What a wonderful house! The river was beautiful with lots of wildlife in the back yard! We did a long girls trip, hiking at sleeping bear dunes and a kayak trip ending right at the house. The access to kayaks was the best part! Close to traverse city for a day of winerys. Will definitly be plannig another trip here soon!
