Leland is one of those rare villages which is different than all of the others. The entire village encompasses only three "full" blocks. Many of the businesses are in turn-of-the-century buildings. The dining is upscale and the retail establishments include numerous art galleries, specialty shops, and clothiers. Leland is a great "walking around" town with numerous private flower gardens and mini-gardens. The Village Green, one of three public parks near the village center, includes a spectacular rose garden on one corner, and flowers throughout. And of course, there is Fishtown. Fishtown began in the 1800s. The buildings in Fishtown were first used as the equipment sheds for the old-time fisherman. It has slowly been transformed into one of the most unique shopping areas and charter boat dockages to be found anywhere. Most of the buildings are repaired versions of the originals, and the place looks similar to what is has for one hundred years. These grey, weather-beaten buildings along the Carp River, are one of the largest attractions of Leelanau County and of the Traverse City region. To start your planning, here are our listings of Cabins & Cottages in and around Leland.
