Michigan Getaway

Such a treat to stay at this quaint cottage loft apt We flew in for a wedding in the area and the loft was absolutely perfect . Even my extended family was oohing and aaahing over it So grateful for the getaway and loved the outdoors, the weather, and the quaintness, but coming home to the cottage at night was a delight !!

Perfectly Located Charmer

Loved this thoughtfully appointed charmer in a great location. Great base for not only Leland itself but also for visiting all of the various charming towns around the area. Great decor, cozy bed, spacious bath, kitchenette - everything we could want in the unit itself. Highly recommend.

Excellent option for growing family!

This was the perfect space for my husband, newborn, and me. Wanting a little more space and privacy with a baby, we opted to find our own place in Leland instead of staying with family. This was the right amount of space and great location.

Our stay was amazing! All the amenities you could need were provided. Perfect location and spot for exploring. We will be back for sure! Only negative was the door lock was very finicky and hard to open with the key at times.

Cozy Apartment

This is a perfect spot for a couple’s getaway. It’s close walking distance to downtown Leland and Van’s beach. The architecture of this loft is jaw dropping beautiful. The bed is so comfortable and the bathroom is very modern. There is only a microwave for cooking, so come prepared to eat out or to cook lite. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Superb!

This lovely studio apartment is well-located. It’s an easy stroll into town, the docks and the beach. It is also close to Sleeping Bear National Park. The apartment is very clean, beautifully furnished and manages to be spacious and cozy simultaneously. Communication with owner is excellent. Also, we noted upon arrival that housekeeping did a wonderful job of thoughtfully placing items and folding linens/towels. High quality all around.

Great location - 2 blocks from the Merc, right on Main St. The Loft is perfect for a couple (or single) looking for quiet space but close to everything in Leland.

Cozy studio with great location

Studio apartment had everything we needed for our stay. Nice kitchenette, large walk-in shower and space to relax. Close enough to walk to Leland shopping, dining, two beaches. It's convenient to make day trips to wineries, Sutton's Bay, Glen Arbor and more. Kelly was very thoughtful with leaving snacks, water and toiletries in case you needed something. Responded with replies to couple of questions before we came very quickly. We would definitely come back to The Nest again.
