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.

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.

It was nice and quiet... clean and rustic! New bathroom was nice! there could be some upgrades to both screen doors....doors to keep the chipmunks out! The house numbers were not correct and did not match what was sent to me in contract.

So glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet of the lake. We will check into the house number situation and take care of the screen doors. Thank you.

Lake Cabin

         

Review date: 2024-06-23

Review by Catherine A.
The cabin is a typical up north cabin. Reminded us of going to geandpas cabin up north. The lake is beautiful. The cabin could use a good spider sweep. There must be 5 living around the toilet and sink. The couch is like sitting on a wooden bench. The twin beds are not fit for adults to sleep in...very uncomfortable. BBQ tools would have been nice to have.

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..

Thank you for taking time to review this property we appreciate your suggestions and will make the appropriate changes. Our towel supply includes enough towels for the number of people the cabin will sleep, however we are always glad to bring extra towels. We are surprised to hear that we did not respond to a call. Our emergency 24 hour phone is listed in all arrival information and is answered promptly.

Review by Tina M.
The cottage was a throwback to my childhood weekends on Lake Leelanau. Except for a few cobwebs the cottage was clean. The king sized bed was comfortable and we could hear the lake waves during the night. Our one complaint is that the house number provided in the email did not match the number on the cottage (which was missing a digit as well). There was a third number listed in the welcome note on the refrigerator. Also, the house is no longer tan, it is a mustard/gold color. Lastly, there was a moose antler on the porch with "Driftwood" painted on it (no sign of "Tackle Box" anywhere). Needless to say, it took a while to convince ourselves that we had the right place.

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.

I stayed at tackle box the week of September 10th. First impression did not match the picture. Very Rustic and looked like it was being remodeled. New electrical and not a lot of light. Nice view of lake . Had to clean a couple of items and by fridge light. Than last day there got back from lunch and couple was sitting in yard in front of lake view. They said we’re friend of family. Was odd. Nice people though.

The location and lake view was great, however there are a few repairs needed (toilet seat, back screen door, outdoor chair broken). Overall, the place was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

Review of Tackebox stay

         

Review date: 2021-09-13

Review by Jan B.
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.

Review by Leah A.
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.
