The charming Leland Lakefront Cottage is a beautiful authentic private summer residence in the historic town of Leland. An "up north" Michigan experience in Leelanau County truly from a bygone era of summers spent on the shore of refreshing Lake Michigan enjoying breezes off the lake while watching a lovely sunset. The cottage Accommodates 9 guests - with 4 generously sized bedrooms, one small bedroom and 3 bathroom plus post beach shower on the lower level to rinse sandy beach bodies and feet.

Large picture windows in the living and dining area overlooking Lake Michigan and the view of the Manitou Islands.

Sandy Lake Michigan beach access out the back door. Located just south of the Leland Harbor to watch the boats coming and going throughout the day. Access to 2 large outdoor decks and seating areas. Kayaks available on site-bring life jackets. Linens and towels provided. Housekeeping included post visit. Parking for 3-4 vehicles-no boats or other vehicles.

Lovely grounds, flowers, and landscaping in a private wooded setting, quiet, serene yet close to all Leland has to offer (walking or biking distance to grocery, shops, restaurants).

About the host

Hosted by Sara Cavanaugh

Host profile image
My name is Sara Cavanaugh and I'm a third generation Leland summer kid. My grandfather, Paul Hancock bought the Hancock cottage in 1934. We have been enjoying our summers in Leland since 1934. Leland is near and dear to us and we have preserved the cottage in the yesterday era but still having modern amenities. Most of the furniture in the bedrooms are original to the home. We are right on the beach with spectacular views of North and South Manitou Island. The cottage is in the heart of Leland but in a very private wooded area. You can just park your car for the week and walk to Leland and enjoy Fishtown and the cute shops.
