About the host
Hosted by Tonya
I love hosting and meeting people! I have been hosting over a year now. This is a picture of me on my kayak on Fife Lake. : ) You can have use of the kayaks, (with a signed waiver), and must be able to transport the kayaks either in the back of the trunk of your car or truck bed. My place is my idea of "heaven on earth". I hope you enjoy your stay and can get away from it all.
Why they chose this property
We are very close to many popular attractions! But for a getaway, this is the place! In the summer, there are many activities and the bustle of Traverse City! Here you can relax in the backyard by the pond and take a walk in the woods. There is free parking for snowmobiles, 4 x4, a trailer for pulling your 4 x 4 and/or boat is available! So much to do in the summer with all the wineries, sightseeing and shopping in Traverse City! The beautiful and popular North Country Trail is only a mile away from the house. In the winter, you can park your snowmobile at the Upper Bar, and relax inside by their fireplace with a drink and/or warm meal or go for a snowy hike in the woods!
What makes this property unique
Relaxing and peaceful, but close enough to the popular attractions!
