Wonderful property with plenty of space, great for groups and families!

We used this property for a group trip with friends and it was wonderful! Plenty of sleeping accommodations, very clean, two kitchens, great back porch, and the outdoor shower stall was amazing! 10/10 would stay here again. Owners were very communicative and responsive.

Tournament weekend

Natures Ridge was the perfect place for our group to stay during a tournament weekend. It had plenty of space for the kids and adults to have their own space and was nice and quiet.

The best rental we have ever stayed at.

Planned a weekend trip for a girls weekend. The property was amazing. We had 13 people and had more than enough room. Everyone loved this rental. More than enough to do on the property itself. We loved the pickleball court, pool, hot tub, sauna and cold plunge. I wish our stay was longer. The communication was excellent and response was in a timely manner. The rental was clean and has everything that we needed. Great rental for large groups. Hopefully will get a chance in the future to rent again. Love Traverse City and our rental. Michele W

peaceful setting

Very well-done remodel, perfect for large families. Backyard firepit excellent, close to town yet seems like it is in its own world due to the natural setting, everything was clean and comfortable with excellent communication. Safe and secure with an emphasis on relaxing. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Amazing!!!

This is the 2nd year we have stayed here and wow what an improvement! It was perfect for our family last year and now it is out of this world! The pickleball court was enjoyed by everyone, the hot tub, sauna, pool, and plunge pool were great too. Very tastefully decorated. Everything is maintained well and the owners stay on top of everything to ensure your visit goes well. This property makes a rainy day no problem. Sometimes the grandkids didn't think they needed to go to the lake because they were having so much fun at the house. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, you will not be disappointed by this house. The value is there, we want to book again for next year! John and Carla Grand Rapids, MI

We absolutely loved our stay at this BNB! The photos are beautiful, but honestly, they only scratch the surface—this place exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff was phenomenal: incredibly kind, responsive when needed, yet never intrusive. They struck the perfect balance.The kitchens were wonderfully equipped and ideal for our group meals and gatherings. We cooked the majority of meals at the house for 10-12 adults. Parking was easy and plentiful, which made things smooth for multiple guests. The entire property was spotless, well-maintained, and filled with high-quality amenities that made our stay feel truly special.The location couldn’t have been better—it’s a perfect home base for exploring Traverse City and beyond. We easily visited Sleeping Bear Dunes, Suttons Bay, and downtown TC, and it’s also super convenient to the airport.Check-in and check-out were effortless, and everything about our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back and will be recommending this gem to all our friends and family. A truly top-tier experience!

Spectacular Venue with Exceptional Amenities & Fun!!

Our experience at Nature’s Ridge TC Pickleball was outstanding from start to finish. The venue is beautifully designed, spacious, and impeccably clean, offering exceptional amenities for both relaxation and adventure. The indoor pickleball barn provided hours of energetic fun, while the hot tub and barrel sauna were perfect for unwinding afterward. We loved exploring the unique themed rooms, relaxing with a wide selection of books and reading materials, and enjoying quality time playing board games together. The outdoor dining space and gas BBQ grill made it easy and enjoyable to share meals in a picturesque setting. With the heated container pool coming soon, this venue just keeps getting better! Lisa and her team were thoughtful, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay, making this a truly memorable getaway in Traverse City. Highly recommended!

Great property near Traverse City! This is a great spot for a group that offers plenty to do. We had a group that visited for a weekend in Traverse City and enjoyed the property - playing plenty of pickleball in the barn, enjoying the pool, sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, fire pit, and putt-putt green.The outdoor area here is great - plenty of space to enjoy yourself and relax - we were outside almost the entire weekend and able to really maximize the space. The pickleball barn is top notch - and has a ton of amenities in it (fridge, dishwasher, dishes, bathroom, kitchen), as well as plenty of things to entertain yourself with if you're not playing - multiple TVs and arcade games.The spot is great, it's in a neighborhood but a convenient short drive from downtown, groceries, and shopping.Check-in, communication, and check out process was a breeze - very professional but also making sure we were comfortable - with nice touches like some snacks upon arrival.Rooms were acceptable and clean and we easy touches like making sure there's a fan in the room and available towels and robes made our stay excellent.I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this property for a weekend group getaway. Obviously if you enjoy pickleball this is a great spot (and the court and set up is top notch - we had a great tournament) - but even if you don't or want to try it I'd highly recommend this property.
