My husband and I are so grateful to have been able to spend a week in this cozy, peaceful, and clearly cherished cottage on beautiful Lake Michigan. I just wish we could have brought our grandchildren! They would have loved exploring in the woods, hunting for rocks on the beach, and curling up with a book in one of the many little nooks. Thank you, Mandy, for preserving the character and history of the type of cottage I remember visiting as a child. It was like stepping back in time in the most delightful way!

Another lovely week at Pineacres. In early June lilacs were in bloom, fresh leaves on the trees and prior to the arrival of tourists. Perfect.

Pineacres

Another wonderful week at a cottage on Lake Michigan with deep family connections. We look forward every year to this chance to unwind and recenter ourselves. The cottage is a perfect snapshot of life 50+ years ago. Great location and easy access to the beach.

Pineacres memories on Lake MI

Our family had a wonderful time amidst the precious family heirlooms and pines at the rustic Pineacres cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed canoeing and kayaking mighty Lake MI while searching for Petoskey stones and Leland Blues. A treasure for sure!!

a lovely September week at Pineacres

We hade another great week, with beautiful balmy weather. Time on the beach, walking into town, the pleasant post-Labor Day time with fewer people in Leland. The cottage is always a great touchstone to return to--authentically summer cottage, the Leland of my childhood.

For a Lake Michigan beach property, there is much to enjoy: lake view, private beach, rustic character, sleeps a dozen if needed, wonderful wooded location, lots of quiet, wonderful deck with lake views, easy beach walk to Fishtown, excellent bikes for bikers. We happened to have some chilly and damp weather which impacted our enjoyment of the property. Great place to unplug in the warmer weather.

We keep coming back to Pineacres: the coziest cottage, the most beautiful beach, the best location, the greatest place to be with family and friends. No TV, no internet. Just conversation, sun and sand, fresh fish from Carlson's in Leland, views of the Manitous and Pyramid Point, and above all: a week with Lake Michigan in all her many moods. The very best.

Peace and refreshment

The perfect place to spend time with friends and family. Kayaking, swimming, collecting even more rocks, walking to Leland for ice cream, savoring lake trout from Carlson's, playing games, reading a book from the cottage collection, and just sitting on the beach anticipating another beautiful sunset, framed by the Manitous and Pyramid Point. Every year we remember how very lucky we are to be there.

The lake, the beautiful lake

The view from the beach at Pineacres is magical: Lake Michigan in all its moods, Pyramid Point and Sleeping Bear Dunes to the south, North and South Manitou directly west, and the village of Leland to the north. I carry it with me all year long.

Paradise!

We had a wonderful week at Pineacres--it's a perfect spot right on the beach, up high on a sand dune with gorgeous views from every room! We had dinners on the deck every night, capped off with sunsets on the beach. We loved using the bikes, kayaks and canoe! Our 6 year old granddaughter said it best when I was drying off our black lab (for the 15th time that day), I said, "She loves this place" and our granddaughter said, "So do I!"
