Family-friendly holiday rentals in Leelanau County

Marvelous, The stay at Yana's condo was marvelous. Clean, Efficient and peaceful. with a wonderful " winter wonderland" view. Yana was very helpful and responsive, and I felt right at home during my stay. Thank you again!

My husband & I rented Melissa's cottage for a weekend getaway to Traverse City. It was so peaceful & the home was just as described/pictured. The gifts left for us were delicious & made us feel very welcome. The hot tub was perfect for cold mornings & evenings. The cottage was clean & decorated lovely (LOVE all the books!). We feel we chose the perfect rental for our weekend! Leelanau county has a lot to offer & more than we realized! We wine tasted on Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City, but apparently there were nice wineries even closer - & one just a couple miles down the road from this rental! The heat worked well and the fireplace was such a nice touch for the winter. I'm so glad it's usable! Thank you again for sharing your cottage with us!

Great place to stay for a long weekend with my wife, 10mo, and dog. We stayed in the winter so weren’t able to use the outside space much so we’ll have to rebook in the summer time! Excellent host, very responsive and proactive with things around the house.

Amazing! The pictures don’t do it justice, really. The house was incredible. Had its own master quarters (which my son loved). The second largest bedroom had an incredible view of the lake. The windows in the living space made it so you’re always looking at the water. The beach had lots of shells and rocks for my daughter and you could walk right into the water. There wasn’t a lot of boat traffic so the water was always calm. Perfect location. Easy 5 min drive into downtown TC. Also a 20-25 min straight shot drive to Lake Michigan as well. Cannot wait to come back!

We enjoyed a great stay at Taylor’s house. It was clean, comfortable, and very well stocked. All beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. We walked to the beach almost every day and hung out on the deck in the evenings. We appreciated the gating that was available for the deck to keep it safe for our 3 toddlers, and everyone enjoyed making s’mores around the fire ring. We found everything we needed in Sutton’s Bay and Traverse City, including an excellent Children’s Museum that came in handy one rainy day. All 9 of us agreed that Taylor’s would be a great place to come back to again!

We highly recommend this beautiful cottage. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet getaway and waking up to an incredible view , this is the right place to be! Tonie checked in on us , which we really appreciate and was quick with communication.

Thanks for hosting our family!

Our stay at Melissa's property was absolutely perfect for our large group! The home was clean and very well maintained, the location couldn't have been any better. Our only regret was that this was a working trip; we wish we could have stayed longer!

We loved our stay at the Bentley Cottages! The cabins are exactly as pictures, rustic but functional. The views are spectacular as well as the setting. Charming old camp, like what cottages used to be when our parents went up to Lake Leelanau. Our family lives down the road as well as friends, so a perfect spot for our family. Can’t wait to head back up next August! Thanks James for sharing it with us.

We had a wonderful weekend at the lovely Jolli-Lodge! It exceeded any expectations I had. The property is beautiful. Our room ( the Loft ) was perfect. The owners were as kind as could be. We appreciated all the sweet touches around every corner. We loved listening to the lake each night and watching the sun set with other guests in front of the main lodge. It was a perfect weekend at a magical place!

We had a great stay at Jo’s place. Jo was super responsive and the place was very intimate. The highlight is the cute outdoor patio with a fire pit and party lights. The space is perfect for a couple + a pet (my recommendation) who is looking to explore TC and retire for the night at this location as there is no Kitchen (only a microwave and mini fridge). Overall well maintained and clean and a central location in Traverse City.

Nello was an excellent host and gave great instructions! The property itself was very quiet and far away from other houses. It was a great location not too far from either Traverse City or the Sleeping Bear Dunes!

Clean!! The set up of the bedrooms and baths worked great for our trip. Beds and furniture were great. One thing we did not find was a scissors in the kitchen. Climbed Sugar Loaf Mountain and took in some great views.

Tammy is a truly special person who made sure our visit was memorable. Unit was clean and beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels, blankets and parking at the door. We only cooked breakfast, but kitchen seems to be well appointed with pots and pans. Lots of plates, wine glasses and coffee mugs. Do bring your own coffee. I highly recommend!

My family and I had a great time at Tammy's place in Unit G2. The place was exactly as described, including the rollaway beds in each bedroom that were plenty comfortable for my kids to use. The place was clean and check-in and check-out were easy. Thank you for a great stay!

The property was very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy. Tammy was available by phone and text in case we needed anything, but we didn’t, as everything was in order for our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo layout was great for our group of 8. The location was fabulous! Wonderful for our group bike rides and days at the beach. The pool is absolutely beautiful, the entire perimeter is surrounded by gorgeous flowers. The ski mountain right outside our front door was perfect for morning walks and runs with amazing panoramic views. There was a meteor shower one of the nights we were there so many of us hiked with our ground covers to the top of the mountain to hang out under the shooting stars. I want to mention that we had read a review that had us a bit apprehensive about the condo smelling musty. There was no musty smell at all! The condo was very clean and fresh. All beds were comfortable and having three full baths for our large group was awesome. The water pressure was surprisingly spectacular - three showers going at once did not compromise water pressure or temperature in any of them! We recommend this condo. Tammy was readily available and worked with us around our check in and check out . She is a great host! We are planning on returning in the winter for a cross-country ski weekend!

The host was very friendly and responsive. The place was lovely and it was a great value.
