About this property

2025 July & August dates available - Clean, gorgeous 5 bedroom property in town!

First and foremost, we'd like to assure guests that our cottage is cleaned professionally and diligently between bookings. ALL surfaces are cleaned with bleach where applicable or antiviral/antibacterial disinfectants. Your safety is our priority and we take these measures very seriously. Now, onto the fun stuff...

Walk To Everything From This Stunning New Home On A Quiet Street.

This is our newly completed family getaway, a home to make the time we spend in Leland comfortable, happy and memorable. It's bright, well appointed and beautiful. We love how it turned out and since we can't be there all the time, we are renting it on a very limited basis to people who will treat it as well as we do.

The home has 10 foot ceilings on main floor, and 9 foot ceilings on the second floor and finished basement. The home is 3,600 SF with three bedrooms on the second floor and two bedrooms on the basement level. There are quality finishes throughout. Hardwood maple floors, big closets, huge pantry, study alcove, beautiful kitchen, cast iron claw foot tub, WiFi, Carrera marble countertops in all bathrooms, quartz in the kitchen, excellent mattresses, and the yard is beautifully landscaped.

Our house is a block and half from access to Lake Leelanau and a 5 minute bike ride to Lake Michigan.

Leland is a magical place which we've been lucky enough to enjoy since childhood. The stunning natural beauty of the lakes, the sand-dunes, and the way the air feels... you have no choice but to relax and slip into a slower pace. It's a carefree place, an idyllic slice of Americana that is hard to find these days. Kids love that they leave on their bikes and can choose to go to several beaches on Lake Michigan or Lake Leelanau, hang out with friends at the ice cream shop or old fashioned candy stores, get whatever food they need at the Merc and experience independence in a safe place.

We love that we can walk or ride our bikes to dinner, coffee shops, beaches, bookstore or library, etc and then come back to relax in our beautiful home, after watching the sunset over Lake Michigan, of course. Deciding which lake to visit may be the hardest decision you have to make in Leland.

The surrounding area is known as "the land of delight". A bucolic countryside with abundant farmland, it's positioned against the almost unreal blue of Lake Michigan with its white sand beaches. With a growing food and wine scene, there's plenty to do if you're tired of the beach. There are art festivals, wine festivals, music festivals, book festivals galore. Farmers markets abound on different days in different towns. Northport and Suttons Bay are the towns closest to Leland and fun trips. Interlochen Performing Arts School is 40 minutes away.

This area has something for everyone, year round.

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.

Lovely Home in Leland

Clean, well appointed and beautifully decorated home. This home is spacious and cozy. We came here with 3 other couples to golf, canoe, visit some wineries, enjoy the Lake Michigan shore and just relax. We had a great time and would definitely come back to this property in the future.

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

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 ....

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!

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.

Walk to everything! Best location and best house to rent in Leland!

If you're thinking about booking a house in Leland, this is the place! I can't say enough about how wonderful this house was. Fully stocked kitchen, fantastic location (walkable to everything), enough space for our group, and even a local friend of ours who dropped by to pick me up was impressed with how beautiful the house was. It was everything we could have wanted in a rental. Charissa + Joe sent us a text when we arrived to check in and make sure we had everything we needed which was thoughtful of them. This is the house for you!

If you want to stay in Leland, this is the place to stay. This is our 2nd time renting this home. We had a great week last time and this time as well. Highly recommend this home.

About the host

Hosted by Charissa & Joe

Host profile image
Our family is thrilled to share our beautiful new home with you. Leland is an incredibly special place to us and we look forward to continuing to build memories here over the years. We have a young family and have found that spending time in Leland is an amazing way to bring everyone together - from the beach to boating to walking the docks at Fishtown, there's always something magical to do in Leland.

Why they chose this property

This home is located in an ideal location. It is close enough to Fishtown so that you can walk, yet it also feels private and tucked away in a quiet corner of town. It is beautifully appointed and doesn't feel like a rental, it feels like home.

What makes this property unique

The house is a modern cottage with craftsman touches. It has a fenced in back yard, and is located on a quiet street. With a large front porch where you can sit and relax, you'll be hard pressed to see more than 1 car every few minutes. The back porch is private and large enough for a few people to sit outside and enjoy the birds and gorgeous cedar trees.

The main floor consists of a large, open floor-plan with plentiful natural light that is perfect for family time, giving everyone enough room to spread their wings. The bedrooms upstairs are comfortable and inviting. The master bath has a claw-foot tub to enjoy at the end of the day. The lower level has a den with TV, perfect for a play area for the kids, and 2 bedrooms. Please note the fireplace is NOT available for use by renters.

There is a little known public access dock for Lake Leelanau that is a 1 minute walk from the house. If you feel like walking 30 seconds further, there's another hidden access dock. And then another a few more blocks down. The streets in this area are perfect for bike rides.

We recently purchased a whole-house generator to serve as a back-up power source in the event of a storm taking out the town's power, which has been known to happen a handful of times a year throughout different seasons.
