Classic Cottage in the Heart of Leland

Our six-night stay in this adorable cottage was so comfortable, thanks to how clean and well-equipped it was. The location is perfect, close to town and the beach.

We had a wonderful experience staying at the Katie Conner Cottage — it truly felt like a home away from home. The location is ideal: just two short blocks from Van’s Beach and less than a five-minute walk to Historic Fishtown. It couldn’t be more convenient for exploring all that Leland has to offer.The cottage itself was lovely — spotlessly clean and incredibly well-appointed. We especially enjoyed spending time on the front porch, where we had breakfasts, dinners, and played games as a family. The kitchen had everything we needed (and more), and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like beach towels and chairs, which made our beach days effortless.There was plenty of space for outdoor fun; we played baseball in the yard and were able to store our bikes, golf clubs, and other gear in the garage — a huge plus.Pat and Mark were wonderful hosts. They met us at the house to show us around and welcomed us with a bottle of wine and delicious chocolate-covered cherries — such a warm and personal touch.We honestly can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. This cottage checked every box for us, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. We would very highly recommend the Katie Conner Cottage to anyone planning a visit to Leland.

We love the cottage , clean well equipped and wonderful location. Owners are terrific, coming back next year

The cottage was perfect for our family of 4! The location is great, we didn’t need a car at all. It is also well appointed for anything you might need for a stay in Leland.We had a great stay and can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful week long stay at the cottage. Location is ideal and the cottage roomy, comfortable, and immaculately clean. Our hosts were super friendly and really made our stay feel special. Hope to return, a great place to enjoy all that Leelanau and northern Michigan has to offer.

Wonderful place and owners , can’t think of a better place to stay

One of our best stays ever! Beautiful house, perfect location, and fantastic host!

We loved our stay at this cottage! It’s our second time and won’t be the last! So close to everything and it’s just so charming! Pat is a wonderful host, thanks for everything Pat and Mark!

The location of the cottage was perfect! We loved being so close to Van’s beach, downtown Leland, and surrounding towns with many activities to do. There is a grocery store in walking distance as well as restaurants and shopping. Pat was a speedy communicator and swiftly addressed an issue we had with the front door. The place was very clean and tidy. We loved hanging out on the 3 season porch with the windows open. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The kids liked the path around the house as well as the front yard. Beds were comfy. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies and appliances. Use of the garage was great for our bikes and we appreciated the beach chairs that were provided. The kids room is small and close to the living room so it was a little tricky for our light sleeper if we were in the living room after kids were in bed. We hope to be back to KCC and enjoy the priceless sunsets Leland has to offer!

This is the perfect place for an up north vacation. The house is immaculate and equipped with anything you might need. The location is perfect for walking to the beach, the town of Leland, and exploring the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Pat and Mark were incredibly helpful and welcoming. On the drive back to New Jersey we were already discussing when we could come back!

We have been coming up to Leland for over a decade, and this property is one of the most charming we have ever stayed in. The attention to detail is excellent, and the owners are a true treasure. My husband and I joked that we didn't want to write a good review so we could keep this property our secret. The location is great-walkable to everything. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
