This was our 1st time staying at the Leland Lodge and found it to be “classically charming”. Upon arrival, we were met with a staff member who talked about the area highlights until the front desk person arrived to check us in. We were early for our check in, but they accommodated. “Your room is ready but the cookies are still baking.” Cookies? Yep. After checking in and heading to our SPOTLESS room, our cookies were delivered and did not disappoint. The room and hotel are spotless. Loved everything about our room and this hotel. The bed was comfortable, the room had a/c and more than accommodated the 4 of us. When I refer to “classically charming”, I’m meaning the atmosphere here. The employees and the hotel itself. I feel that the employees here love their jobs and the area. Everything is updated, yet kept its original charm. New tvs, but original wood decor. I would assume people who stayed here back in the 60s wouldn't find much difference to it now. I love that! Having coffee on the porch in the morning overlooking the golf course and getting a glimpse of Lake Lelanau just past the trees was so peaceful…heaven on earth. We did not get to try Bogey’s (the bar & grill downstairs) but will for sure next time. By the way, we were traveling with our kids (age 12, 11) and they loved the Murphy bunk beds! We will definitely stay here again!
Very impressed with this gem. Tucked away it’s stunning, friendly staff, eating options. Will be back again. Loved it.
Great service! Very clean, friendly, and beautiful surroundings. Will be back soon!
