Excellent location within easy walking distance of downtown Leland and the beaches. Check in was a breeze. House is very roomy with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. We had 6 adults and 2 young kids, with plenty of beds and room for everyone. I was a bit worried about not having AC in the room over the garage, but that was truly a non-issue. Would recommend to anyone vacationing on the Leelanau Peninsula.

So many maintenance issues which should have been addressed before our arrival

The door locks are VERY sticky which made it difficult/impossible at times to extract the key. The dishwasher sounds like the motor is going bad; super loud. The fire alarm, which is 25' high, started chirping every 15 seconds. My sil disarmed. Ants appeared on the kitchen counters on day 2 although we had kept it clear and wiped down; had to buy ant traps. The light and fan in the bath above the garage randomly went out. Lastly, we saw cockroaches out on the patio and in the laundry room. Yikes, this just grossed us out!

Awesome place, great communication with host

Lovely and well maintained property close to town. Easy walk to beach, even with little kids. Backyard was perfect size for them and we loved the layout of the bedrooms, so that our families each had their own nooks/private spaces. Greg, the host, was very responsive for the 1 time we needed to text. We have already recommended this location to several friends in the area. Loved it and made our summer!

Appreciate last minute considerations

I think we must have ousted the owner to have some r&r. We came with cleaning supplies- we had to clean the refrigerator before using it- previous renter or perhaps the cleaning crew did not think to clean out the frig. Rest of place was clean and was perfect for our stay. Sept8-12

Improve Property Management

This is a beautiful home within the perfect walking distance to Leland. The house perfectly accommodated our party of eight adult women (however, I recommend carpooling as the driveway is on the smaller side). I would not recommend this house for families with young children, as there is virtually no outdoor space to play. With that said, the management of this house is not worth the asking price. If I had seen the owner's rules prior to booking, I would not have booked. They need a complete rewrite. I respect rules. This is your home, and I am merely a guest. However, the rules were condescending and included far too much personal commentary. Multiple times, they referenced losing my security deposit, including full paragraphs in all-caps. They even let me know there are "spies" in the neighborhood, on guard to report my behavior. This made for an extremely paranoid and uncomfortable stay on behalf of our entire party, with the blinds closed for the duration of our stay. Additionally, the home was not cleaned properly prior to our arrival. Undoubtedly, we left the home cleaner than when we arrived because of the items we had to clean just to feel comfortable. Some examples include: 1. Dirty kitchen sponges 2. Dirty refrigerator & freezer 3. Ratty dish towels 4. Dirty dishes in dishwasher 5. Black, coarse hair in silverware drawer 6. Leaking Damprid bag in Master Closet 7. Disgusting bathroom fans 8. Outdoor patio that hadn't been swept/cleaned in quite some time Furthermore, the owner's rules state that each bathroom will be stocked with two rolls of toilet paper, and the kitchen will be stocked with one roll of paper towel. Upon arrival, only 1.5 rolls of toilet paper were provided for all three bathrooms, and no paper towel was provided. When I called the owner, i was polity, acting confused instead of upset. I am an adult woman, and the owner had the audacity to ask me if I was sure, and if I had checked the cabinets. After a conversation that was far too long for a simple issue, the owner was gracious enough to provide access to his locked owner's cabinet for paper products. I did appreciate this level of blind trust. It was my impression that the property owners live out of state, and there is very little oversight of the on-site management. Perhaps that is why there were so many unacceptable slips. However, when I return to Leland, I will select a different home.

Our family enjoyed our stay at this property which had everything we needed for our one week vacation. The house was clean and comfortable and the location was convenient. Access to the attached garage was a bonus - we were able to store our bikes and beach gear when we weren't using them. Hoping to return soon!
