Perfect family get away up north! Very clean with plenty of space for 2 adults and 4 kids. We loved the location as a jump off point to all our favorite Northwest Michigan summer activities- Sleeping Bear, Glen Arbor, Leland, Platte River, Cherry picking, wineries and breweries, trail biking, and so many beautiful beaches:-)

Our family had a wonderful stay and loved the house! Would definitely return!House was very clean and well stocked with the essentials. Location was perfect and is on a quiet cul-de-sac. Quick scenic drive to Glen Arbor or wineries on Leelanau.Beds were comfy. Kids enjoyed the bunk beds. Upstairs has a bedroom and bathroom all to itself, which is nice. Can’t think of a single thing I would change!We goofed and left some things behind but Rachel was awesome and got everything back to us. She is a great host! We had an awesome time!

Wonderful, cozy and great get away
We loved it. We came up for a girls weekend. Everything was very comfortable and anything you could possibly need was available. The kitchen was well organized and it was nice that they had basics such as dishwasher pods etc.
Beds were very comfortable, area was quiet and no surrounding loud noises. The only minor it it’s not super close to things. Not a problem for us but worth noting for some travelers. I would definitely come back!

Beautiful Fall Weekend Up North
If you want a place between Glen Arbor & Traverse City then this is your place to stay.
Property was as described & guide book helped us work the TV properly as well as suggestion for food, hikes & wineries.
Location was terrific and don’t miss a visit to Cedar itself.
I would highly recommend & would stay here again.

Wonderful Cabin in the Woods
Everything about this cabin was exceptional. From the beautiful interior design to the spacious, secluded yard with a fire pit for s'mores. The kids, and we adults, loved it.
It's located just a few miles from the town of Cedar that has a wonderful ice cream stand. Its also a very short drive to the Lake Michigan beaches and Sleeping Bear Dunes.
Couldn't have found a better place to stay in the Traverse City area.
