Great for a large group with plenty of seating and sleeping space. The place was clean with many of the necessary amenities provided such as dishes, towels, TP, soap, detergent and dish washing liquid. The house was located 20 mins from downtown TC and about an hour to Sleeping Bear Dunes.

It will be difficult to stay somewhere other than Uncle Don’s Cabin, as we were quite spoiled by this experience. Beautiful, spacious, welcoming cabin; quiet setting - close to town but very much felt “away from it all”. The game room was a bonus for the kids - big and small kids alike! Communication with our host was outstanding and they went above and beyond to respond quickly, helping us with activities, directions and any question we asked. Highly recommended and if we were to return to the area, it would be our first - and only - choice where to stay!

We were very pleased! This was a terrific place for our family to stay to experience time together. Everything was as described. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, glassware, mugs, silverware and cooking gear for 18 people. We utilized the fire circle, outdoor eating areas, and game room in the garage. We enjoyed the outdoor swings while sitting listening to the variety of birds. We would definitely stay here again and encourage others to also.

We had an incredible stay at this cabin in Traverse City. The property was exactly what we were looking for—spacious, comfortable, and surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the woods.The cabin easily accommodated our group, with plenty of room to relax, and enjoy our time together. Everything was clean and well-maintained.The host, Katie, was exceptional—responsive, helpful, and made the entire experience seamless. She even stopped by to welcome us and give some history on the cabin. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with plenty of space for a large group, this is the perfect spot. We made some great memories here and are already talking about coming back for another adventure. Highly recommended!
