My family and I were looking for places to stay near Traverse City for the Bayshore Marathon over Memorial Day weekend and were ecstatic to have found this place! It was even better than we imagined! The house was spotless, comfortable, and spacious for our group. The open concept, the expansive decks with plenty of chairs and the large master bedroom and bathroom were a bonus and we never felt cramped.We spent most of our time relaxing on the deck enjoying the awesome lake views. We also paddleboarded, kayaked and swam in beautiful Lake Skegemog. There was hardly any traffic on the lake, which made for smooth and calm waters for paddleboarding and kayaking. The area near the end of the dock where we swam was a nice sandy bottom and the water level was perfect at waist high. The drive to Traverse city was a quick 20 minutes and the Meijer about 10 minutes away. The sunrises were also breathtaking! Finally, the extra special touch to this awesome rental was dealing with Amanda, who was so accommodating!
