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.

Our Host was amazing. The accommodations were perfect, we had everything we needed to cook in or out, the rooms were great and slept very well. Rooms and bathrooms were super clean! Whenever I had a question the host answered back quickly. All we had to do is tidy up and clean a few dishes, empty the trash with no quibble. An awesome stay and weekend -Quiet and peaceful for sure.

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!
