Amazing location
Great spot. Right on Lake Michigan. The beach is nice and sandy. Lots of walking trails nearby. Short walk to downtown Leland. The house is great for a large family. Definitely would come back. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, classic cottage with modern amenities
Look no further! I've looked at every rental cottage in Leland and this is by far the nicest cottage available to rent. It has classic charm, along with every modern amenity. Unlike other classic cottage rentals in Leland, which tend to be dark, tired and depressing, this cottage has beautiful, light, clean decor; a beautiful, modern kitchen; and great bathrooms. Another plus is that it's on a gorgeous, private beach...far away from very crowded South Beach.
