The location was perfect. It was too cold for water activities, but having campfires on the beach was amazing! The host was extremely nice and accommodating, he even left flowers for us after discovering we were there on our mini-honeymoon. Will definitely keep this spot in mind for future trips!

The place was clean and nice. The owners live in part of the house but we're not there while we were (and the areas are separate). The hot tub was okay and I didnt try the sauna long (could figure it out). The lake view was absolutely amazing and very relaxing. Lots of outdoor amenities on the property. I really enjoyed the stay.

Our third year here and love it more each time. The amenities, the thoughtful stocking of items at the house that make it more comfortable and accommodating, and the continuous upgrades are always so appreciated. It’s our home away from home and you simply can’t beat the beach area at this property!!

Great place, clean and well appointed. Everything you need is in the kitchen. Bathrooms are also well stocked and we appreciated the big box fans for nighttime (even though there is also A/C). The beach area is on the other side of the road but the road is rather quiet and the beach is lovely complete with SUPs, kayaks and a cute gazebo with furniture. It was nice and relaxing for our family.

About the host

Hosted by Aaron

Host profile image
I grew up in metro Detroit, downriver. Graduating from the University of Michigan, and worked with the airlines for 30 years. My time is divided between Traverse city, and metro Detroit. You may find me working on the property, or packing for my next trip, as i am always on the go! I love kayaking, hiking and learning, with a special devotion to yoga.

Why they chose this property

West Grand Traverse Bay is a very powerful body of water. South Lee Point Road holds an energy of welcoming comfort and calm peaceful serenity. The property is surrounded by mature forest of cedar and oak. The crystal clear stream flows year round spilling into the bay, providing a cool aliveness of fresh woodsy wilderness. The cottage is tucked back into the shade of the trees, while the white sandy beach rests in full sun all day.

What makes this property unique

The view from both the family room and kitchen are so amazing! As the trees are as much of the experience as the bay itself.
Other benefits include: use of the gazebo, dock , kayaks , and paddle boards.
