograph the nearby lake shores and then come back to relax at the guest house. We hope to visit again soon!

Our stay was enjoyed by all! Great location, really clean and just had everything we needed! Right on the water. Wouldn’t hesitate to come again!

This place is beautiful, right on the lake and not too far away from Traverse city. There’s some really cool places to eat and drink nearby as well. I’d highly recommend staying here.

Our car broke down on our way up North so we got to the house very late with no food or water because stores were closed and luckily this house had everything we needed and was so clean and cozy! We enjoyed every room and played lots of games and built a fire everyday. The guidebook was also so helpful! We enjoyed this house so much and would love to come back and stay at Darcy’s again. One of my favorite stays, thank you so much!!

Ben was able to accommodate my last minute stay and I’m so appreciative! I was hoping to get away from the city and enjoy watching the lake with my partner and pup. We were obsessed with the sunroom, multiple board games/puzzle available, watching movies and just catching back up. The lake is still a bit chilly which worked for me because nobody else was out and about! It was such a peaceful, calming trip and I would definitely come back.

This is an amazing property with a remarkable view over the lake. It is a very tranquil location and it is easy to feel close to nature. The cabin is very well appointed and was perfect! The host was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Overall a five star property and experience. Highly recommended!

This was truly the perfect place for us to stay! Several members our family ran the Charlevoix Marathon, and the cottage proved to be the ideal place for us to rest, to relax, and to enjoy the beautiful Lake, Michigan! Tara and Caleb were fantastic hosts! Their communication was wonderful, and the house exceeded our expectations! I would highly recommend this place, and we would seriously consider coming back again in the summer next year! We enjoyed s’mores by the fire, kayaking on the lake, incredible sunsets, and very comfortable accommodations. Thank you for fantastic weekend and a memorable stay for our family!

Great place / location. Easy access to surrounding attractions. All as desribed in posting. Would absolutely stay here again.

This was our second stay at Tyler and Colleen’s and what a relaxing stay it was. We enjoyed many evenings on the deck, watching the kayakers on the river, making a fire, or having dinner on the big picnic table. The house is located at the end of the street so it is very private and quiet, yet minutes away from all Glen Arbor has to offer. We can’t wait to visit again.
