South Main Street Cottage - Leland, Michigan - Saturday to Saturday

South Main Street Cottage sits on a quiet street at the edge of downtown Leland, one of the most charming villages on the Leelanau Peninsula, and South Beach is at the end of the road. Historic Fishtown, with its weathered fishing shanties, is a short walk, and Leland’s shops and restaurants are just as close.

Inside, the home pairs quality furnishings with plenty of room to spread out. Four bedrooms sleep eight adults comfortably. Three have king beds, including the master suite and a loft bedroom, and the middle room has a queen. Three full baths and a powder room mean no waiting your turn in the morning. The master suite has a tub, a separate shower and a generous closet. A Jack-and-Jill bath connects two bedrooms, and a third full bath is upstairs.

The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking for a crowd easy, whether that’s a big breakfast before the beach or whitefish from Fishtown at night. Share meals in the dining area, then head out to the back porch and deck, a favorite with past guests. Fire up the grill, open a bottle from a nearby winery and settle in for a long evening. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi and a washer take care of the practical side.

When you’re ready to explore, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a short drive away, with towering dunes, scenic drives and some of the clearest water in the Great Lakes. Wineries and tasting rooms line the country roads. Closer to home, Lake Leelanau and a public access point on the Leland River are both a short walk away, easy spots to launch a kayak or watch the boats. Traverse City’s airport is about 45 minutes by car.
