My husband and myself booked this property based on location in relation to downtown Traverse City and the fact they allowed dogs. We ended up having 4 other friends join us and this home provided the space and ammenities we needed. The home was clean and spacious with a wonderful wrap around deck for outdoor relaxation. The beds and linens were so comfortable and the kitchen had every utensil you could ask for. There was a helpful 3 ring "guide" to local eateries and attractions that we used to find a true gem. Highly recommend "Sledders" and thanks so much to Sue for opening her home to our group from Minnesota! We miss the place already and hope to return soon!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.

We had a great stay! There were 7 girls and we were celebrating the upcoming marriage of a close friend. The location of the rental was perfect, we weren't right downtown, but not too far away. We toured the wineries (which were amazing!), had a bonfire and just relaxed! This rental provided everything we needed, along with a relaxing weekend away from reality.Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.

The listing for this lovely home was more than accurate. At one time over our stay each member of our party noted what a nice place it was to spend our holiday. The lodge decor and interior were warm, cozy, and comfortable and the bathrooms modern and clean. We found the house to be exceptionally well supplied. The kitchen had everything we needed to produce a traditional holiday dinner. The location is great for visiting Traverse City and surrounding areas. The owners were prompt in responding to queries and helpful--even offering the use of a roasting pan for our turkey. We really appreciated the opportunity to bring dogs and the reasonable cleaning fee. I imagine the wrap-around deck is especially delightful in warm weather but we even managed to enjoyed some outdoor sitting and visiting during our stay--you have to love Michigan weather. We would certainly recommend this property to family and friends.Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

My wife and I needed a getaway before having our first child(ren). Twins! Cottage was very nice. It has everything that you need and is close to everything (Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, wineries, brew pubs). Had a nice fire pit in the back yard so that we could tailgate before the Notre Dame/Michigan game. Go Irish! We will definately stay here again and highly recommend this rental.Recommended for: Families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Our visit to Traverse City was delightful. We enjoyed the house so much we hope to stay there again in the near future and on a frequent occasions. I cannot tell you how surprised I was to find so many items throughout the home that met our needs. We rent through VBRO yearly and I have never stayed somewhere so well stocked for visitors. The owner greeted us upon arrival which was a comforting start to our visit. The area has unlimited things to do as well. We spent one day (well maybe a smidgen more that one day) wine tasting. The next day was spent on the TART Trail biking. The trail was wonderful. We rode into TC (about 7.2 miles into town), made our way around town on bike, ate lunch, spent time playing at the beach and made the ride back. We then headed over to Sleeping Bear Bay for a day of kayaking and beach time. What a blast we had. I cant wait to return soon. We thank the owners for sharing their home and look forward to repeated visits.Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.
