8.4 out of 10, Very good, (39)
"This resort is straight out of the Dirty Dancing movie. The quaint property is like a time capsule from an earlier era. Our third-floor room was clean, quiet, and relaxing. I enjoyed a nice afternoon lounging at the
beach
as families played in the water. The staff members were friendly and easily accommodated a last-minute change to our itinerary. Please read the property description so you know what you're getting. We did and were not disappointed."

"Our family has been visiting Leland, Michigan (just down the road from Lake Leelanau and Suttons Bay) for over 60 years. My daughters and I returned for the first time in 15 years with new spouses and a baby! The rental was an excellent home base to visit friends, the
beach
, and return to favorite local spots. The house was modern, spotless, well equipped. Best of all, it was charming and comfortable. The sunsets were beautiful and the beds were super comfy. The host could not have been more...
