  What a great 'girls weekend' get away. There were 5 of us and we had so much fun in your beautiful cottage. We played pool, foosball, went hot tubbing, and enjoyed all of our time at Wayberry. We decided the first night that this would be our new annual 'girls weekend' location. Thanks so much, it was great!

  This was a great weekend getaway with 6 adults and 5 young kids. There was plenty of snow for sledding around the property and also for tubing at Timberlee Downhill Snow Tubing! It was great to just hang out and relax while the kids playing in the living room or basement and the hot tub was great! We will be back and maybe make a longer trip out of it. Thanks Matt & Jennie it was WONDERFUL!!

  Thank you Matt, this place was so awesome. We booked the Wayberry for my husbands 40th Birthday Celebration. The place is so fantastic, we enjoyed the hot tub, foosball table, pool table etc. We took a snowy hike through the woods, went into Traverse City, also did some skiing. I think the favorite thing was to come back to the cottage with all of the wonderful ammenities you provide. Thanks again, it was truly a memorable weekend, we are already talking about next years trip!

  Our family has voted to make this an annual event ! For some of us, this was our 2nd stay and it was as great as our first. The newbies were instantly charmed. Clean, well maintained, cozy and big enough for 12 of us! We had 4 little kids, ages 3 -6, who had so much fun they didn't want to leave. We did a scavenger hunt in the woods with them and had campfires almost every night. No worries about them being too loud and disturbing neighbors. They ran, played, collected pine cones and fire wood and we big kids relaxed, played, ate and drank to our hearts content! It is close to Traverse City so we went to a Beach Bums baseball game, shopped, ate Moomer's ice cream etc. We took a canoe trip with Riverside Canoes, visited Sleeping Bear Park, hiked the dunes, played at Esch Rd Beach. Everyone loved the drive-in movie theater ... what a blast from the past! Long Lake is a great place to rent a boat and hang out on the water ... we used Sunset boat rental. Also enjoyed picking raspberries, visiting a winery ( 2 Lads ), and buying some fresh picked cherries out on Old Mission Peninsula. Don't worry about running out of things to do . . . By far, the best part of every day was spent back at Wayberry Cottage ... or "the little red house in the woods" as we like to call it. Matt, the owner, is readily available to answer any questions and the cottage looks just like the photos and description. We brought tons of food and enjoyed cooking together and pitching in with the cleaning chores.. . a much more bonding experience than eating in restaurants! Can't imagine a more perfect place for our family. We have so many lovely memories of our "Michigan Place" and hope to return again off season, as well as our annual summer trip.

  We stayed at the Wayberry over New Years' Eve with a group of friends and had a wonderful time. Matt helped us to feel right at home and we all were able to relax and enjoy the idyllic location. We snowshoed around the 15 acres and made a day trip to Timberlee Tubing. It was a great several days in the woods which we would return to anytime our schedule allows!

  October 9-15, 2009 We really enjoyed our stay at "Wayberry." It's a great vacation rental; it was so quiet, pretty, comfortable, and cozy we didn't want to leave. Especially loved the hot tub and the fireplace. (Didn't get to use the screened porch much because it was so cold, but I'm sure in warmer weather it would make a great place to hang out & read a book. Thanks, Eleanor Ann Arbor, Michigan

  The Wayberry is "our place"! Three of my dearest friends and I have been spending a week together, every summer for 9 years, scrapbooking, watching chick flicks, laughing, talking and sharing life. Our last three years have been spent at the Wayberry and we already have it booked for next summer- our 10th year! Matt is fun and helpful and he keeps the place beautiful. WE LOVE IT!

  We really had a great time at the Wayberry. The screened in deck, hot tub and pool table were the highlights. Everyone in the group was amazed at the accommodations. Once again thank you and we look forward to another stay. Jason
