we spent our 2007 christmas vacation at the house. we had a beautiful white christmas. the house is beautiful. the view of the lake. the snow covered pine trees. the big beautiful windows in the living room allowed us to display our fresh cut 10' blue spruce christmas tree. the trip to downtown traverse city was very convenient and quick. we loved our stay and will be back again.

Dear Maryana and Dwayne, my husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at your home, and we loved how peaceful and quiet that side of TC is. It was the perfect getaway for his mid-tour leave, and the view from the kitchen/living area was so beautiful when we would wake up and there was a foot of snow that fell over-night, (we did get stuck in the driveway though, lol...I'm thinking my front wheel drive car is not good enough for Michigam winters). You were very accommodating, even though we were last minute renters, and we will definately remember our stay there as a wonderful time we got to have. Thank You for providing such a beautiful home, Kaitlyn and Ben
Owner response:Thanks for your comments. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us, and we really appreciate it the little present you left for us. We hope to have you again at our home in the near future!

This property was absolutely gorgeous as you can see from the photos. It was very well appointed and extremely clean. Location was great - so close to Traverse City, restaurants, shopping and the wineries. We are already making plans to go back next year!

My brothers, dad, uncles and I spent a long weekend here fishing. The place was awesome and had everything we needed. Lots of room and slept everyone comfortably. The large deck was a great place to hang out on. The large dock also made it very convient for easy access to the fishing. We really enjoyed our experience at this home.

We looked at a number of homes to rent and we feel we made the correct choise. The home was as reported and the 9 of us fitted in it very well. The deck was plenty big enough and the fire pit was put to good use. One up-grade that would make it perfict is a sun deck at the dock. Everyone should put this on their list of homes to stay in atleast once.
Owner response:Neil and Emma, Thanks so much for your comments. We really apprecciate the feedback. Thanks for the sun deck idea by the dock, we've been looking for that, but gotta say never got to it, now that you mention it, we will put our efforts to have one for next summer! We are glad that you and your family enjoyed our home as much as we do. Hope to have you sometime again in the near future as our special guest at "Remember your Spirit".

House is over priced and pics don't show the house well at all it is much smaller than it looks kitchen is tiny the deck is nice but the dock it very poor the stairs to the dock are poor landscaping is very poor and no sandy frontage for kids to play.
Owner response:Thank you for your valued opinion of our vacation home. We are sorry to hear that our pictures make our home appear to be larger than the actual 2,880 square feet of finish living space. When our 12x 12 kitchen was featured on the cover of WOODHARBOR’S annual custom cabinetry publication and sent through the USA, we were as proud as the parents who found out that their daughter was being featured on the front of Vogue. Our ground's keepers do their best to maintain the landscaping of our home and to preserve the natural beauty (wooded area) and feel of Traverse City’s wine country. I think our lake home’s outdoor atmosphere was best described by one of our guests as feeling like they were in the award winning movie “On Golden Pond”. We also understand that some guests prefer a sandy beach area. We struggled with the thought of destroying the home’s natural beauty and making a beach play area. In the end our decision was to bring the sand only into the swimming area. Part of the reason we decided to do this is because a short distance away (.5 miles) is a wonderful public park with a sandy beach. However we NEVER say that our home has a sandy beach area, and we always send a full album of pictures or a Facebook invite so our possible renters can see all the pictures of the inside and outside areas of our property. Please follow the link below, so you are able to see more pictures of our home, or look for us under Dwayne and Mariana Behrens on Facebook.

Nice property, but beware security deposit policy

Review Submitted: 04/30/09
We really had a very positive experience with Mariana and Dwayne throughout the rental process. So, we were truly surprised and disappointed when they handled the security deposit refund so poorly!! During our stay, the mini stereo system just stopped working right in the middle of playing a CD. Despite several calm, factual email exchanges about the topic, they insisted on charging us $190 for a new stereo. They suggested we needed to take responsibility for the accident. What accident?!? We average about 3 rental property vacations every year, and our security deposit has never been handled this poorly. I am just glad the refrigerator or air conditioner did not break down while we were there.
Owner response:Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear that you thought it was unfair for you and your family to pay for a less than 1 year old Sony surround system stereo. Actually we apprecciated the comments in our guest book from your daughter's party, even making the comment about our stereo being the highlight from their vacation at our home. Unfortunately, in 5 years, we've had to take part of the security deposit to cover any damages only 2 times, and we want our guests to believe us, we don't like it! To be honest it will be the easiest if everything in the house stays as found. However, one of our lessons this time was NOT to make any exceptions, as your group didn't have any adult over 21 years old in your party, and it was as a spring break getaway.

What a beautiful escape from the hectic pace of everyday life. I planned a surprise party for my husband's 50th birthday, and had 6 friends meet us up there 'unexpectedly'. There was plenty of room for everyone and we had a great time! Its a beautiful retreat and provides a peaceful, elegant atmosphere where you can unwind and enjoy some downtime together. You can tell this place was designed with love, and a strong focus on making guests feel welcome and pampered. We really enjoyed ourselves and will recommend it to friends! We're hoping to return soon to enjoy it ourselves.

Dear Mariana - Our stay at your lovely cabin. First, we had a wonderful time. It was great seeing our son, cooking together and experiencing snow! We don't do snow in New Orleans and our little one was able to play in it safely on your deck and that was a real plus. The fireplace was cozy and we appreciated the firewood that was available. We LOVED our stay and were so happy to be here. Thanks again! Sincerely, Nancy C.
