About the host

Hosted by Chris Creamer

Host profile image
I grew up in the area and met my wife of 20 years in Buenos Aires Argentina and we have 3 kids together. We know how important a nice family vacation is and the sacrifices it often takes to have a vacation so we want to do everything we can to make your vacation enjoyable. Our family handles everything from the boys mowing the yard to my wife and daughter handling the gardening and all of us pitching in. We are always trying to improve the home. We really appreciate your comments and suggestions.

Why they chose this property

We loved the iconic M-22 and this property as it was just charming and has a great location with bay views and close to TC. We tried to keep that charm while making changes and improvements such as hardwood flooring and a large country (eat-in) kitchen, and furnishings. The rear yard is large, wooded backing up to a hill.(over 1.8 acres) and private. We extensively remodeled and refurnished it, and added all new windows, screens, Air conditioning, and siding. We created a master suite (with sitting area and half bath) on the upper level. Every year we try to add something. Last year we added a white picket fence, French doors and stairs off the kitchen.

What makes this property unique

Minutes to downtown Traverse City and old mission peninsula and all that it has to offer. A few minutes to Harbor Park/Marina where you can launch a boat or enjoy the beach/grills/play area.
West Bay access across the road - take a kayak (two included) and enjoy the waters of West Grand Traverse Bay. 5 bikes included if you want to hit the tart trail, 2 minutes away, or bike to town, Leelanau County has a plethora of wineries for fine wine tasting, countless inland lakes to explore, home of the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes National Park and many other amenities too numerous to mention! You'll run out of time but not things to do. This property has met the strict licensing requirements for Elmwood township including: smoke detectors in all bedrooms, Monoxide detectors on each floor. STR License # 2024-85
