About the host
Hosted by Sara Cavanaugh
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.
