The property was excellent for our group! We were in town for a wedding and the property was able to comfortably accommodate all of us guests. I really enjoyed how spacious the rooms were and especially enjoyed the game room upstairs. I will try and book this place for all of my future trips to Traverse City!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was really spacious and it was especially nice to have 4 bathrooms. Everything was very clean. We loved having the fully stocked kitchen, the grill, and games available. The host was very responsive and the location was perfect - just a short drive to downtown. We would definitely stay here again!

Family get together got the 4th

Well maintained home with good location. Great toys and games to keep 7 year old happy when at the house. Dresser in room I was in had issue with lower drawer right hand side. First night got there I went to open it and the front of the drawer fell off. Found knob but not screw until we looked in upper drawer. I left on the dresser as did not want to try to open again to replace once my son put the face of the drawer back on. That only issue.

Close to Town / Quiet Location

The house is very large, the downstairs living room is smaller. Good for 4 adults. The upstairs has a massive game room. The house is very clean and cozy with a nice fenced backyard. Our favorite part was the trailhead right next door to take a quick hike and walk the dogs. The house is 10 minutes from the grocery store and right outside of TC to give a quiet and peaceful place to relax.

Excellent Location

"We had an amazing stay! The location was perfect—close to downtown, yet with a charming country-like feel that gave us the best of both worlds. The space was fantastic for our group of friends, offering plenty of room and lots of thoughtful amenities. We especially loved the fire pit, cornhole, and the cozy ambiance, which made for a memorable fall evening. Everything about our stay was comfortable and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with friends!"

We stayed here for an annual girls trip weekend. The location was perfect and the house is more spacious than expected. Our advice is to bring your own pillows, as the pillows supplied lacked comfort.

We had a group of nine ladies for the weekend for wine tasting. This place was great with all the space we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked unlike many others we have stayed at before. A great location as it’s close to so many things.

It was alright..

This home doesn’t have full central air as advertised. There are 3 rooms on the 2nd floor with no central air. There was one portable unit but that would only work for a single room. The weekend we stayed it was about 87-89 degrees Fahrenheit outside so it became very hot in that area of the house. The central air also went out while we were staying here so it became very uncomfortable in the home even with fans and windows open. There was a lack of communication with getting the air fixed. The home itself wasn’t bad though, however we will likely not stay here again..

Beautiful, clean property. Expansive so no one felt crowded. Location was great relative to town and activities. Only one negative was that we had to buy our own toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, and trash bags. Nevertheless, we would stay here again.
