Family gathering
We had a great stay at Serenity. Loved waking up to the sunrise over Lake Leelanau and sunset over Lake Michigan. The house was beautiful and comfortable with a smart layout for indoor and outdoor gathering. Quiet neighborhood but very convenient to get to town. I would definitely recommend.

Serenity gardens!
We had a wonderful week. What a fabulous house and amazing location. The house was perfect for our four generation family group. Our three year old grandson went out and picked raspberries for his breakfast every morning, and he loved climbing the ladder and playing the "Lego loft." My 93 year old father was grateful for the main floor bed and bath and the wonderful views in every direction. Everyone who stopped by marveled at the wonderful gardens and landscaping, and enjoyed the bees busily working the lavender plants. A few of the hardier souls climbed down to the beach (and back up!). We had a small problem, but Adam responded immediately, and it was fixed very soon after. We hated to leave -- what a beautiful place.

Beautiful home with incredible views
This is a great home, perched on a bluff with incredible views of lake Michigan to the west and Lake Leelanau to the East. Beautiful landscaping to match the amazing views. The house is perfect. It was very clean, the beds are great, the kitchen well-stocked and a great area to gather with the family, inside and outside. It is only a few minutes to downtown Leland and Vans Beach is a very short drive. We definitely will return!

4 generations of our family enjoy this property, and we are so grateful to share this wonderful with experience with you.

Why they chose this property

You have to see it to believe it. Truly, this property is incredible--a unique location in a beautiful county. We used to visit the Leelanau peninsula regularly and fell in love with the natural beauty of the area.

What makes this property unique

Leelanau County is home to people who choose to be here--artists, entrepreneurs, culinary experts, farmers and orchardists, wine-makers--successful people who are live here because they love it, too, and they give the area a unique culture. Locals are friendly and enjoy sharing their 'little piece of heaven on earth'. Despite being in a rural setting with unparalleled quiet and natural beauty, this property is near everything from National Park to golf courses to live entertainment to award-winning dining experiences.
