About this cottage rental

One of the most unique rental properties right on the river in Leland's Historic Fishtown, this century old fishing shanty was home to one of the many fishing family businesses that occupied the village for decades. Step out on the dock to watch the fishing boats and the Manitou Island Transit ferry coming and going from the Leland River. Observe the visitors on the other side of the river, meandering through Fishtown's "shanty" shops. Take a short walk to explore beautiful, expansive beaches of Lake Michigan and all the restaurants and shops in Leland, including Carlson's fishery, where you can get fresh caught Great Lakes fish. Remodeled by the Carlson family in 2000, and newly renovated this year after sustaining damage from high water, this comfortable, well furnished, two bedroom, two bathroom shanty with a generous deck facing Lake Michigan, can sleep 6-8 people. This unique opportunity to spend a week in a one-of-a-kind property is offered through The Fishtown Preservation Society. If you are looking for an unforgettable vacation experience, this is it!

The pictures online do not do this property justice! It was perfect for a weekend getaway with my husband. The cabin had everything we needed and more. Check in and check out were seamless.

The charm of Leland in the Fall at this place was like something out of this world! The home is so charming, cozy and perfectly appointed it is hard to leave! When you do, behind the home is a beautiful beach and in front is the picturesque Leland river. We arrived on a rainy night, had delicious chowder at the cove. Other days we visited wineries, hiked trails and took in the fall vibes. We stayed in and cooked because it was so fun to be in our property overlooking Leland. Dog-friendly, and our two had the best time on walks through town and on the beach. Mary Lou was wonderful!

Very cute and pleasant. This unique location is a great place for anyone visiting the area. Check out at 10am was a bit early for us. We felt rushed in the morning. It would have been nice to check out at noon after all the local shops were open. This way we could have shopped before leaving Fish Town. We will be back for sure.

This place is amazing and well stocked! You can walk to restaurants for every meal if you’d like to but it also has everything you need to stay right there and cook. I wouldn’t recommend making a lot plans if you book this incredible shanty because you won’t want to leave!

Our stay over Labor Day 2023 was fantastic! The property is incredibly unique and fun. Location is great with lots to do. The beach is just steps away and the sunsets were gorgeous! Plenty of space for our family of 4. Kitchen was well stocked for anything you may need to cook and beds were comfortable!

We have been coming to this area for over 20 years. I love Leland, and being able to stay in the heart of Fish Town was fabulous. The property was exactly as expected. We loved walking everywhere in town. Also to be able to walk out the door and take a path to the beach is divine. Love places that allow pets. We had our year old golden retriever along, he loved it too. Really appreciate Mary Lou's concern for us as the winds blew and the water rolled. We stayed safe and dry.
