Pearl cottage is the best!

I’m a life long summer resident of Leland and happen to know the owners of this incredible property. This was the first time I’d been in and cannot rate it high enough—EVERYTHING you need for a great vacation is provided. The house is spotless and the location is without peer—-a block to center of town, 2 or 3 blocks to the lakes and to the river. What a great property!

Charming house in the heart of Leland

Pearl House is charmingly decorated and located within easy walking distance of everything in the Lake Michigan tourist town of Leland, MI. The house was clean and well-equipped and worked well for our party of 6 adults and 2 toddlers. There are plenty of spaces for relaxing both in and out of the house, from a sun porch (very warm when the sun shines) to a comfortable living room, to a welcoming family room that includes a game/card table for the grownups and a small table perfectly sized for our granddaughters. Outside, there are numerous Adirondack chairs for gathering in fine weather. The town of Leland itself is charming with a number of eateries, though a few of them were already closed for the season in early October, galleries (ceramics and pottery seem to be big in the area), and other touristy shops. We particularly enjoyed watching enormous King salmon leaping several feet out of the water trying to jump the dam on the Leelanau River from the wharf in Fishtown (the old, historic district down by the harbor). The town was surprisingly popular on Saturday afternoon even in October; it was pleasant to be able to watch the crowds go by from the house after spending the morning down at Sleeping Bear Dunes. (Other highly recommended activities we enjoyed were a bicycle winery tour from a bike shop in Sutton's Bay and a visit to Leelanau State Park at the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula). Overall, it was pricey but very much enjoyed by all our family.

Leland Gem for a Family Vacation Getaway!

Melissa & Bryan's "Pearl" cottage in the heart of Leland is nothing short of a home away from home --- cozy, comfortable and clean! Decor was welcoming, the hosts were incredibly gracious and the even the neighbors were helpful & friendly. Perfect location to take in all that this wonderful area has to offer (Fishtown, hiking, biking, golf, farm-to-table dining, vineyards, beaches, shopping). We're already dreaming about our return.
