The mattress in the master bedroom was extremely soft and uncomfortable. We were asked to put the towels in the washer and start the load, but there were no operating instructions. It's located across the street from a shopping plaza which is convenient but also results in a lot of traffic. I thought that it was over priced when compared to hotels in the area. With that being said it was clean and convenient for a group.

Best Host Ever
I’ve seen many properties over the years and I have to say that this was the absolute best experience. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, and we all agreed it was such an easy and seamless process to check in and check out. The property was in great shape and there are zero complaints.

Ringing in the New Year as a Family
This was a great combination of cozy gathering spaces—kitchen table big enough for a large family to eat and play games and enough seating for everyone to watch a movie—and beds for everyone to have a space for themselves to regroup. Location was great for a quick trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Penninsula Park and walking distance to grocery to get supplies we forgot. Would definitely recommend!

Great place
We had a great time visiting Traverse City for the weekend. We searched out a place large enough for our family of 6 that also had a hot tub and came across this gem! Loved the decor of the house, very modern and up to date. Very clean and had all the amenities. We were also welcomed with a complimentary bottle of wine!
Across the street was a grocery store, which came in handy! We’ll definitely head back to this house when we visit again!
