Very very clean rooms

We came up for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary and look at a venue for our daughter's wedding. We arrived later than expected and was still well taken care of. Restaurant on the property was closing soon but stayed open for us to eat. Our room was one of the cleanest we have ever rented, my wife and I are very picky about cleanliness and we had nothing to complain about. We would definitely stay and recommend this property again.

needs improvement

The pictures are accurate, I'll say that. I wasn't expecting much but there were a few areas where they lost points with me. I was working remotely on this trip and expected wifi but they provided the incorrect wifi network and password. I understand that mistakes happen but I had to reach out 3 separate times and it took over 24 hours for them to get me the corrected wifi information and then the wifi was so weak it wasn't even worth using. Nor did they acknowledge their mistake or apologize for the delay. For the price i paid, close to 1,000 for three nights, I expected the customer service to be a little better (it was nonexistent). They sell wine on the property - maybe throwing in a bottle with the overpriced room would have been a classy touch or just responding to (and owning) their own mistake in a timely manner would have been appreciated.

Just What We Needed

Such a nice, clean, quiet and well equipped rental. We were there for three days and the location was the perfect place to land for exploring the region. Oh, great wine, too!

Great Place and Location for Everything!!

Great, cozy and comfortable apartment with beautiful outside porch and the bay right across the street. Walked (uphill - great workout!) to Willow and Ciccone vineyards - other vineyards very close by. Sutton's Bay is just down the road - Hop Lot was very cool and is a must just for the atmosphere. Went to Fishtown and Glen Arbor as well as downtown Traverse City...all close by. This is a really good base point for visiting the M22 locations!
