Host very responsive, place clean with everything we needed, extremely easy check in and a nice, quiet neighborhood. Nice welcome gift basket left by host was a nice touch.
We love this cottage! We stayed 10 days and it had everything we needed for a great trip. We fished and explored the area. The hosts are very nice and we appreciated the treat basket too. We will come again, so peaceful and nice.
Wonderful getaway location for the family to enjoy quiet lake vacation but with Traverse City and so mich to do near by. Loved the playground set being right there for my 4 year old kiddo to run out and play each morning. Would definitely stay again!
Mary did an awesome job! We loved our rental. It was extremely clean and inviting. The check in process was very easy.We would recommend this property to anybody. Thank you!
It has become a yearly tradition for many years to stay at this lovely cottage. Mary is a wonderful and thoughtful host. The cottage was immaculate, well appointed, and the location is ideal on a quiet lane, just a short walk from a beautiful lake and just a few minutes from downtown Traverse City and other points of interest nearby.
The cottage on a quiet lane just steps to a beautiful lake was delightful. The cottage was extremely clean, comfortable, and well appointed. We had great communication with the property manager and greatly enjoyed our stay.

Why they chose this property
Have you ever wanted to go back to that time when you were a kid and relive an awesome memory? This cottage brings back the fond memories of my grandmother’s summer cottage at a lake near Ann Arbor, MI. I have the BEST summer memories of lazy days and fun with my family away from the city (Detroit). This cottage brings those memories back to life for me. I'm hoping that you and your family/friends can create some of those same memories while staying with us!
