Great New Year’s Getaway

Really enjoyed our time here and the accommodations were perfect for our group (2 families, 4 adults and 3 children) on a getaway for New Year’s. Location was close enough to downtown and the house was quite clean and welcoming. Will definitely consider staying here again!

We had a lovely stay as a group of 6 women. Beds were comfortable and the location was perfect. We did struggle with the sound for the TV, and the first night there were complaints of the temperature in the first floor bedroom. This was fixed with a fan, but otherwise it seems like the AC struggles to reach that back bedroom. Kitchen was very stocked for anything we needed, and overall it was an absolutely perfect home base for our northern Michigan adventures.

Perfect location

We were in traverse city for a vineyard wedding and this location was perfect! The house was walking distance to downtown and a short drive to numerous wineries. The house was very clean and well stocked/prepared. I have stayed in numerous VRBOs and was very please by the amount of toilet paper in each bathroom 😂 (sometimes it’s the little things). Would stay here again 😊

We loved the house but we had an intruder that tried to break in 3 of the 5 nights. We had to call the cops and have video tapes of the intruder

Response from VrboOwner on Feb 7, 2024
We appreciate the opportunity for our guests to file reports based upon their experiences at our home. However, in this instance, the review is exaggerated to such a degree that it is damaging and warrants a response. The guests did contact us about a man that they felt was wandering around the house. However, this contact was not made until several days into their stay. Their review, suggesting that this happened 3 out of the 5 nights was not reflected in their report of the purported incident to us (or to the police). They sent us videos of the man walking on the public sidewalk in front of the house. There were no videos of the man attempting to make any entry into the home. The guests contacted the police about this man and the police visited the home. After an interview with the guests the police determined that there was no need for a report to even be filed since the man was on a public sidewalk and there was no evidence of any attempt by any person to enter any houses. We want to ensure that all of our guests have an excellent experience at our home and we do not want a review that is this hyperbolic to cause unwarranted concern for potential guests. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss this further.

Great stay at beautiful home with intricate woodwork

My family enjoyed a wonderful stay at this property. Maggie was great to work with and always responded quickly. Home was clean and spacious but cozy and comfy. Intricate details throughout the home make it quite unique. Upstairs shower is beautiful. Bedrooms great and loved the sound machines. Mattresses were great quality and everyone slept soundly. Great kitchen for cooking. Location is not only amazing for access to downtown but equally great for chuldren. Amazing playground across the street and walkable to many great establishments. We had a wonderful time and hope to be back soon!!

Holiday Hockey Tournament

Our family of five (two adults, two older teens, and one middle school child)traveled to Traverse City from Texas over the holidays for an ice hockey tournament. This property was wonderful for our group with plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen and closets were well stocked, with all of the comforts of home (pot/pans, linens, paper products, soaps/detergents). Some of our family joined us to play board games and have dinner at the house as well. Everyone was impressed and quite comfortable. We'd all like to return sometime! I will add the space is much larger than it appears on the post. Highly recommended!
