This rustic, shingle-sided cottage is one of the last of its kind in Leland. The beach is literally out the back door and Lake Michigan is a constant presence. Nearly all the rooms, including both the dining room and the deck where we take our meals, overlook it. No matter the weather, you'll hear the waves and sometimes the wind in the surrounding pines.
With five bedrooms — three in the main house and two in "the annex" just across the deck from the main house — as many as 8 adults can sleep comfortably. There are two-and-a-half baths, with a clawfoot tub in the main house and a shower in the annex. There are canoes, kayaks and bicycles for your use and we provide linen and towels, so there’s no need to bring those.
Wonderful week at Pineacres! We loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves!
I can’t think of a more perfect setting for a vacation.
Another wonderful week at a cottage on Lake Michigan with deep family connections. We look forward every year to this chance to unwind and recenter ourselves. The cottage is a perfect snapshot of life 50+ years ago. Great location and easy access to the beach.
Simply stated, Pineacres is the best kept secret on VRBO!!!
The view from the beach at Pineacres is magical: Lake Michigan in all its moods, Pyramid Point and Sleeping Bear Dunes to the south, North and South Manitou directly west, and the village of Leland to the north. I carry it with me all year long.
It gets better every year, my family says. They are so right! This year was devoted to the lake: learning how to sail the sunfish, canoeing up to Leland for ice cream, taking the little ones out in the rowboat, trying out the kayaks, jumping the waves, and, of course, watching the sunsets and seeing the light slowly fading in the sky until darkness came. A special bonus: Fourth of July fireworks. A complete necessity: walking the beach to find just that perfect stone to add to our collection. We can't wait till next time.
Our family had a wonderful time amidst the precious family heirlooms and pines at the rustic Pineacres cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed canoeing and kayaking mighty Lake MI while searching for Petoskey stones and Leland Blues. A treasure for sure!!
We embraced the quiet that came with no internet or television; and as a result rediscovered the simple pleasures of reading, listening to music or just being. It was everything, and so much more, than we had hoped. Pineacres is a gem, and we are so grateful to Mandy for saying yes and retaining all of it's original charm and beauty.
Although we didn't luck out with June weather, we did luck out with this magical cabin on the lake. The views of the lake are incredible, and the beach access is so special (the beach is huge this year!). The cabin itself is rustic and cozy, and you can tell immediately upon walking in how well-loved and what a special place it is. We stayed cozy and warm using the wonderful fireplace, and our kids absolutely loved reading the children's books around the cabin. We hope to return to enjoy more beach time and more deck dinners during better weather. Thank you for sharing your wonderful get-away with our family!
We had extreme wind and rain and dis not see the sun until our last day! Yet the cottage stayed cozy, the two fireplaces burnt wood beautifully and we asked for and got two extra deliveries of wood in the one week we were there! Kitchen was impeccably appointed and we cooked large family meals easily. Lots of extra blankets and comforters, enough to keep us all warm, and the two space heaters provided were perfect.
Have been visiting the Leland area for the past 12 years and have been coming to this home for the past 3 years. The most beautiful property with amazing sunsets - never disappoints. ❤️
Falling asleep to waves crashing in, cuddling under comforters, and making family meals together are good reasons to stay. However, don’t plan on modern day conveniences, but that’s the charm of it. Engage your pioneer spirit and be prepared for cold and warm days and nights depending on the time of year. June and September weather can be iffy, but a good time without lots of tourists in the towns.
Pineacres is a piece of magic from the past—a simple summer cottage whose authenticity has been preserved over the last century. The smell of pines, the sound of waves on the beach. It is a great place to re-center and spend time with family.
Historic Pineacres is like no other place.
Loved this place and would go back every year!
Our family--three generations--was lucky enough to spend another week at Pineacres this summer. It was wonderful to be back at our cottage, for our grandchildren to go out in the rowboat or canoes with their aunt and uncle, to walk on the beach to Leland for ice cream, to treat ourselves to fresh lake trout from Carlson's, to hear the wind in the pines and the waves on the lake, to see one sunset after another, to play cribbage, read books, and build sand castles. Heaven. We are already looking forward to being together next year. In fact, I wish I were there now!
Another beautiful, relaxing week at Pineacres!! Such a great spot—close to town and right on the beach! The sunsets are to die for and we love the old fashioned charm! Thanks again sharing your piece of Heaven!
Step back in time with this 120 historic cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan. Come prepared for both cold and hot weather, in Michigan it can change on a dime. Up North Michigan is always beautiful no matter what the weather. The location is perfect, a short walk to town or down the steps to the lake.
We have vacationed at Pine Acres for quite a few summers. The view and sunset are absolutely breathtaking!! The path to the beach is clear because of the owners installing wood steps all the way down to the beach. You can see the sunset from the bedroom windows. It is truly a magical place!
Our family of 9 (7 kids ranging from 20-12) enjoyed a wonderful week at this quaint historic cottage. We slowed way down enjoyed walking to Leland, playing on the beach, games at night and beautiful sunsets . Thank you for sharing this piece of heaven with our family .
