Overall grandkids loved the location, they can walk to everything. beach was so close by. Can't go wrong with the location,
We had a wonderful stay at the Red House!
The location was perfect: Very quick walk to Van’s beach made it convenient for little kids.
The small local grocery had everything we needed. All the cute Fishtown shops and activities were easy to access.
The house itself was clean and updated. Loved the washer/ dryer and the grill. The owners were kind and easy to communicate with.
Thanks for letting us share your home!

Great location and communication!
This was a perfect “up north” cottage for our stay (three adults). Plenty of space to feel comfortable and three bathrooms! The location is great (just a short walk to restaurants, etc.) and the hosts (offsite) were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed and were available if there were any problems (there weren’t). There is a second, separate unit on the same property but the entrances are completely separate so there is no awkward ‘shared space’. Great stay. Thanks, hosts!!!

Time Stands Still
This Cottage was charming and peaceful, tastefully decorated with a fully equipped kitchen, and the front porch with the white wicker furniture for morning coffee makes one sit a while longer!! The cottage is also close to town and Van's beach, all within walking distance. I will be back again and again!!!

Little Red House Tradition
We were lucky enough to book this adorable house pretty last minute, after returning from northern Michigan, and eager to come back with our boys. The host made check in and out easy and seamless. The place was exactly as described, and they even left a gift for us to enjoy in town. I hate to rave about this house in Leland because I don’t want others to find it. You and your family will make this place a tradition year after year and we are so thankful they shared this home with us.
We did not prepare any meals inside the home, as we brought snacks and ate breakfast inside the house. you could easily prepare meals for a night in. the guest house, even though close by and not occupied with members with our family was not disruptive and those who stayed in it were friendly and courteous.
Plenty of space to chill. Work. Read. All questions sent to the hosts were answered quickly.
We look forward to returning ☺️

Charming Quaint Cottage in A+ Location!
We recently stayed at this adorable cottage over the Fourth of July. The details of the house are super charming. It’s an older home but has been updated thoughtfully and kept well. The backyard has an updated deck with a small grassy area where my kids loved to play. The front yard is fenced in and another perfect spot for the kids to play. Tia and George were readily available to answer any questions and left us such a kind welcome. Location cannot be beat- my 2 and 4 year old could walk with me to town and the beach which made getting around a breeze. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!!

cozy home with the bells and whistles
For starters, the home was equip with exactly what we needed, from body wash to luxury linens, to comfortable towels, and so many comfy spots to chill. We slept like babies in the welcoming, cozy beds…
The proximity to everything is CLUTCH. We walked to Mad Hatter and Lelenau Coffee Co for breakfast each morning, Picnic and Harbor House for ice cream, and so many options to choose from for dinner. Vans beach is right down the block, super clean and spacious.
The front porch gets plenty of warm sun in the morning, and being surrounded by the variety of perennials is quite calming for someone looking to really relax. The back deck is quiet and peaceful with a table and chairs and a hammock to read in.
Everything was thought of and provided for in this home. Did I mention I randomly needed a can opener and scissors, and -what do ya know- both in the same drawer in the kitchen.
We will definitely be returning because there’s so much to do in Leland!

Quaint Cottage on Main Street Close to Town
My husband and I had the best ever fall color tour last weekend. Don't remember any late October weekends where we had blue skies and temps in the 60s and 70s. The house is literally two blocks away and across the bridge from all the action. Great shopping and dining. We got to walk everywhere! Even rockhounding barefoot! We found lots of Petoskey stones! Hosts were very attentive and checked in on us to make sure we weren't missing anything. If you are looking for a quaint little house close to town look no further!

Relaxing Fall Getaway
Beautiful property located in the quaint town of Leland. The fall colors, local food and wine made for an enjoyable trip.
The hosts were so kind and the house was cozy and inviting. Everything one could ask for including walking distance to the beach and downtown. Highly recommend this lovely house and destination.
