Amazing property, perfect location and a lovely, comfortable house. Had everything we needed (for all ages) and more. Loved the sunsets, kayaks and paddle boards and outdoor shower. So many places to go and things to do within 20 min drive. Hope to come back next year!

Idyllic Fall Vacation
The views of the lake and the fall color were picture perfect. After kayaking at sunrise, the outdoor shower was a perfect mix of luxury and practicality. The location made it easy to access local attractions including Traverse City, Leland, Sleeping Bear Dunes and any number of nearby orchards and vineyards.
