Eclectic Cottage by the bay, downtown, bike trail

Welcome to the Green Light House, conveniently located in East Bay, just minutes from the beach, park, bike trail, wineries and Downtown TC! Recently updated and designed, its style is a thoughtful curation of various periods and themes. Inspired by eclectic patterns, colors, and imagery, we strived to connect imaginative and timeless designs. We love homes that feel put together and purposeful, and we think The Green Light House brings that set of values to life. We welcome you to our home!


You enter the home into a fully-stocked kitchen with a window view into the spacious, fenced-in backyard with Breeo fire pit (with plenty of firewood) and outdoor furniture. From the kitchen, you pass through a common space with comfortable seating to enjoy a book or cocktail. The living room follows next and includes ample seating for all guests, including a workspace in the corner and a 65” Samsung Smart TV with Roku connectivity (BYOP - bring your own passwords). The rest of the main level consists of one full bath and two bedrooms with queen beds. Both bedrooms include brand new Midea window A/C units. As you move upstairs, the second level really brings the cottage atmosphere. It includes a small half bath and two bedrooms - one with a queen bed and the other with a twin bed. The queen bedroom includes another Midea window A/C unit.


No matter your Northern Michigan adventure, this home is centrally located to offer convenience and accommodate your needs. For the families, it is walking distance to the neighborhood park; for the beach bums, the State Park Beach is a hop away; and for the walkers/joggers/bikers, the Traverse Area Recreational Trail (TART) is a skip away.


Some of our nearby favorites:

Neighborhood Park (swings, slide, basketball court) - 1 minute walk
Traverse Area Recreational Trail (TART) - 2 minute walk
Grocery Store (Tom’s Food Market) - 2 minute drive / 10 minute walk
Coffee (Biggby Coffee) - 2 minute drive / 10 minute walk

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk.

The home had all that we needed for a quick 2 day stay. It was very nice to have a fenced in yard for the dog.

This home was exactly as described and more! We appreciated all the extra little amenities that we didn’t have to go out and buy. The location was central to everything we wanted to do and especially close to several beaches. We loved it! Would definitely recommend and would consider returning in the future.

Nice house

You can tell a lot of work and love has gone into this property. My hunch is the owners do a few upgrades every year. The main living areas, main bathroom and bedrooms are nice, everything is clean. Backyard is a big bonus. We enjoyed the fire pit.

One-Star Review: Unsafe and Unacceptable

We initially thought this house was lovely, but our experience quickly turned into a nightmare. One morning, our son began vomiting and showing signs of illness. Concerned that he might be dehydrated, we took him to the hospital. After several hours, doctors determined he had been poisoned.We later learned he had ingested one of the two packages of medication that his younger sister found under the bed, items they both mistook for candy. (One was a package of various prescription adult vitamin's and the other was cannabis gummies). This should never have happened. These substances were clearly left behind from a prior guest and were completely missed during the cleaning process.It’s unacceptable that the property was not thoroughly cleaned and checked for hazardous items before our arrival. Due to this serious oversight that resulted in a medical emergency, I do not recommend staying at this property.
