First and foremost, we'd like to assure guests that our cottage is cleaned professionally and diligently between bookings. The cottage is vacant for a minimum of 8 hours between guests, and 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.
