Great house! Comfortable, wonderful layout, enough space for everyone.

Easy walk to downtown Leland, just a few miles from some great hiking trails, easy access to bike routes. Quick walk to several small beaches in Leland.

A great week in Leland

A well-appointed and well-located house. The key lockbox system was great, since we didn't need to keep track of who had the house keys! We very much enjoyed our stay.

Great Location

We had a wonderful week at 629 N. Main St. The home is beautiful, well organized, and handy with basic supplies provided. It's a short walk into Fishtown and North Beach. It was a lovely stay.

Quiet, secluded property just minutes walk from downtown Leland

Our family enjoyed our stay at this property which had everything we needed for our one week vacation. The house was clean and comfortable and the location was convenient. Access to the attached garage was a bonus - we were able to store our bikes and beach gear when we weren't using them. Hoping to return soon!

Bright space, close to town, great for group

This property is very well-suited for a larger group, with a bright and open central living room/kitchen, outdoor patio, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Interior all seems new and is well-appointed. Leland is a five minute walk or 1 minute drive. Overall a great place.

Beautiful Home in Lovely Leland

We had a wonderful stay in this comfortable home! It was very clean with new appliances and decorated nicely. The owner was quick to respond to questions and more than accommodating with changes and requests. Loved the outdoor space with a hammock, fire pit and ample outdoor dining area. Easy walk to North Beach, on Lake Michigan,and also to “Fishtown”. We would definitely stay again!

Awesome place, great communication with host

Lovely and well maintained property close to town. Easy walk to beach, even with little kids. Backyard was perfect size for them and we loved the layout of the bedrooms, so that our families each had their own nooks/private spaces. Greg, the host, was very responsive for the 1 time we needed to text. We have already recommended this location to several friends in the area. Loved it and made our summer!

Couples weekend getaway

Had a wonderful experience at this beautiful property! It was the perfect space for myself, husband & 3 other couples to have a relaxing weekend filled with fun! Check in process was a little difficult only because we didn’t realize that the key was in a lock box on the side of the garage. But overall great experience & great time! :) thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven!

Appreciate last minute considerations

I think we must have ousted the owner to have some r&r. We came with cleaning supplies- we had to clean the refrigerator before using it- previous renter or perhaps the cleaning crew did not think to clean out the frig. Rest of place was clean and was perfect for our stay. Sept8-12

Improve Property Management

This is a beautiful home within the perfect walking distance to Leland. The house perfectly accommodated our party of eight adult women (however, I recommend carpooling as the driveway is on the smaller side). I would not recommend this house for families with young children, as there is virtually no outdoor space to play. With that said, the management of this house is not worth the asking price. If I had seen the owner's rules prior to booking, I would not have booked. They need a complete rewrite. I respect rules. This is your home, and I am merely a guest. However, the rules were condescending and included far too much personal commentary. Multiple times, they referenced losing my security deposit, including full paragraphs in all-caps. They even let me know there are "spies" in the neighborhood, on guard to report my behavior. This made for an extremely paranoid and uncomfortable stay on behalf of our entire party, with the blinds closed for the duration of our stay. Additionally, the home was not cleaned properly prior to our arrival. Undoubtedly, we left the home cleaner than when we arrived because of the items we had to clean just to feel comfortable. Some examples include: 1. Dirty kitchen sponges 2. Dirty refrigerator & freezer 3. Ratty dish towels 4. Dirty dishes in dishwasher 5. Black, coarse hair in silverware drawer 6. Leaking Damprid bag in Master Closet 7. Disgusting bathroom fans 8. Outdoor patio that hadn't been swept/cleaned in quite some time Furthermore, the owner's rules state that each bathroom will be stocked with two rolls of toilet paper, and the kitchen will be stocked with one roll of paper towel. Upon arrival, only 1.5 rolls of toilet paper were provided for all three bathrooms, and no paper towel was provided. When I called the owner, i was polity, acting confused instead of upset. I am an adult woman, and the owner had the audacity to ask me if I was sure, and if I had checked the cabinets. After a conversation that was far too long for a simple issue, the owner was gracious enough to provide access to his locked owner's cabinet for paper products. I did appreciate this level of blind trust. It was my impression that the property owners live out of state, and there is very little oversight of the on-site management. Perhaps that is why there were so many unacceptable slips. However, when I return to Leland, I will select a different home.

About the host

Hosted by Greg Chapman

We have owned property in Leland for 20 years. Now in Kentucky, we enjoy getting away from the heat and humidity of Louisville in Summer. We take full advantage of boating, fishing, hiking, Pickleball, golf and winery touring. Our location just a five minute walk to the beach is wonderful.

Why they chose this property

Why Leland? I've never been anywhere that offers so much variety, all year 'round. It is unique. We first saw Leelanau County in 1997 on a family camping trip. After a while, we bought our first home here in the dead of winter. You can't be bored here, even in winter (Snow and Wineries make things interesting). Our "in town" location just pulls us out of the house to go walking everywhere. We enjoy an abundance of wildlife in our back yard. Deer, turkeys, fox, black and grey squirrels, birds, bobcats.

What makes this property unique

Our home is custom built and is a very short walk to beaches and Fishtown. The open floor plan is great for entertaining. The furniture and bedding are very comfortable and the house is great for relaxing, cooking and enjoying family and friends.
