Beautiful property close to the beach
Our young family stayed at this home for a week with grandparents. The home is absolutely beautiful and well appointed with the basics of what you would need for a week. There was a welcome package waiting for us upon arrival which was an extra special touch. The house is off the main track of TC but very easily accessible to downtown within 10-15 minutes. We found that to be a nice blend of seclusion/privacy with access to the city. Given the mix of young and older ages for our guests, the owner worked with us well ahead of time to review our individual needs and what would be available within the home. A few accessibility comments: -The home is a 5-minute walk away from the beach via a relatively steep mixed cement/gravel driveway. We made the trip many times with our crew but the kids would not have been able to make the walk on their own or without assistance from the wagon/stroller. -The owner let me know prior to booking that there the wrought iron stairway is very steep and is in the middle of the main floor. We worked around this by bringing a gate to help block off the stairs.

Great summer getaway
We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! The location is perfect, you have privacy but also are so close to anywhere you want to go whether it’s the wineries and other peninsula spots or downtown. The house was great and nicely decorated and more than enough room for 3 couples and a 10 month old baby. Communication was great, they left numbers to contact if we needed anything and got back right away. Great hot tub and fire pit area. And the private beach and kayaks were awesome. Wish we could have stayed longer and will be the first property we look in to stay at next time we come up!

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.

The house was very nice, and the location was excellent for venturing to the downtown area of Traverse City, to the wineries and breweries. The cute private beach is a 5-minute walk from the house.

family reunion
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.

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 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.
