Lovely home with multiple areas for gathering, eating, playing games, having morning coffee outside, sitting by fire ring in the evening, etc.Great kitchen! Immaculate. Spacious. Fantastic location 5-minute walk to Leland’s hub of shops and restaurants and right across the street from Trish’s Cafe for breakfast, lunch, or takeout dinner entree. Lovely home, town, and lake beach that’s also just a 5- minute walk. Perfect!

Stunning house with all the modern conveniences in a quaint and charming town. Walking distance to Vans and Reynold's Beaches, Fishtown, restaurants, and shopping. There's a great breakfast and lunch place right across the street. We loved our stay! The owner was helpful and attentive to messages. VRBO had some issues delivering message through the app, but that definitely wasn't Eric's fault. Would definitely book this house again.

The Mosswood cottage was a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. It has lots of relaxing rooms, great kitchen to cook in, lovely bedrooms with great beds, linens, and towels. The kitchen was not only beautiful but well stocked. The outdoor areas were nice including a fire pit, and large table and grilling deck that were not pictured. We also enjoyed the screened front porch that felt very private. Thank you Katie and Eric for sharing your lovely updated and well designed home!

Amazing house for family vacation

This beautifully renovated home was the perfect spot for our three young children and my mother to join us for our fall break trip. We come up to Traverse City every year, but had never stayed north in Leland and we are so glad we did. It is the perfect location, within walking distance to everything in town and the beach. House was gorgeous and had so many amenities and things for children to do. The fenced in backyard is a Wonderland! The host was easily accessible for a few questions I had and very accommodating. We would definitely recommend this house and stay again in the future.

Perfect Family Retreat!

We could not have asked for a more perfect home for our family vacation! Well maintained, exceptionally clean and just as gorgeous in person, this property exceeded all of our expectations! The hosts have thought of everything: a well-stocked kitchen, family-friendly games, beach towels, fire-pit, gas grill, ample and comfortable seating, screened in front porch. We had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time together! Located close to everything, our teens loved walking to town to get ice cream and the adults appreciated the proximity to the cute shops and the grocery store. We all agreed that being able to walk a few blocks to the beach was amazing as we swam during the day and went back for sunsets each night! The hosts were excellent communicators and are clearly dedicated to ensuring that their guests can live their best vacation lives while staying at The Mosswood Cottage! We are already dreaming about returning next summer!

Great stay!

We had a wonderful stay at 402 S Main Street. The house and yard are spectacular. Location is perfect for all the beaches. Only downside was the clothing/towel stains from the well water. Most of the towels had stains, and a few of our clothes, unfortunately, were stained as well. Aside from that, we could not be happier with all aspects of our stay. Thank you!
