About this property

B-lazy at the Lake House

Relax and wake to a beautiful sunrise and the call of the loons on Lake Leelanau. This Lake House is made for relaxing and enjoying all that nature has to offer. You will see deer, wild swans, bald eagles, sand cranes, wild turkeys and much more as you hike or bike the miles of trails in Leelanau County. The Lake House is designed to be a home away from home with amenities such as internet access, a full dishwasher, 5-burner gas stove, convection-microwave oven, ice maker, laundry, two smart TVs and hot-water heat for those chilly nights. There are three bedrooms, all with a view of the lake. Two with double beds and one with twin beds. The dining room table has a leaf that allows seating for six. There is plenty of outdoor seating on the deck and patio, including an outdoor table with seating for six. The Lake House is close to the small town of Cedar MI, and 25 minutes from Traverse City located on the shore of Lake Michigan. Traverse City has wonderful restaurants, shops and an airport that can take you to or bring you back from anywhere.
Leelanau County is a large peninsula that juts out into Lake Michigan. M22 is a famous highway that rings the peninsula and offers access to picturesque small fishing villages, great restaurants and shops in Leland, Suttons Bay, Empire, Omena and Glen Arbor to name a few. Miles of paved bike trails take you from Traverse City to Suttons Bay, to North Port and to Sleeping Bear. Explore Sleeping Bear National Park – grab your camera to capture views of Lake Michigan and Glen Lake from the hills and bluffs found throughout the park. When you are finished exploring come back to the Lake House. Sit on the deck overlooking Lake Leelanau with a glass of wine from one of the many wineries Leelanau County is famous for – or sit on a bench on the dock, fish or watch the boats and the fishermen.
We have wonderful neighbors, including a WWII vet; we do ask that there be no loud music or late-night parties. Maximum stay is 14 days unless approved by owner.

Great Cottage

Just had a great 2 week stay at B-Lazy. It is in a central location for exploring all that the Leelanau Peninsula has to offer. The cottage is well stocked with anything you might need. Particularly enjoyed the gas fireplace on cold nights. Owners were great to communicate with. Definitely recommend.

Lazy days on the lake

This is an ideal home for a peaceful get away in a lovely setting. The house itself is very well appointed with spacious living spaces both inside and outside, and has been very tastefully updated with all the amenities for a stress free vacation. The large deck is surrounded by lovely flower beds ( if you appreciate flowers you will be in for quite a treat) and a lush lawn leads to the dock and lakefront. Even if the weather isn’t conducive to lake activity there is so much one can do on the Leelenau Penninsula from wineries ( Bel Lago just up the road has delicious wines and pizza, set in the middle of tranquil gardens and water features) bike riding, fishing, hiking, shopping and much more. The owner was extremely accommodating always answering my inquiries very promptly. I would highly recommend this property!!

Beautiful spot

This home was well-cared for and well-equipped. The appliances were all top notch and the kitchen was stocked with more than we needed. We loved the sun room, and the porch was great to sit on and relax or enjoy a meal together. The owners let us use their lift to store our jet ski and they also had a shed where we stored our bikes and other outdoor games we brought along. That was a nice surprise. When we had questions, the owners had good communication to answer them. The flowers around the house are beautiful! My husband felt the bed in the master bedroom was uncomfortable, and we are not used to a double bed , so he slept on the couch, which worked fine. I would be happy to stay here again if we decide to vacation in the area in the future.

So Peaceful

This little street is so quiet and peaceful. The photos of this cottage didn't do it justice. It was very clean and the best stocked rental we've ever stayed at. They really have everything you could need. The great room addition was the best part- very spacious for our family and we enjoyed doing puzzles at the table there. The lake is clean and we enjoyed being in the water, my kids loved catching minnows and small fish. Sitting at the end of the dock drinking coffee every morning was the best. The host was great at communicating. We went the week after the 4th of July and had perfect weather.

Leelanau Lakehouse

Absolutely delightful cottage. Spacious, clean, with updated amenities. Lake was lovely, especially when the sun was rising. We’d sit on the deck with our coffee each morning. Owner was easy to reach and helpful. Neighbors were very friendly too. 20-30 minute drives to TC, Glen Arbor, Fishtown. Highly recommend!

Cozy updated home on lovely 21 mile crystal clear lake!

Beautiful home on a gorgeous lake with so much to do in surrounding areas! Host was very responsive, We stayed with family so the one bath was not an issue. The home has everything you can possibly need and more. Boating, swimming, fishing, wineries, shopping, hiking, kayaking on the Crystal River and some fun restaurants were just a few of the things that made our vacation enjoyable. Great place. Only thing we commented on was the double bed in the primary bedroom. Overall a 5 star place the owners should be proud of!

B-Lazy and relax

The house is fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay. It was super clean and very well appointed. B-Lazy was a perfect description for our trip — we stared at the lake a lot from the giant back room and deck. We will definitely come back if we can. There are plenty of things to see, with one of the many wineries just 5 minutes away, Fishtown 20 minutes, Grand Traverse and other lighthouses are less than and hour. Traverse city is 45 minutes or so too, in case you want city lights.

Beautiful and Peaceful

This lake house is beautifully remodeled with a wonderful walk in shower and upgraded kitchen. The location on a private beach front road was peaceful and gorgeous. I loved waking up to the sunrise over the lake every day. The large family room facing the lake was full of windows to let in the sun. The deck offers a lot of space for enjoying the views as well. The house was perfect for my husband and I but there is definitely space for additional guests. I'd absolutely stay here again.

Amazing Property!

My family stayed here and we had a wonderful time! We spent the week fishing, boating, and relaxing. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the surroundings and enjoyed talking to the neighbors. Especially meeting the World War II veteran and listening to his stories. Overall this property lived up to all of the beautiful pictures and reviews. We look forward to staying here again.

Beautiful Property

My stay at this property was very relaxing! The home is beautiful and located on beautiful lake Leelanau. I have been going to this area most of my life and this home did not disappoint! There was plenty of room, the house was supplied with everything I could possibly need and then some. You could fish off the dock if so desired. The lake has a nice sandy bottom, great for swimming. Plus, it is centrally located making it easy to get to all the local towns etc. I would definitely recommend this property! Great communication with the owners.

It was a lovely older Lakehouse very clean and well-maintained. My wife and I had a wonderful time on this property! It meet every need we have. We both would love to stay at this property in the future. The only downfall of this trip was the fact that the mayflies were in bloom during the week.

The home is located off of the main road circling the lake which made it very quiet. When we were not biking and kayaking on beautiful lake Lelanau we spent most of the time in the family room facing the lake which had plenty of windows.

Great family vacation cottage!

This cottage exceeded our expectations in so many ways! The house shows with "pride in ownership", and the owners have taken great care to maintain and update their cottage. The cottage is very well stocked and the owners have thought of absolutely everything. The owners are delightful to work with and quickly responded to our questions. Our family appreciated the WiFi, smart TVs and movie channels in the evenings. The front deck of the cottage is perfect for morning coffee and dinners each evening. The beach and swimming area are very nice. Every night we had a fire in the fire pit right near the lake. The location of the property is a very short drive from Cedar which has a coffee shop, restaurant, and ice cream which we visited on more than one occasion. It is also a short drive to Leland/Fishtown which is such a cute little town for shopping and lunch. We have already rebooked for next year!

About the host

Hosted by Sherry or Warren Blazy, Owners

Host profile image
We are from Ohio. I have vacationed on Lake Leelanau since I was 2 years old. Currently we are retired and work as food safety auditors. My husband and I have enjoyed making this a very special get-away and a place for rest and relaxation.

Why they chose this property

This part of Michigan is heaven on earth, so much to see and do. As a girl I always vacationed in a family cottage on the other side of the lake, my father gave the cottage to my brother who eventually sold it. This Lake House is a dream come true.

What makes this property unique

The house was built in the '30s and brought across the lake towed by horses. When we bought the Lake House, we made the choice to 'gut it' down to the 2x4s and everything is now rebuilt like new and maintains the charm of the original building.
