We had a pleasant stay at this home. And we would stay again. At first when I walked in it felt a little narrow, small, but it ended up being Perfect! I needed a place for 5 weeks, I was coming to see family as well as work full time; remote. It was a perfect place for my family. And the WiFi connection was great!
The home is charming and clean. It is an older home so you have to be ok with that vibe. I used the dining room table for my work space, and we used the kitchen table for eating, visiting and playing cards. The kitchen feels like a cabin :) Which we like. We also used the table outside on the patio.
The description of the home was accurate. And Chris was an excellent host and very responsive. He addressed my questions prior to arriving as well as during our stay.
We used the TV room a lot, that is where we gathered to hang out as well as watch movies. We used the kitchen table and outdoor patio to visit and play cards. Kids used the sun room often. We also used the gas grill, which has been used well but it’s still doing it’s job :)
The house is in a great neighborhood, only a block from a great co-op and coffee/cafe. Nice to walk and get a coffee and a scone; which were amazing!!
We used the bikes around the neighborhood as well as riding around Boardman Lake which was 4 miles.. Very nice!
There are a few places you can bike to or walk, one of them being Traverse City Whiskey Company. We enjoyed this charming tasting distillery and bar. Nice to have a few drinks and be able to walk home :) We also walked 4 blocks to the Catholic Church for mass; it was lovely! Very convenient to take day trips from this location as well; up Old Mission Peninsula for wine tasting, fabulous views, visited the Lighthouse. as well as Leelanau Peninsula which is much larger, wine tasting, distillery, beaches, shopping, M22, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive is a must!
We were comfortable at this home and we would stay again! Thank you Chris for making everything so convenient and easy.
