Beautiful Home in the Trees

Our family enjoyed spending a week in this gorgeous home. Perfectly located close to the beach and town. The house itself is spacious and sets up well for families or a group of friends. It’s extremely well furnished and comfortable and we had every single thing we needed. A definite 10/10.

Beyond Our Expectations

We didn't want to leave - I would love to return! This home is not only beautifully decorated, but it is so relaxing, quiet and feels like home. Our family enjoyed every part of the "tree house". The hot tub and screened in porch were my favorite features, but the two living areas (one up and one down) with an open kitchen upstairs were so great! The location is very convenient to everything you need in TC. The beach access was also a wonderful addition, even if you had to walk a bit, it wasn't a big deal. Really truly one of the nicest rentals we have ever stayed in!

Terrific location close to town but away from the hustle and bustle. Very well appointed home - comfortable common spaces and a complete kitchen lacking in nothing you might need to prepare your meals. Truly one of the finest VRBO experiences I've ever had.

Lovely home in TC area!

We had such a wonderful stay at this home. The check-in process was super easy and the host responded very quickly whenever I had a question. The layout of the home is really great to accommodate a few different groups. We had myself with small children, as well as my sister and her child plus my older parents, and there is enough space for all of us.Everything was so well taken care of and so clean and the kitchen had everything that we needed to make a lot of home cooked meals. We love the screened-in outdoor porch and we spent a day at the private beach area for the home which was perfect. Had such a great stay, would highly recommend and we’d love to rent this spot again!

Great Vacation Getawy

We had a wonderful stay! The location is great, in the middle of everything. We biked to wineries and the farmers market, had a campfire on the beach, and had dinner on the screened in porch every night. We were there with 3 adult children and their partners and were very comfortable. The host was very responsive and answered all our questions.

Beautiful

This property has everything you need to enjoy Traverse City and it's beautiful surroundings. This hideaway in the trees gives you privacy while immersed in nature, but also within a 10 minute drive to downtown TC or the nearby wineries. The home itself is well supplied with everything you need for a comfortable stay and beautifully decorated. The check-in was super easy, and even though we didn't have a lot of communication with the host, they were quick to respond. Thanks for a great week in your home!

Family Graduation Celebration

My husband and I stayed at this property for 6 nights with our two adult daughters and their partners. From the moment we walked in the front door with the beautiful floor to ceiling windows looking out to the trees and the bay beyond, we were hooked. Immaculate, fully updated, well appointed. Plenty of options for alone time and group time. A short drive to stores and activities. S’mores on the beach at sunset was a highlight! Owners were very responsive to questions. It was perfect for us!

Beautiful Retreat any time of year

The location outside and inside is beautifully decorated. The kitchen is well stocked, and the owners went out of their way to make sure we felt welcomed. When issues developed with the house, the owners made sure to make things right and went above and beyond to save what would ultimately be my mother's last Thanksgiving dinner. I'm so thankful that we chose this house.

Pam’s Review

We had a lovely visit. The decor of the home is unique and right up our alley and a great location. There was plenty of room for all nine of us. All of the children loved the art room, and the four teenaged girls adored the hot tub.The only thing I would have liked is more and various sizes of cookware and bakeware.
