About this property

Classic Cottage in the Heart of Leland

Welcome to Katie Connor Cottage in the Heart of Leland

This classic home, named after my first two grandchildren, is located on a tree lined street along Lake Michigan and is less than 1500 feet from everything the village has to offer. Once you arrive, you can park your car in the driveway and not need it for the remainder of your stay. Easily walk to sandy beaches, “the Mercantile”, stores, restaurants, coffee shops, the harbor and the quaint area along the river known as Fishtown. You are also only steps away from enjoying the beautiful sunsets over Lake Michigan that Leland is famous for.



KCC is a classic Leland home with an updated feel. The interior is bright and possesses all the conveniences you would need and expect. The modern look and design of this space gives you the perfect environment to relax and enjoy when you return from exploring the village. It has a full kitchen with all of the necessary items needed should you decide to stay home and cook during your stay. The furniture is new to the home and has been selected to help ensure both a comfortable and restful visit. A smart television and highspeed internet are provided for your streaming and gaming enjoyment. There is also a three-season front porch with two gathering areas to enjoy your morning coffee as well as the beautiful evening sky with drinks and refreshments. A wonderful way to end each day.

Great stay!

The location of the cottage was perfect! We loved being so close to Van’s beach, downtown Leland, and surrounding towns with many activities to do. There is a grocery store in walking distance as well as restaurants and shopping. Pat was a speedy communicator and swiftly addressed an issue we had with the front door. The place was very clean and tidy. We loved hanging out on the 3 season porch with the windows open. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The kids liked the path around the house as well as the front yard. Beds were comfy. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies and appliances. Use of the garage was great for our bikes and we appreciated the beach chairs that were provided. The kids room is small and close to the living room so it was a little tricky for our light sleeper if we were in the living room after kids were in bed. We hope to be back to KCC and enjoy the priceless sunsets Leland has to offer!

Beautiful house and perfect location

This is the perfect place for an up north vacation. The house is immaculate and equipped with anything you might need. The location is perfect for walking to the beach, the town of Leland, and exploring the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Pat and Mark were incredibly helpful and welcoming. On the drive back to New Jersey we were already discussing when we could come back!

Relaxing and charming cottage near Lake Michigan

We have been coming up to Leland for over a decade, and this property is one of the most charming we have ever stayed in. The attention to detail is excellent, and the owners are a true treasure. My husband and I joked that we didn't want to write a good review so we could keep this property our secret. The location is great-walkable to everything. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

Clean, Cozy, Walk to Van’s Beach

We loved staying here. The house is immaculate and every amenity you would look for is available. No expense was spared with quality either. Truly home away from home. Cooked several meals and had everything we needed. Enjoyed spending time having meals on the screened sun porch too, We loved walking to Leland and to Van’s beach. We also appreciated that it was more remote and quaint than staying somewhere like TC. We found it to be convenient to take little drives to get to all the great sights and activities. The hosts are just the sweetest, very helpful and responsive. Great coffee and food just blocks away. An easy, pleasant walk to shops. Plenty of good rock hounding on Van’s beach too. We even found some small pieces of Leland blue and petosky stones. Its a great rental. We would love to come back again. Highly recommend.

Perfect!

We had a wonderful time staying at this adorable house in the perfect location! The property is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and had literally everything you needed! It’s a very short walk to the beach and cute downtown Leland. Pat was a wonderful host and is the kindest person! We are already planning our return visit next summer. Thank you Pat for a fanatic vacation!!

KC Cottage Leland

We really enjoyed our stay at the KC Cottage. The location was a 5 minute walk to Lake Michigan beaches and to town. The cottage is very cute and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Pat and Mark were wonderful. They checked us in and showed us around the cottage and were very easy to communicate with. We look forward to a return vacation!
