The home was perfectly located to the winery where our son was getting married, as well as to other wineries, attractions and eateries. The home is very clean and homey. We felt right at home. Our hosts provided everything we could have imagined needing and more, even providing goodies for our arrival. We loved it and will definitely stay again. Thank you to our hosts!
Absolutely excellent weekend. The property manager met us on arrival to welcome us snd explained how to use the door lock. He also let us know to contact him immediately with any questions.
The house was very clean, warm cookies and a welcome note were on the dining room table. There were plenty of towels on the bathrooms for me and my family.
The accommodations were just as they were advertised. Our hosts, Keith & Sherry, were welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay at the Eagle Ranch again.
Lovely home in a quiet rural area. Close to hiking trails, Leland, Northport and Sutton’s Bay. Very private, plenty of room for 6. Keith and Shelley were wonderful hosts. Would stay there again
We come to visit my dad in Northport every year and this place was perfect for us! We were close to the surrounding towns to go out to lunch or dinner, but also had all the comforts of home and enjoyed several home cooked meals too. The home was well stocked with everything you need before that first shopping trip. We will stay here again as the hosts were very accommodating and friendly.
We enjoyed our stay. Very spacious home with everything we needed for our visit to Northport and the surrounding areas. Very quiet and relaxing area. Would recommend renting and hope to get back again soon.
Keith and Sherry are excellent hosts. All our needs were anticipated and over achieved! The house is great and well appointed. The extra touches of fresh milk, cereal a bottle of wine and delicious homemade cookies were so appreciated! The house was very clean and just as described! If we're able to visit the area again, we would certainly love to stay here again!
Very clean living space with a well-stocked kitchen. Thoughtful books, toys, and game selection for kids. Beautiful grounds with a lovely private patio and grill area. Great location!
Our family had the most lovely stay. Charming all around. The owners were very kind and responsive. the property was an oasis but pretty close to nearby towns (Suttons Bay, Leeland), wineries, restaurants. Lovely front and back outdoor space. Spacious den for lounging. All the kitchen items you need. Would definitely come back.
Our family truly enjoyed staying at eagle ranch. The entire house was better than expected. The kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice. Our kids had a good time making smores over the firepit at night (firewood available). Overall, we had a wonderful vacation. We hope to visit again. Thanks!
We had a wonderful stay. The home was clean,cozy and so comfortable! The location was excellent as we were there for wine tasting and shopping.
We will be back 😊
I have stayed at many rental homes and have never had hospitality even close to this! The little extras sprinkles throughout the kitchen just added to the beautiful, clean home. Great location for exploring Northern Michigan.
We were so happy with our stay! This place truly is a home away from home with everything you’d need! The location is perfect and the rooms are spacious and clean easily a family vacation weekend or couple only retreat! Very private and peaceful homemade cookies and a bottle of wine were waiting for us on arrival which was a nice touch! Definitely recommend
Keith and Sherry were awesome hosts! From the homemade cookies and milk, bottle of wine, coffee and all the little things made you feel they’re hospitality. This rental is very private yet close to all there is to see and do on the Leelanau Peninsula. We would not hesitate to rent again the Eagle Ranch.
My husband and I went on a short vacation with two other couples. The home is exactly as pictured. We were able to check-in quickly with absolutely no issues. The home was very welcoming, clean and had everything we needed. The host and hostess were great, friendly, informative with grocery stores and restaurant recommendations and had wood ready for a backyard fire. They indicated they were available any time, but were also going to respect our privacy....and they did! We loved their rental and highly recommend it!
This place was so cute and clean. It was perfect for our needs. The kind touches (cookies, milk, cereal, wine) were much appreciated and unexpected. I will absolutely check to see if this place is available the next time I visit the area. Outstanding!

Why they chose this property
It is unique in that it is two ranch houses joined and separated by a garage. It affords us the opportunity to offer a complete 3 BR, 2 bath home entirely for the use of our guests with full privacy. We see our role as being here to welcome you when possible, assist with questions and do whatever is necessary to ensure your comfort and enjoyment, and yet be mostly invisible. Every guest we have had, has been pleased with all aspects of our home. The niggling problem we had at times with WIFI has been solved with all new equipment. We hire a professional cleaner to attend to ensuring that you enter a sanitized home upon arrival.
What makes this property unique
Our central location places us almost equal distance to Leland, Northport, Lake Leelanau, and Suttons Bay. We are in the midst of orchards and vineyards, quick drive to 24 wineries and several wedding venues. Good restaurants reopening for the summer rush. Beaches in each of nearby towns. Our guest guide will help you find the fun, food or drink you seek. Our rates are tailored to be cost effective for families.
