Property was just as advertised. It was a quiet week just after the Labor Day holiday and we had the place to ourselves. Very peaceful. Great view of the Narrows - we saw otters, swans, herons, you name it. Friendly hosts and walking/biking distance to all the peninsula has to offer.

We wanted a central location that allowed us to easily shoot over to Leland, Northport or Suttons Bay, and then Glen Arbor or Traverse City. This loft was perfect. We had free access to kayaks, SUPs and fishing poles. The market, coffee shop and a few restaurants are in close walking distance. Lake Leelanau is a charming (very small) town in an incredible location. The 2nd story deck at the property is an excellent place to lounge with a drink after a long day of hiking/swimming/boating, watching the boats idle through The Narrows while taking in the breeze and watching the sunset.

Great location… between everything ‘up north’…
Pedaling Beans, Nitolos, and Fiddleheads all within two blocks… wonderful kayaking…beautiful sunsets… hiking and biking trails abound…

Artfully laid out and nicely decorated. Lovely views and we made good use of the easy access to the water right out the front door. Super location for reaching all Leelanau County has to offer. A small standard refrigerator would be helpful rather than the minifridges provided.
5.0
Thoughtfully appointed; gracious hosts; relaxing setting with large lawn, fire pit, boating. Nestled in a 'cove' a few blocks to walk everywhere - food, coffee, drinks, post office, church. Would clarify "European kitchen" for longer stays.

Excellent location, some drawbacks
Conveniently located between Leland and Suttons Bay. Not a far drive up to Leelanau State park.
Bed is pretty comfortable.
Things of note:
Bring hand soap for the bathroom. None is provided.
Bring boots. There is no path to the stairs so your shoes will get wet if it rained.
Bring blankets. When we arrived, there was only 1 blanket, none for the pull out bed. The owner wasn't reachable for a few hours and there was no alternate contact (it was 8pm and the office was already closed). We were the 1st to use the new split wall units and we spent almost an hour trying to get them to work, including downloading the manual on our phones and programming the time and schedule. There are floor heaters but only in the bedroom and bathroom (we had someone sleeping on the pull out couch in living room). The next day, someone brought us a few blankets and handed us the paper manual for the wall units.
Prepare for noise. There is someone below you and the people below us were screaming a lot after 10pm.

Excellent
Wonderful location for our first family vacation! Everything we needed/wanted in walking distance and a quite location for our 4 month old to rest. We loved watching the boats pass through the narrow and listening to live music at the winery across the street. We hope to have another vacation here in years to come.

Quiet lake retreat at small marina
A sweet retreat to decompress on Lake Leelanau. We rented the loft in early August and place was exactly as described. Close to lots of “up north” attractions; such as sleeping bear dunes, Sutton’s Bay and Traverse City. We enjoyed kayaking on Lake Leelanau and exploring the area. Great accommodations with good AC and nice new mattress. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Great getaway
Just as advertised. Quaint area and fantastic rental located on the Narrows. The staff at the little marina on the property were friendly and provided great tips on local places to see and eat. The communication with the owner Hilary was easy and he was very responsive. Other than a monsoon rain our last night everything was perfect. We be back

Excellent and Centralized Location for Leelanau Peninsula adventures!
A very nice place to spend your time “up north”. It was great for the two of us but might have been more challenging with two teens in tow. Place is central to everything you want to do in the area. Hilary was quick responding to any of the questions I’d send.

Cozy Loft and Beautiful Scenery
We had a great time on our stay at the Narrows. Cute town with beautiful Lake Leelanau and scenic views everywhere. Super kind and helpful staff. The owner Hilary is an awesome guy who genuinely cares for his guests, making sure we were comfortable and having a good time. We will definitely be returning! 😊

Great location and very clean property
We enjoyed our stay. The staff working the boathouse were fantastic. They were the best part of the trip for our granddaughter. Unit and grounds very clean and well maintained. We are very familiar with the area so enjoyed the location between Leland and Suttons Bay. Walk to Boathouse Winery and Dick’s Pour House.

We stay here for 3 nights. Saturday thru Tuesday morning. I liked the cleanliness of the place, being a pet friendly stay I wasn't sure.We brought our dog with us and the place is such that there is not much for the dogs to climb on or get dirty. We did kayaking, wine tasting, fine dinning and we rented a pontoon for half a day. We watched the sunset, played with our dog, walked to the coffee shop in the mornings, met some locals... We loved it!!!!The Narrows are just halfway between Suttons Bay and Leland, 5 minute drive each way. Some wineries are walking distance and if you have a boat you can spend all day at the Leelanau Lake. The property is well taken for, people are friendly and helpful. We don't have any complains.Thank you Hilary for such a happy stay ☺☺☺

This was our second time staying here. Last time it was over the July 4th holiday. This time we came for the fall colors with more family (who stayed in the unit below us). Great local for everything. We’ll be back next year.

Great location! Lovely view of the marina
We felt lucky to have found this property knowing nothing about the Traverse City area previously. It is a very quiet location overlooking a lovely little marina with boats to rent. It is nicely located with easy access to Suttons Bay, Leland and Glen Arbor. The loft is the second floor with one bedroom and one bath but a comfortable pullout bed in the main room. It really had everything my adult son and I needed other than perhaps a larger refrigerator. We found the two small refrigerators offered less space for food than we would have liked, but we managed.
The only comment I would make about the listing is that it was initially confusing since it said it was a 2-bedroom. The bottom unit is a two bedroom. The unit we stayed in is the "loft" above the two bedroom apartment. Also, I don't think the listing mentioned anywhere that there was only one window unit air conditioner which is in the bedroom. There are plenty of fans for the main room, however.
4.0
Great location
This property provides great access to both sides of the peninsula and is close to some excellent wineries. It is also nicely situated in the "narrows" in between two lakes, and the marina folks that are on the property from 9-9 are helpful and allow guests to use a SUP and kayak if they are not rented. Not luxury, but comfortable. Be sure to eat at Fig restaurant in town for breakfast/lunch.
5.0
Wonderful low key getaway
We really enjoyed the casual location, ease of access to the water, and convenient access to Leland, Suttons Bay, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We were near everything, but pleasantly away from crowds. We felt welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The place was a nice cozy fit for our family of 4.
