I have stayed an VRBO rentals all over the world. This is by far the best rental we have had with regards to thoughtfulness of design, sweet treats left for renters and the extent to which the home was stocked (kitchenware, beach towels, stand up paddle boards, kayaks). Colette did a wonderful job communicating with us before, during and after our trip. She was very accommodating with regards to arrival/departure times and had wonderful suggestions regarding local eateries, beaches, wineries. She surprised us with scones, wine and free drinks at a sweet local cafe. The lake is quiet and peaceful. We caught 3 and 5 pound bass on the dock. It was a quick drive to Frankfort, Glen Arbor and Leelanau Peninsula. I hope to return several times in the future!
What a beautiful place to spend a week of relaxing and site seeing. This cottage is absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with all the amenities you didnât even realize you needed. It was the perfect location to spend time on a quiet and scenic lake or close to so many must see attractions like beaches and dunes and quaint towns with fun shops. Collette has the cottage decorated straight out of a magnolia magazine. She also had Michigan cherry scones (which were perfect with my morning coffee) as well as special mini coffee samplers and a bottle of wine waiting for our arrival. And then there are the bathrooms! I wish I could have moved those adorable bathrooms to Ohio with me. I wish I could just move in and live there, it is so warm and inviting. Iâm going to miss that morning coffee on the patio or dock staring at the incredible view. I canât say enough to describe the wonderful experience we had. Hands down, the best VRBO Iâve ever been to. Do yourself a favor and rent this place, you will be so happy!
This property was everything we could have asked for and more. It has an awesome view right on the water. It is updated and clean. It was a great place to use as a home base while exploring Northern Michigan or just relaxing on the lake. We will likely be back next year.
We absolutely would stay here again. House looks like it's newly renovated, new furniture, very clean, all very nice, really adds to the relaxing view and kayaks.
Beautiful, well appointed property on a quiet lake. Very clean. Plenty to do in the area. We very much enjoyed our stay. Owner very responsive to questions. I highly recommend!
Everything about this property is top notch! Everything we needed was on hand - from the well-stocked kitchen to detergent for the washing machine and dishwasher to a jar of toiletries in case we forgot something. The host quickly responded to all of our messages. We loved how private the location was and are already considering a return trip.
Everything about the home and the lake is just perfect. The home has been thoughtfully appointed with all the necessities (plus so many extra touches) you need for the week. We spent a few days on the quiet lake enjoying kayaking, fishing, playing bags and just relaxing. So peaceful at night, sitting on the back porch with the gas fireplace enjoying the stars and quiet (with the occasional loon). Great location for day trips to Frankfort, Elberta Beach, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and wineries on Leelanau Peninsula. Hated to leave but plan to be back again!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
We had a wonderful week staying in this cottage. It is absolutely beautiful and everything you might possibly need is provided. The cottage is immaculate, the kitchen is well equipped and the beds are so comfortable. We spent most of our time on the gorgeous deck enjoying the view of Little Platte Lake. Colette is friendly and communicative, helping to make this trip one that we will cherish forever. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We are already looking forward to next year!
