About this property

Country Home, outdoor spaces, secluded but close to everything

Nestled in a peaceful, wooded valley on scenic Grandview Road just a mile from the West Bay of Traverse City, this multi-generational home is our offer to your family and friends.

Three bedrooms with brand new beds, fully equipped kitchen with induction stove, a living room that's spacious and comfortable, and a dining/family room that, like the living room, looks out through picture windows on a serene view. It also features spacious yards and a back patio for private outdoor dining.

The house is close to many attractions in the Traverse City area including a slew of wineries, breweries, fine or casual dining and a wide variety of local shops. It's the gateway to Leelanau County including the Sleeping Bear Dunes, as well as many miles of beaches and parks on Lake Michigan. We're also a short distance from the TART recreational trail

The host is nearby and available upon request. We've lived here all our lives: we can guide you to the right beach, recommend the best dining options, and more.

Host communicated early and provided necessary info for the home. We were also surprised with a grocery bag full of items for a complimentary breakfast. The house is older and needs a few updates but was clean and spacious. Kitchen missing aluminum foil for cooking but all necessary pans, baking sheets and plates/utensils were there. We were there in the the winter so not able to enjoy the deck or check out any trails.

Perfect for our family over a long weekend. The outdoor deck and grill were great. The host left breakfast in the refrigerator to get us started (appreciated). Too bad we didn't get a chance to have the fire, it looked great. The tv had the sports channels we wanted. Good location. Host is very good with communication and the property is as described. There were books, games, and the view from the kitchen table out the picture windows was peaceful!

Our stay at Grandma's house was as nice as you could ask for.TIm, our host, was super friendly, unobtrusive per our wishes, but readily available if needed. Comfy beds, comfy living areas, nice yard and deck. Tucked into the woods so it was peaceful and quiet.Very close to town but with a rural feel to go with it.The house was well stocked with linens, games, kitchen essentials--whatever you might need. We were even provided with bacon, toast, and eggs in the fridge for our first morning's breakfast: that was a nice touch!Thanks for making your family home available to us, Tim!

My friends and I had a great stay here. While the interior of the home has not been updated since it was built, the furniture, floors and even the walls were spotlessly clean and in excellent condition. It is obvious the owner cares a great deal for the property. It is located very close to downtown Traverse City while still maintaining a rural and secluded feel in the woods. The property is large and has plenty of room for parking vehicles or entertaining friends & family. Furthermore the owner was willing to accommodate me when I had to push the check in and checkout time. If i had one grip about the property it was only that the water pressure was somewhat weak which made it a little difficult to take a shower. With everything considered you would be very hard pressed to find better accommodations for your money. I would definitely book this listing again.

This cozy country home near Traverse City was the perfect mix of peaceful and convenient. It felt like visiting Grandma’s place. Quiet, charming, and full of comfort.We loved the spacious yard and private patio. Despite the quiet setting, we were just minutes from downtown, beaches, wineries, and restaurants. Inside was clean and thoughtfully stocked, with comfy beds and a well-equipped kitchen. The host was kind, responsive. We would definitely stay again.

Great house, very cozy for our family of five plus dog. House has everything we needed to cook our own meals and is not far from town. Tons of books, puzzles, and other games for around there. Close enough to town to easily do things, but far enough to be quiet. Tim was a great host. Very responsive and made sure we were taken care of. Would stay again!

Grandma's house

The house was as expected based on the description and reviews, and it met our needs. It was fairly outdated and smelled a little musty, but it was clean. In particular, the bathroom was somewhat updated and very clean which was appreciated. The outside areas were great and spacious. The host was super nice and helpful and very responsive.
