One-bedroom cabin on Lake Leelanau. Sunset view. Pet considered.

This home rents weekly Saturday to Saturday only during the prime summer months. Short stays are welcome if they back up to an existing reservation. Tackle Box is a rustic, one-bedroom cabin on south Lake Leelanau that welcomes up to 5 guests.

This area is fantastic for having plenty of family fun. The cabin is best for a family or a couple as there is only one bedroom. There is one king bed and a single bed in the bedroom that faces the lake. The main area features a day bed that can sleep 2. Full kitchen with gas stove. Sheets and towels are included.

This property has a fantastic outdoor area that leads to the lake. This location faces west so be prepared for amazing sunsets. The area around the cabin is fun and safe for little ones to play. Well-behaved pets will be considered. A dock and mooring are provided. Bring up your fishing boat and fish on Lake Leelanau. There is a charcoal grill and an outdoor picnic area with a picnic table. Beach chairs are set up for lakeside relaxing.

This area is 20 minutes from downtown Traverse City, Suttons Bay, and Leland. Wineries and breweries dot the Leelanau Peninsula. Shopping at Tom's is an easy 15-minute trip. Sleeping Bear Dunes is a pretty half-hour drive. Visit Grand Traverse Bay for Tall Ship cruises or enjoy one of the many festivals.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second year we have rented in the summer, and they are always attentive and receptive to us and what we need. They also were willing to discuss a payment plan for deposits that would work. Only recommendations is to put batteries in the clocks, tv remotes (the Netflix one would barely work) and fix the back screen door so it properly shuts. Only about 1.5mi. away from Tart trail to ride bikes.

Overall a good visit, but the first night they only left 1t. of dish soap for us so we had to call to try and get more the next day. People are right, the place is very hard to find. We were right there, but along with about 8 other cabins. The address isn't even correct and the cabin not labeled. They could do much better with this. Nice to swim on lake and go to bike trails.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wish they didn't have a generic letter for all properties. Didn't know where to put the garbage, The grill is unusable, had to go buy one because we brought all food that needed grilling. Needed more towels for 4 ppl for two day's. Tried calling management company per phone number but nobody answered and now return call.Otherwise it was a good weekend after we figured things out..

This cabin was awesome and the lake is gorgeous! If you’re wanting to get out of the hustle and bustle of Traverse City, but still be close to beauty, this place is perfect. Suttons Bay is only an 8 minute drive with lots of restaurants and shopping. The only issue was finding the place. The address we were provided with our reservation did not match the address on the outside of the cabin or inside the cabin on the paperwork posted on the refrigerator. We had to call the property management company when we got there because the addresses did not match. They were helpful, but I feel like a lot of that could be elevated with the cabins being better marked. Other than that, the place is perfect!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was nice inside. Had everything we needed except it was cold at night and it would have been nice to have a small oscillating heater for the master bedroom. Parking was not as expected. It really didn't indicate where parking for each cabin was. Really didn't appreciate cameras watching us. We won't stay again.

The cottage was a wonderful throwback to my childhood on Lake Leelanau. It could have used a little more attention to cobweb removal but otherwise clean. One major issue that VRBO needs to address is the house number and signage inconsistency. There was one house number on the email, the number on the house itself was missing a digit but even substituting the digit it didn't match the email and there was a third number on the welcome note on the refrigerator. There was no name on the cottage but there was an antler next to the door that said "Drift-Wood". This cottage was supposed to be "Tackle Box". Also, the cottage isn't really tan, it is more of a gold / mustard color. This made for an uncomfortable time wandering around looking at all the cabins to make sure we had the right one. The neighbors were NOT amused. Other than that, things were GREAT! King bed was comfortable and we could hear the waves at night.

The owner and her family live on either side of the property. The space between their two homes is the space you will be renting. They are SUPER friendly, accommodating, fun, and giving people. They made friends with our children, gave them compliments, and helped us with our 9-year-old when he hurt his foot on the rocks in the lake. Allowed our older dog to be off-leash and offered us food. They told us the place's history as it had been in their family for 70 years and asked us how we were. They were pleasant to be around and spend time with. The cabin was cozy and accommodating! The beds were comfortable, with plenty of pillows and blankets. We felt at home here. We don't mind having neighbors and being friendly in a common-shared space, so it wasn't a problem. If you want privacy, it may be a little off-putting at first, but their hospitality makes you feel like a part of the family. If you are OK with that, I'd recommend it! My only complaint is the address that the rental company provides you is not the same as the address listed on the house. We would have been totally lost if it weren't for the owner being there. We arrived after 5 pm, so the rental company was closed and did not answer their phone. Even the pictures of the outside of the home look different than when they were taken, so it's challenging to find. During office hours, the rental company is more than helpful, though!

The key did not come out of the lock box first thing. There is a dock with a boat docked to it at all times. This dock cannot be used --makes no sense that some can use it and others cannot. We were forced to walk through the seaweed to get to our boat at the mooring and I got "the itch." The owner of the land is right next door and let's you know it. They also let you know the slightest thing "wrong" that is done incorrectingly per them. Kids and adults were constantly crossing through the property --we felt no privacy. The deck and lawn chairs were taken from us --my kids could not use them when they wanted/needed --they were finally returned. The floor near the back door is soft and is about to fall in at anytime. Half of the windows do not open or there is not a place to hook them open for the hot days. The cookware is very limited --very odd strainer. There is not a space heater on the cold nights. There was not a dumpster for our trash. It was there one day and then disappeared after the holiday forcing us to take our trash with us. However, there was soap, trash bags, paper towels, and towels/was cloths. Final conclusion: avaerage at best.

It was a nice rustic cabin for family vacation and fishing. We chose it for proximity to lake michigan beaches and nature conservancy trails. The directions were not correct..the address on the info sent to us, did not match the address on the cabin. I left a note on the table with the correction. Other directions were good on sheet but address was wrong. Both screen doors should be replaced...chipmunks came inside back door that would not close completely. We could have closed the heavy doors but it was high 80 degrees and we needed cross cabin ventilation. Otherwise, all was nice...very comfy beds, clean, quiet experience without neighbors.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My friends & I booked this beautiful cabin for the weekend. It had a rustic feel with all the comforts of home. It was exactly what we wanted! The cabin was clean, the beds were comfortable & we cannot wait to go back. The only thing I would add is better directions or signage for the cabin itself.

My husband and I as well as our friends enjoyed our stay at this cute quaint cabin! Everything we wanted to do was short driving distance from the cabin & LOTS of winery’s in close proximity! We will definitely be back! Would be perfect for a summer getaway as the cabin is right on the lake!

Very rustic. Pictures in listing were not the same as the Cabin. Had to buy cleaning supplies as Tv stand was coated in dirt. New electrical. No place to put your drink while watching tv. On last day there a couple was sitting in lounge chairs when I returned from lunch. They said friends of family. Nice people but strange they would be there to sit in the sun.

Cabin was ok. King bed had a topper with regular sized sheets. Had to remake the bed every day. Tv only worked at 1 volume and only for subscription streaming. No batteries in one of remotes. Kitchen adequate. Lake view was lovely, but we had 30 mph winds most of the week. Musty smell and carpeted. Will look for another location next time

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been visiting the Traverse City area for many years, but this was the first time we stayed in Lake Leelanau. We enjoyed the setting but had difficulty with the door and lock on the cabin. We had no internet connection in the area, and only sporadic cell phone connections, which ruined our plan to order meals to eat in the cabin to avoid COVID risks. The area was beautiful and peaceful. The cabin was rustic and could have used some updates. Lots of spider webs, even in the kitchen area. But it was cozy and generally comfortable and we met some people who gave us the history of the cabins in the area, going back to the 1930’s. I would stay again, if I could use my phone (a problem I will address with T Mobile). And if the locks were updated on the doors. My dog was comfortable, and I appreciated that it was a dog friendly rental. Hard to answer the question about recommending it to someone else—that door lock is really an issue. Otherwise, I’d recommend it, and I plan to use this rental company again. They were easy to work with.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rustic but mostly clean. There were a few weird things - dirty blankets under the bed (my son said there were dead bees in the blanket, I didn't want to check), and empty bottle under another bed. The beach are and dock were great. Pots and pans collections was kind of odd, but we made it work. Nice carpet. Hard to find in that the numbered address provided did not match the number on the actual cabin. Bathroom tiny but clean/nice. Beautiful lake, but no luck fishing. Maybe a list with directions on dock, etc. in the house would have been helpful. Good mini vacation for us.
