The patio has such an awesome and breathtaking waterfront view! Doug was great and he was very responsive to all of our questions. We had an issue with the fire pit on the patio and he brought over 2 fire tube towers to make up for it so that our group could enjoy epic evenings on the patio! Thanks for a memorable vacation!

We found the home to be very comfortable to gather as a family or find a quiet space for alone time. The bed in the master bedroom is super comfortable. The kitchen is open and easy to work in and well stocked with dishes and utensils. The living room has a large and comfortable couch. Doug, the host, was easily reachable when we had questions and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and our stay comfortable. Thank you Doug.

We had an amazing stay! The property is beautiful and right on the water, with stunning waterfront views. The house was spotless, well-maintained, and in a perfect location—just minutes from downtown Traverse City. The host was incredibly communicative and accommodating throughout our stay. We especially loved the outdoor patio, which made the experience even more relaxing. Highly recommend!

Beautiful view, super nice house

We had an amazing time. The house had plenty of room for all of us and was very clean. This is the only VRBO I've ever stayed in that actually had enough wash clothes for all of us for the entire trip, so I didn't have to worry about washing towels. The view is perfect... Beautiful sunrise! We loved watching the birds and sailboats go by. 10 out of 10, would stay again!

All reviews gave this property a 5 perfect score. While skeptical this place could be that fantastic, IT WAS! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING was amazing. Doug was so pleasant to deal with, and our family (grandparents, parents, kids and grandchildren) loved the patio and immediate beach access. We will be back next summer! Wow!

We had a wonderful stay here! Location can’t be beat, close to traverse city and convenient to visiting all the other towns in the area. The outdoor space is priceless, we enjoyed it from sunrise to lounging in the afternoons, to stars and fire at night. The house is exceptionally clean and cozy, with comfortable beds and lots of extra pillows, blankets, etc, and a fully stocked kitchen with all the essentials. As people with allergies we REALLY appreciated that the house did not have heavily scented plug-ins or cleaning products.Highly recommend and would definitely rent again. Thank you for sharing this great house!
