About Chris Fredrickson
A (helpful) brother, (prodigal) son, (considerate) roommate, (savvy) business partner, (always improving) golfer and (versatile) management consultant.
I spend a lot of time traveling for work and play. I spend a few weeks a year out west in the mountains and a few more exploring (scuba) dive sites around the world. I've become the type of person that thrives on spontaneity and never passes on the chance to create a memorable story. You want to hike the Great Wall next week? GREAT, let's do it!
I pride myself on courtesy and consideration and make every effort to keep those around me comfortable (when dining with a big group, I'm the guy that pays attention to seating arrangement, ensuring a good flow of conversation, not leaving anyone out.)
Why Chris Fredrickson chose Sleeping Bear Dunes
The Neighborhood
Out in the wilderness - on a clear night you can see all trillion stars. Oh, and it's very, very quiet.
What makes this cottage unique
FROM TRAVERSE CITY:
- The approximate commuting time from Traverse City depends purely on traffic but generally takes between 18 and 25 minutes.
- The home is situated across the street from a century old barn in a large rye field.
- We've added a fire pit, grill and lounge chairs to aid in your relaxing holiday.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We had an absolutely fantastic stay from start to finish staying at Chris' charming cottage. There was excellent communication from the very beginning and they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. We arrived very late at night and upon arrival there were fresh flowers in every room, a bottle of wine, doughnuts and cookies and fresh local coffee. The cottage is ideally situated for exploring Sleeping Bear, a short drive from Empire itself and 15 minutes to the main Dunes. I highly recommend staying here if you are thinking of visiting the area.

Quiet, nicely appointed cottage.
The cottage is very charming, surrounded by beautiful landscape. Inside is nicely decorated giving a clam relaxing affect. We had a wonderful time staying there.
Charming cottage
Our family stayed here and it felt like home. The cottage was very clean and the host was very accommodating with nice surprises throughout our stay. All the Cabin Rules were followed to relax, make memories, laugh, sleep in, watch the sunset, count the stars and many more. Had a great stay and would go back!!
Adorable, relaxing vacation rental. Absolutely perfect!!!
Chris is a delightful, friendly host. The rental was in a lovely, peaceful location and it was the perfect size. Everything about it was delightful and well maintained from the lovely decor to all the unexpected surprises, like a nice bottle of wine and even blueberry muffins for the morning. Perfect place for family and friends to visit and my kitty and I had a super, delightful, fun, relaxing time!!! Could not have been better!!! I hope to return often!
Clean and comfortable
Chris was a wonderful host. The cottage was ready for us which included wine and breafast! We had a great 5 days. It's very retro, tastefully furnished and that was fun. Could use some outdoor living space that's not just grass.
Great spot for an up north Michigan stay!
As soon as you walk in to the cottage you feel right at home. The space inside is great and cozy. You have everything you need for a relaxing stay as well as so close to the beach and nearby Traverse city for when you want to explore. The outdoor space is quiet and peaceful and beautiful with the surrounding nature. Definitely would recommend.
