Vacation Rental Reviews by

La Petite Maison

         

Review date: 2023-06-05

Review by Brookelyn S.
We had a wonderful stay in Northport for our week long winery trip! Lindsay helped us so much throughout the whole process and we couldn’t be happier with Visit Up North Vacation Rentals! La Petite Maison was as expected. Definitely could use a lot of updating, including A/C, taller shower head, and a needed mattress topper- mattress was super firm. The outside area is very relaxing and the beach is beautiful looking out onto Gull Island. Walking and biking distance to town for your morning coffee, meals, and shops. The house is on a quieter road so you don’t have to deal with loud cars in the night which was great after a long day experiencing all the towns and wineries in the area. Thank you so much Visit Up North for working with us- we will definitely be booking through you guys again!

Fall in Leelanau

Review by Tammy S.
We have stayed at La Petite Maison countless times since first renting the cottage in 1989. Through the years it has become our "home away from home". We've stayed every season except winter but only because the cottage closes for the winter. Obviously, we love it! Because we've spent so much time in the area, we didn't lament that the first 6 days of our stay brought the gales of November in October. The cottage's gas fireplace/stove not only provides extra warmth but also is a perfect cozy place for reading. The kitchen is also well equipped for making meals in so making soup was on the menu during those cold, wet, windy days. When the sun and warmer temperatures did arrive, we enjoyed time at the bay shore in the comfy lawn chairs. We greatly appreciate the owner's willingness to share their family cottage with us!

Review by Tammy S.
La Petite Maison isn't our family cottage but the family who owns it obviously loves it in the way families for generations have been treasuring their lake front cottages. We have rented this cottage countless times since our first visit in 1989 and it is our "home away from home" whenever we can visit up north.

Perfect for quick mini-moon

         

Review date: 2021-09-22

Review by Jennifer W.
My husband and I came up here for a long weekend for our mini moon, and it was the perfect location. The property is very private with our own beach, and the neighbors were super quiet. The cottage was small, but we didn't need much space. There were a lot of amenities in the kitchen for us, it was perfect. The walk to downtown was about 10 minutes, we were able to walk to Barb's Bakery and go sit by the water. I would recommend Northport and staying at this cottage, the views and location were worth every penny.

It was a wonderful experience. Big beautiful well kept grounds. Nice little beach. Northport is our favorite vacation spot for all the secret reasons (best kept secret in MI). The house is cozy but I like cozy. It had everything we needed. Very comfortable.

La Petite Maison is an adorable cottage that is both cozy and instantly comfortable. The place was spotless and we were very satisfied with how well everything had been cleaned before our arrival. It is the perfect spot for some rest. It is nearby so many amazing walking trials and scenic vistas. This cottage will be on our list of places to return to.

Perfect spot for two in Northport. We enjoyed cooking in the cheery cherry kitchen. Explored Christmas cove, Peterson beach and Keil lake in the area. Saw two swans paddling in the bay! Very relaxing sitting by the calm waters.

Northport Getaway

         

Review date: 2020-10-08

Review by Rhett R.
Overall, a great stay. We enjoyed our getaway in this cozy home. The fireplace was a welcome perk and it got a workout with the damp and colder temperatures we endured. Location is great. The only complaint we had was that the rental agency gave us the wrong address in the directions that were emailed. Word of advice, use the home rental app - it helped us get to the correct location as we arrived at night and after hours.

Cozy, Comfortable and Private

         

Review date: 2019-10-14

Review by Roger M.
My wife and I have visited MI's northwest region annually for many years, usually staying on the east side of the bay. This year, we were able to find and reserve "La Petite Maison" in Northport. What a nice find! The little cottage is very ample for two and features a large picture window looking out onto your private Grand Traverse Bay beach. The clean cottage provides all you need for a comfortable stay in one of the most desirable villages on the peninsula. It's far enough north that you are out of the hustle yet close enough to participate if that's your thing. We enjoyed visits to Christmas Cove and Peterson Park in (successful) searches for Petoskey stones, getting some staples at Tom's, dinner at Tucker's and most importantly - for me - the best pastries ever at Barb's Bakery. We were fortunate to have spectacular weather and autumn color throughout the week. We would seriously consider returning to this rental in future years.

Review by William B.
The rental was quaint, location is great, but the bed had a dip in it which made sleeping a challenge. We loved sitting by the water and walking into town for coffee in the morning. We would consider staying here again the next time we hang out along M22.

We loved our 4 night stay at La Petite Maison! Cottage was very cozy and clean with beautifully landscaped property and a wonderful view of the lake. The cottage was very clean and well appointed with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Bed very comfy and fireplace was perfect on the rainy days. Highly recommend this for a relaxing getaway.

This rental was absolutely perfect for 3 women! Honestly I bet you could do 4 people as long as someone is okay with stay on the couch. We were up there for Leelanau Uncaged and it was a great location being walking distance to downtown. The beach and swing were awesome. No issues with hot water getting 3 women through in the mornings. Loved this cottage!!!

We adored the cottage. The view of the bay was beautiful and the little beach was perfect for our anniversary get away. The only complaint we’d have is that the bed dips in the middle which makes for sleeping a little uncomfortable.

Review by Patricia C.
Cute little cottage with an amazing private beach - nice beach sand - clear water - no weeds or muck here! Nice to have a washer & dryer available. Was here during a chilly October weekend - we were plenty warm here between the heat and the gas fireplace. We were here for my nieces wedding and three of my sister rented cottages in the area. Northport is a hip town. Our first time to Northport and we were surprised by the number of wineries in the area. La Petite Maison is a "cherry" of a cottage!

Review by Amy W.
My husband and I stayed at La Petite Maison in Northport for our fifth wedding anniversary and we had the best time! The cottage is small, but very clean and just enough room for two people. The best part about this property though is the lot. There is a large, beautiful manicured yard that goes down to your own private beach with firepit. We spent each night having a fire right on the beach. Would highly recommend!

We truly enjoyed our week at La Petite Maison. What a beautiful lawn that led to the private beach! It was peaceful, quiet, and we couldn't have asked for more. We enjoyed the short walk into Northport several times during the week. And the interior was just what a cottage should be! Everything we needed was there, and it was all comfortable and very clean. Highly recommended.

We've rented LPM countless times in the past 30 years and continue to consider it out "home away from home" when visiting Northport. Although summer is high season, our fall visits are among our favorite to enjoy the quiet after the hustle and bustle of summer.

Sweet Vintage Cottage

         

Review date: 2018-06-26

Review by Laura C.
The cottage is in a lovely location just north of the sweet town center of Northport. The house's nicely landscaped back yard ends at a little beach on Grand Traverse Bay, and we enjoyed watching the water from the lounge chairs. It was a short walk into town, where we enjoyed food from Barb's Bakery, the Mitten Brewery (the pizza food truck!), and The Garage. The cottage is very cute and comfortable. We really liked having the Jotul gas stove on the cool evenings. It was a short drive to the beaches at Christmas Cove and Peterson Park. We also spent a lot of time in Suttons Bay and enjoyed Hop Lot Brewery and 9 Bean Rows.

Review date: 2017-09-26

Review by Dara B.
Our 4 children arranged for this 4-day vacation on Lake Michigan for my husband and me, so we could celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary on Lake Michigan, our favorite place. It was great to walk into Northport and look around and enjoy pizza fixed in an oven right on the street. And we only had to drive a little to visit Suttons Bay and Leland, both wonderful little towns. The highlight was walking the beach at Antrim Creek Natural Area. We had over a mile of Lake Michigan beach all to ourselves! We were impressed with Green Bird Organic Cellars - an all organic farm and winery. We also spent a day at Mackinac Island. What more could you ask?

LPM is adorable. It is small -- tight for our family of three. Two slept in the bed, one on the couch. But the property is an easy walk into town, and it's on the bay. The cupboard has interesting board games and books. The owners left their names and contact info and were very responsive to questions we had during the stay. We were just a few miles from the lighthouse. I only wish we had stayed longer.
