Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Leelanau County

Perfect location and a wonderful host! Far enough away from downtown for privacy, but close enough where it’s easy to get to everything (downtown Traverse City, Old Mission wineries, etc) also there’s a very nice walking path in the back, which is a great way to start the morning. Highly recommend!

Can’t say enough good things about our stay! Joe let us check in early, which was super helpful. We were a group of two families with lots of little kids, and the house was set up in a way where we all felt comfortable and kids were able to play and run around outside. The house is super clean and deceptively spacious, and everyone had plenty of room. Joe communicated with us throughout our stay to make sure we had what we needed, and even gave us the option to check out a bit late. It’s a great house for groups (especially families) in a quiet, beautiful location. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I love the Leelanau peninsula and try to go up once in the spring before the craziness and once in the fall each year. Tiffany’s place did not disappoint. The property its self was magical, private, and everything as described. The location was 5 stars for what we enjoy - Leland, Suttons Bay, Northport, Glen Arbor and all in between! Would HIGHLY recommend staying here!

Fantastic home! We loved everything about this place. Lots of space for our family of six. House was clean, stocked with lots of amenities. Linens, towels, board games, books, kitchen supplies.. We loved the beautiful view, deck, fire pit, dock, paddle board and kayak. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back!

The cottage was so cute and has its original charm! Directly on the water and a nice fire pit to utilize! Just a quick stroll down the path and you’re at the beach. The cottage is well equipped with things you need on the daily. We just bought some groceries and were good to go! The location is perfect! It’s very close to Leland Fish Town, downtown Lake Leelanau, Suttons Bay, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Dandan was a wonderful host! Friendly and responsive. Clear instructions. It was truly a lovely getaway and Dandan is an excellent host!

We loved it here! Beautiful cottage on a peaceful and pristine lake in one of the most gorgeous areas of MI with excellent hosts! We really enjoyed our time here and are grateful to Joe and Natalie for our experience at their fantastic cottage.

Serving as a baby moon for my wife and me, this place was a very nice combo of peaceful and access to different parts of the peninsula. Virginia was very communicative from the jump, making sure we had everything we needed. If you’re hurting for ideas on things to do and places to eat, a nice touch was the binder they put together detailing a number of local favorites. Northern Michigan is a bit of hidden gem with all its beauty, and this home perfectly encapsulates that. Highly recommend and thank you for the stay!

We loved this cozy cabin in the woods. It was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of space for our family of three. Loved that there were travel sized shampoos, conditioner, and soaps. Also they left a little snack bowl out with chips and popcorn and a s’mores kit! Thoughtful touches!!!

We enjoyed our stay at Tom and Juli's place, it was very clean and looks exactly like the pictures. The location could not be better, you can easily walk to stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and a great park that has an awesome playground for kids and tennis/pickleball/basketball courts. You are also within a 10 minute drive of all the hikes and activities of Sleeping Bear Dunes. Tom also gave us some great advice on activities for my kids. I would give this place a great recommendation and if we were to ever return to the area, this is the first place I would look for.

I absolutely loved my stay at this charming studio! It had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing solo retreat. The setting is incredible - right on the water. The views were breathtaking, especially at sunrise, and the private sandy beach made it feel like a hidden oasis. The landscaping is gorgeous , and the beachfront seating, fire pit, and beach toys made it easy to unwind and enjoy. The patio was a perfect spot to relax with a view and peaceful atmosphere. The owners were so kind and welcoming. It felt tucked away, yet still close to everything. Truly the best of both worlds. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, and relaxing stay with stunning setting.

The view is like none other!! Very cozy and clean! We would stay again.

Right on Main Street, just a couple minute walk to the heart of downtown Leland. The perfect home base for relaxing in between beach walks, swimming, shopping, and eating. The attic was larger than pictures showed! There was pretty much everything you’d need to feel comfortable. Nicolle was very inviting and easy to communicate with. Hopefully we’ll be back again!

Perched on a peaceful hilltop surrounded by trees, the Birdhouse offers cozy, thoughtful accommodations. You will find that Joyce has thought about every detail in how the space is designed. From the delicious local coffee from Higher Grounds, to the comfortable bed and all of the kitchen supplies you could need, your shelter needs will be met - and then some with Joyce’s hospitality. We used her detailed visiting guide to pick up dinner (which did not disappoint in the least! Run, don’t walk, to Nittolo’s!) Our time in northern Michigan is always a treat. It feels like time is slower and the days are a little less stressful and our time at Joyce’s was no exception. This past weekend at the Birdhouse was one of our most memorable trips and Joyce’s hospitality played a large part in that. She was communicative leading up to our arrival date, was helpful when we had questions and was kind enough to let us meet and spend time with her adorable pups. We can't wait to return!

This was a fully equipped studio apartment, it had everything that we needed for our stay. I really liked the laundry room and ability to do a couple of loads while we were there. We also cooked at least a meal a day, and everything worked well. The refrigerator is full sized and has full size freezer as well. This is a great location as it is right on a main street downtown with some shopping and restaurants close by, a grocery store within a couple of blocks, and the lake within walking distance as well. Our grandkids really liked the park that was only two blocks away, and we played some pickle ball there, too. Glen Arbor is truly a nice, clean, safe town. Great place to visit.

We had a great time staying at Victoria’s Sutton’s Bay retreat! Her place was very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect… across the street from the beach, boutiques and restaurants as well as easy to drive to wineries and all of the wonderful towns. We had the pleasure of meeting Vicky. She was readily available if we needed her help and to answer any questions. We highly recommend this Air B&B and hope to return!

What can I say about Tranquil Oasis? Only that it was truly one of our favorite places ever to stay! It's above a clothing shop right in downtown Glen Arbor, so you truly can't get a better location. It's walkable to everything in Glen Arbor, and right near the Cherry Republic, where, let's be honest, you will want to be almost every day! The place is newly renovated and the taste is superb. There's a huge balcony, peaceful surroundings, beach chairs provided for guests. It's got a great flow, a great feel and was spotless. Everything was perfect here and we would book again in a heartbeat should we venture to Glen Arbor again. You can't go wrong booking this place!

Very close to a quiet little beach. Nice quiet place to stay.

Our stay was absolute magic. Being able to stay above our absolute favorite chocolate shop was a dream come true. There is nothing like coming off of the beach and straight into the shop to grab a frozen chocolate bar and giant cookie! Such a unique and amazing spot. Can’t recommend it enough.

Mandy was great right from the start. I was frantically looking for a house that could accommodate a family of 6 while still giving everyone their space, when I came across the listing I was so excited, but dates were not in my favor in regards to availability. I reached to to Mandy and booked moments later. We were able to check in beforehand which just gets vacation going sooner than later! The view from the second you walk in the door is gorgeous! All rooms had plenty of space for your own items, I am one that unpacks even for 2 nights and love drawers and hangers LOL. The only thing, and I might have not seen it correctly is that the twin bed room and Queen bed room are swapped. I thought the Queen room had the full bath, but my brother, SIL and baby were just fine with the 1/2 bath. Definitely on the list for next year's adventure!

We spent a week at Dylan and Suzanne's condo. We planned it as a relaxing getaway – and it really was. The weather turned out a bit cooler than expected, but that ended up being perfect since we did a few days of hiking and the rest exploring the small towns along the coast. (Highly recommend the Bayview Trail that's accessible right from The Homestead.) Each day we'd come back and hang out on the screened-in deck. Our favorite feature! Even on the rainiest day when it was in the mid-50s, we grabbed a blanket and sat out there. It's just so peaceful. You can hear the waves and the surrounding trees make you feel like you're way off the beaten path. The condo is well-appointed and comfortable. I love the artwork they have on the walls. Lots of soothing scenes. Glen Arbor is a great spot to explore and close to many other lakeshore towns. Super easy to get around. If we're in the area in the future, we'd happily book the condo again!

We stayed at Caroline's place for a long weekend getaway and it was lovely. The home was clean and cozy, we felt like we were in a treehouse with the wooded surroundings and fresh snow fall. It was very peaceful. We loved the wood burning fireplace. There was firewood and starters available in the sheds outside which was very convenient. It's also walking distance to the spa nearby which has a great view of the lake. We hope to come back and visit again sometime!

Our stay was relaxing and exactly what we needed. The walk to the water was short and easy, giving us great views of the sunset.

Great location for exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes area. Lots of great little towns to visit and Glen Arbor is centrally located. The condo had everything we needed and had a great view of Lake Michigan at sunset. Highly recommended!

We stayed here for the Iceman bike race. It was a great location for our needs. Mike was proactive and gave us all instructions needed for check-in well in advance. Place was as described and had everything we needed. Would recommend!
