Cottage vacation 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!

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.

Booked the Grumpy Bear for my Bachelor party and it was a great experience for everyone. Kristi was friendly, clear and extremely helpful. Would definitely book again!

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!

Such a nice Stay in Beulah! The place was so clean and came with so many perks! Games and a Bluetooth speaker, plenty of towels, bathroom with a heated fan, EXTRA COTS! Check in and check out was a breeze and the host was very friendly with their communication! All around a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to hike, beach or relax.

Cannot recommend this host and this property enough. Nathan was communicative while we were still looking at the property, and responded quickly through the rest of the process until check out. He provided great recommendations for local places to try out and we had a peaceful stay. The property was roomier than expected for the master and cozy for the spare rooms, and we especially loved the living room and outdoor furniture. So happy to have found this gem of a place and excited to come back in the future!

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.

Very cute historic home, felt so comfy and cozy my entire stay. The king sized bed was so comfortable and the linens were so soft! House was on a quiet street, I loved sitting out on the deck enjoying nature and the river. I also enjoyed walking along the river, and even walked to downtown and back easily. Appreciated all the local recommendations provided by the host :) Would definitely stay here 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.

we loved our stay here! it was not too far from town and we had a lovely little bachelorette weekend for a friend!

The stay at Lori & Peter's Interlochen cottage was fabulous--from the moment of booking through follow up as I was leaving they were responsive and helpful; no question was too small. The place was just as pictured: quiet, secluded, yet close to everything I needed or wanted, well furnished and appointed, comfortable beds, charming kitchen dishes, wonderful area. It was absolutely perfect.

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!

Lovely home ; Well appointed, plenty of room and great beach! Everything we could want !

Great place to stay! Our family loved this cabin :)

Incredible hosts and a breathtaking riverside property! The cozy wood-burning fireplace and outdoor stone sauna create the perfect atmosphere for a serene and rejuvenating winter retreat.
