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!

Turning onto the two-track driveway takes you immediately back to a time when folks spent their whole summers away from the city. You can't see your neighbors - you are surrounded by pine trees to the north, south, and east, and Lake Michigan to the west. The beach is wonderful, and a favorite haunt for rock hounds. The cottage is filled with games, books, and recreational equipment that does not require an electric or ethernet connection. Much recommended for those longing for the simpler days. The story of this 100+ year old home is wonderfully told in a book created by one of the owners - a great read.

We’ve been visiting Pineacres for over 64 years and it never disappoints. The smell of the pines, crashing of waves and old worldliness of the rustic cottage can not compare to anywhere else we’ve been.. The memories of our family gatherings linger in every room as we share this magical place with our younger generations. Thank you for allowing us to relive our family memories and make new ones there over and over.

Pineacres is very, very special to us. Our stays here are always just right! The home is a rustic summer cabin with charm and nostalgia. Everything is always clean and comfortable. This beach makes the place extra special for us. There are no other views that we have found in any home from our travels north. Mandy is extremely prompt and accommodating. We love walking in to Fishtown to grab a drink or a Cheese Shanty sandwich. Hunting for Petosky and sea glass is also a favorite thing to do. There is barely any cell service. It takes a day for our teenagers to adjust - but after that - they unplug for the week and enjoy our family time.

What a wonderful way to spend a week and disconnect from every day life. The sound of the waves as an alarm clock, walks on the beach to Fishtown, and sunsets over North Manitou Island. Highly recommend!

From the moment we drove down Pineacres wooded driveway we were whisked back to a simpler and more relaxing time. This cozy and rustic cabin was the perfect setting for our group of couples. With its unbeatable lake front views and private beach we enjoyed early morning walks hunting for Petoskey stones, browsing the rare book collection in the living room of the main house, eating meals on the deck overlooking lake, kayaking, hiking, biking and walking into town. At the conclusion of each busy day we headed down the the cabin's 6 perfectly placed sunset chairs to take in the breathtaking views with a cocktail in hand. Mandy and her sister we wonderful hosts. They were easy to get ahold of and quick with their responses. Scott the handyman was just a call away when we ran out of firewood for the large living room fireplace. Pineacres is steeped in the history of the Leelanau Peninsula. It was a pleasure to explore and enjoy. We will certainly be back to visit!
