Stay was nice and cozy for our family vacation! I had family in the area so it was nice to have “tourists”. Location to the lake was nice and boat rental was very easy! If I could ever talk my Buckeye husband into going to “the state up north” we’d for sure be back and use the same rental! The power did go out one night due to a quick storm and the owner contacted us to make sure we were okay and when the power was due to come back on so that was great! 10/10 stay

Lovely stay near the lake

This is a very comfortable, clean home with access to Long Lake. We cooked almost every night of our stay in a kitchen that has all the amenities. My son and daughter-in-law and their twin children stayed downstairs which was perfect for them. The host provided toys for the children which they enjoyed playing with. Our communication with the host was excellent. She was extremely helpful. We really enjoyed our stay in beautiful Traverse City.

Girls Weekend

We were looking for something out of the way and quiet and that's exactly what we found. The house is adorable and well maintained. Bigger than we expected with all the modern appliances and absolutely everything we could possibly need or want was there. The beds were comfortable and bedding was high quality. We loved the fireplace and appreciated it during the cool nights even in September. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could ever need and then some. Audrey has literally thought of everything and was available for us if we needed her via text. Will definitely stay there again and again.

Wine and relaxation

Came to the area for the first time looking to do some wine tasting. Found this property and it looked to be in a great location - close enough to enjoy the wineries and downtown Traverse City, but remote enough to be quiet and relaxing at the end of the day. Owner was amazing to work with, house was very clean, comfortable (I’m a bit of a mattress snob and slept great) and it had everything we needed in the kitchen etc. Covid caused some adjustments to standard procedures, but everything was communicated ahead of time and there were no surprises! Great trip…even if we had to cut it short because of an injury. Would definitely stay here again!
