Nice, roomy house in an excellent location. Two living areas and a basement game room allowed everyone to spread out. Easy drive to Traverse City or Sleeping Bear. Lots of trails close by and across the street from Long Lake. Would definitely stay again.
There is so much room in this house. We had 8 adults and 2 children. The game room was fun. The back deck was used often. Very spacious and had plenty of seating available. Our family had a great time.
great location easy to get to everywhere we wanted to go, house very clean and had everything we needed. photos on line are accurate. only thing I see as improvementis outside front and back decks were messy ad landscape needs worked on.
