We were a group of 3 couples from Ohio and Kentucky visiting to enjoy the lake, cooler weather, and all the area offers in the way of vacation activies. The property by the lake exceeded our expectations! The place was exactly as advertised and true to the pictures online. The check in process was very easy with a lockbox, and we found the property very clean. And given that one of us is OCD about cleanliness, that's really saying something! The kitchen is well stocked for having meals in and also stocked with some grocery items. The backyard overlooking the lake was definitely the place to be, and we all spent a great deal of time on the deck, the dock and around the firepit. The property is close to many area attractions including Traverse City, Suttons Bay, Leland, etc. The equipment in the shed is good quality, kayaks, bikes, water floats, lawn chairs, etc. The bike trail is just down the road which is so convenient! We also enjoyed being very close to Farm Club and Shady Lane Winery! Last but certainly not least, David was very responsive to my inquiries so this was much appreciated! We will definitely be back!
