  • Matt and Jennie, Thanks again for the use of the cottage. It all went very, very well. Asking the children about what they liked best in the whole trip, our 4 year old said, "the red house." The children enjoyed the games (inside and out). The horse shoe game and the other one by the fire pit are wondeful ideas. The boys built fires every night. They couldn't believe the freedom they had to roam around and explore. The location is perfect for traveling west or north, not too far from Lake Michigan, or other lakes and parks. We loved our stay. Thank you very much for everything and we do hope we see you some day again, and meet you, Jennie. Johnny and Berry

  • What a wonderful time we all had at the Wayberry Cottage for New Years! Thank you so much. This is a beautiful cottage - just as nice as its' description. We loved the pool table and hot tub especially. This was great for a group of couples/friends who wanted to get away for a relaxing vacation. And a great secluded location - yet close to nice towns for a day out.

  • We had a wonderful stay, the family enjoyed the beautiful fall colors in the modern setting of Wayberry Cottage. Hope to return again next year and would recommend it to anyone wishing to get away in the quiet while still being close to wine tours, Lake Michigan and Traverse City.

  • We found the Wayberry on the internet looking for a vacation home to rent. I have learned before that you can't always believe everything you see on the internet. I read all of the comments, looked at the pictures and description and emailed the owners. It was exactly as described and could not have been more perfect! It was pristine. Very private, and perfect in every way. We had 2 teenagers and my parents- and the Ladder Ball games grew into big challenges. My mom was out there practicing many mornings so she could beat my 14 year old son. A great time was had by all! The Walker Family

  • Thank you for a great vacation. You have done a lot to make the cottage fun and comfortable for all ages. The setting among the pines is very peaceful. Sitting in the hot tub looking out at the trees was wonderful. Thank you.

  • The best cottage we've stayed in! Clean, well maintained and not far from all our favorite things to to in Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes. The kids had a great time at the beach not far and Matt was always available for questions and help when needed. Quiet and private- very peaceful! We'll be back for sure :O) Ken & Laura

  • This comment is long overdue. We, the girls gone wild!, (well, okay as much as possible since we're all moms pushing the big 40) have booked the Wayberry Cottage in October for the past two years for a much needed girl's weekend retreat. We can't say enough positive things about this super cute cottage (er..really a sizeable house that sleeps plenty!)and we've all joked that it's cleaner and much more stylish than our own abodes. Matt and Jennie are the most gracious hosts -- you can tell right away they are very nice people, who take pride in their cottage and who really want everyone that stays here to have the best memories. We're already talking about our next hoorah this coming October. Thanks Matt and Jennie, for creating and sharing such a relaxing and peaceful place. We love it! The Girls Gone Wild! :)

    December 26-28, 2007 This was our second year at the Wayberry Cottage. I did not see how it could be better, but it was! This time we had snow! My brother from Alaska and my daughter and son-in-law from Las Vegas joined us. They loved it. We had a wonderful time, Thanks Matt & Jennie! Cara Harder

    Jan 31-Feb 3, 2008 Adults arrived thursday evening, got settled and hot-tubbed. Kids arrived Friday. We enjoyed snowmobiling, eating, playing games and being up north in your beautiful cottage. Trails were perfect! This is our second trip to the Wayberry and we highly recommend it to everyone! Thanks again! Paul, Linda, Justin & Elise Varner Gary, Debbie, Jessica, Jordan & Kelsey Pyle

    10/26-28/07 Wow! What a fantastic birthday surprise! I've always wanted to "get away" yet have a place for my kids & their "others" and some family members too! This was it! We had such awonderful time going for walks, collecting and waxing beautiful leaves-sitting lost in thought, awe and wonder on that fabulous porch swing. Relaxing in that marvelous hot tub, playing games with everyone around the table, playing pool and foosball downstairs, playing horseshoes, going backroading etc. etc. etc. We didn't travel too far from here-we just needed a big rest and some family time and forget the rush of life, back in Grand Rapids. We would love to return, and we hate to leave! Thank you for sharing your life-saving place, and God bless you all!! The Mulder's
