We had a great stay here. Two families (with 6 kids ages 7-13) shared the home comfortably, and it was really nice to have 3.5 bathrooms. We loved how new/updated all the amenities are, and the house’s proximity to downtown Leland was a great perk. The neighborhood is very quiet - we enjoyed peaceful walks around the neighborhood and reading on the front porch. We had an issue with the garbage disposal, and the hosts we super responsive and had a handyman resolve the issue promptly. We had a wonderful week and would absolutely stay here again!

Great stay for our extended weekend event

This home was a perfect match for our use over an extended weekend. It provided a home base to stay four our daughter’s wedding in the area. The home was very clean and fresh. The hosts, Joe and Charissa, were very quick in their responses to our questions. I highly recommend this location for a memorable visit to the Leland, Michigan area!

MI Winter Getaway

The house was beautiful and set-up very well for our group of 9 adults to enjoy family time, games/puzzles and conversation. The area was scenic, quaint and nice for walks. The kitchen was big and open allowing good flow to divide and conquer on the various kitchen tasks. The property owners were very nice and responsive.

Great place to stay!

This home is beautifully appointed with a well equipped kitchen, is within walking distance to town and a couple of small beaches. Many sites and activities are a short drive away. We would highly recommend staying here. While not a huge issue, but something to be aware of, we were unable to log into our personal Direct TV and Xfinity accounts. They weren’t compatible with the ROKU system.

DID WE LOVE OUR STAY? YOU BETCHA!

Phenomenal home only matched by phemomenal owners. Great location with easy walk/bike to town and Lake Michigan (10-15 mins) or 2 minute walk to jump in gorgeous Lake Leelanau. Modern home with all the comforts anyone would need. And the owners, Charissa and Joe, are ready, willing and able to answer all your perplexing questions like, Will you PLEASE sell your home to me?!!! We spent two glorious weeks with 6 other adults and not only was there plenty of room there was plenty of privacy, too. Looking forward to next time, and the time after that, and after that ....

The house and location were perfect for exploring the Leelanau Peninsula and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Our extended family of 9 (3 generations) spent the week in Leland in July. The kitchen was very well appointed - one of the best I've rented. We were able to make many family meals with groceries from the Mercantile fresh fish from Carlson's. The kids loved swimming in Lake Leelanau from the neighborhood dock a block away and spent many afternoons playing soccer in the flat, grassy backyard. We are already planning our next trip!

Friends staycation

A small group of 4 couples all from San Antonio TX stayed in this fabulous house for 11 days and had the most incredible time!! The house was immaculate when we arrived and was more than we expected. We rented bikes from a bike shop in Sutton’s bay and rode everywhere! The Leland Lodge is a short trip from house and we did multiple days of drinks there and one fun dinner. The kitchen was wonderfully equipped so we did all but two dinners in!!! We would all come back again and stay in this fab house!!! Thank you thank you for sharing!!! Shannon

Gorgeous property

This house helped make Leland even more magical than it already is. Immaculate, beautiful, well equipped cottage located at the end of a quiet street. Access to a public dock but it feels private as no more than 5 other people were ever there. A great house for kids as there is a fenced in beautifully landscaped backyard. We loved our stay & the owners were a pleasure to work with! We hope to come back to this house for years to come!
