We planned a girl's weekend and found Bill's cottage absolutely perfect. It slept the 5 of us comfortably, was close to downtown Suttons Bay and the wine trail and had everything we needed! We will definitely come back and I've already recommended it to friends and family.

Clean, cozy, comfortable, private, quiet...just a great place to stay while taking in all the attractions that the Leelanau peninsula has to offer. Bill, the owner, was super helpful providing "insider information" on beaches and restaurants to make our stay even better. (Thanks for loaning us the beach chairs Bill!) We would not hesitate to stay there again.

We have stayed at this gem at least four times now, it's like a home away from home when we return. Bill makes sure we have everything we need, he is the most gracious host. We love it, so peaceful. It's exactly what we need to escape running our own business for a few days.

Bill was very friendly and gave me some good information about the area. He also was very accommodating to special requests like using an iron and brought it right over when I contacted him. Great experience overall.

We loved visiting the cottage. The location is outstanding to visit the Leelanau Pennisula's wineries, beaches, and the Sleepy Bear Dunes. It was very clean with the amenities we needed. We enjoyed dining on the porch and the kids loved the camp fires at night. We look forward to visiting again. Thanks so much!!

This place was a very pleasant surprise. Perfect location. Everything was there that we needed for the most part my only suggestions are to bring your own pillows. There is no air conditioning but we were provided with plenty of fans and with the windows open it was perfect

This was a lovely private, country setting. We enjoyed the late evenings with it being light out until 10:00 p.m. We loved being able to have bonfires. And no mosquitoes!!! The close proximity to the bike trails was a plus. Other activities we took advantage of were kayaking, beach combing, hiking, climbing the dunes, picnics, and shopping.

We loved that cottage was centrally located to various towns in Leelanua county. We also liked that we could walk to Leelanua Trail as it was at end of driveway. The outside area around cabin could stand for a good mowing and tree trimming. Drove thru low hanging tree branches as pulling in or out of cottage driveway area and due to overgrowth of tree branches into deck area we were not able to enjoy sitting out on deck. Bill was friendly and helpful and overall we did enjoy our stay.

What's not to like about this clean, comfortable, beautifully renovated historic farmhouse? It's located close to wineries, restaurants, shopping, beaches and golf courses, yet when you are "home" you can still experience all the privacy you desire. Cyclists will love the Leelanau/TART Trail, a 17-mile paved trail connecting Suttons Bay to Traverse City. If you don't have bikes, rental bikes are available in Suttons Bay. Be sure to check out Hop Lot Brewing Company. Got kids? A visit to Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum is well worth the drive to Northport. Bill is a wonderful host. He welcomed us warmly and made us feel special. We even got to meet his delightful, hard-working (HA!) cats.

We enjoyed our stay. It was tough with no air conditioning in summer in July. There are fans. Beds were comfy. No laundry, so prepare for that. Kitchen is equipped with eating utensils, a few cooking utensils, plates, mugs, cups, bowls, a few pans. No coffee but there were filters. No cooking oil supplied. There was salt and pepper. We had to share bath towels for the duration of stay. Only given 5. Prepare for that too. There was no outdoor patio that was sufficient enough to eat on. We were a little disappointed with the fire pit and the area it was in on the property. It was located on a concrete slab which may have been a home or large shed at some point. Didn’t have that up north feel for a fire pit. We loved the wood paneling and the decor, it did give an up north and cozy feel. We got locked out and Bill was there within 5 minutes to help us. Thanks for having us!

Great place. Beautiful leaves. Even when raining things were beautiful.

My wife and I stayed here for five nights. The quiet setting was just what we were looking for and the proximity to Sutton's Bay and Traverse City made it ideal.

We stayed here due to the location and the ability to easily sleep our family of 4. We loved the property itself for the quiet and secluded feel to it. However, it was only 5 minutes into the town of Suttons Bay and 10-12 minutes into Traverse City. We found it easy enough to do a day to the Sleeping Bear Dunes and beaches of Lake Michigan. We greatly enjoyed our stay and will definitely plan for another trip here next season.

We stayed four nights at the Leelanau Country Cottage. We really enjoyed our stay and Bill was very helpful delivering supplies to us and providing ideas for local dining options. The upstairs area allowed the kids to have a space to hang out separate from the main living area. My husband and I enjoyed breakfast on the seating area just outside the kitchen and we made a bonfire one night as well. Definitely a relaxing location.

Bill’s cottage was perfect for us and we lucked out with amazing weather. We loved the proximity to the bike path and wineries, visiting three one afternoon. We biked into Sutton’s Bay for paddle boarding and ice cream on another day. Hanging out by the “ruins” of the old barn was so cool. We made a fire and watched the stars come out. Other reviews mentioned that the trees need to be trimmed but I felt like they added privacy. The kitchen could use a couple more small things like a big bowl and large spoons. We improvised. Would definitely stay again. Thanks, Bill!

Quiet and a bit rural but easy to get to Sutton’s Bay, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear. Very light at night, bring your eye mask. Very clean, good kitchen, cool in the summer, lovely old barn(?) foundation to explore. Porch is not usable due to overgrown tree.

This property and location were perfect! It is such a great location, just 20-30 minute drive to everything on the peninsula. The cottage was clean and efficient. Everything about the stay was great. I would highly recommend this property for a nice relaxing stay on the peninsula.

Stayed 5 nights to attend a wedding at nearby winery but also wanted to ride bikes and explore the area. Cottage is roomy. Great location right on TART trail system; convenient to Sutton’s Bay and Traverse City, with all the wineries, restaurants and shopping but very private and quiet.

Auf unserer Rundreise um die Großen Seen nutzten wir ein paar Tage in diesem liebevoll eingerichteten Ferienhaus mitten in der Natur. Es war im Haus alles vorhanden, was man zum Wohlfühlen benötigte. Bill, der Vermieter, stellte uns vielseitiges Informationsmaterial zum Erkunden der näheren Umgebung zur Verfügung und gab uns Tipps, wo sich die schönsten Strände befanden. Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
