30th Anniversary stay

My husband and I had a fabulous stay at the House on High Lake. The cabin was perfect for the two of us. It is also in a great location, allowing us to see a variety of sites without driving too far. Mike and Maureen were very nice and were very helpful when a minor issue came up with the TV. We would definitely stay there again!

Relaxing Little Hideaway

This cabin is great for any couple looking to get away. It had all the essentials for our weekend trip to see Sleeping Bear Dunes. You’re still close enough to the downtown core of Traverse City that going to the beach, going out to eat (we recommend Mama Lu’s for some amazing street tacos), or going shopping is no burden. However, you’re also far enough back that at the cabin you can truly relax, enjoy nature, and appreciate the amazing lake view. Mike & Maureen are great hosts, and for our next trips out this way we will try and book this stay again!
