The Hilltop Hideaway was even better than we thought it would be! It was clean, newly updated and quietly nestled by woods away from the busy road. Our host John was very informative and quick to answer any questions we had. Our only confusion was the direction about where the mail boxes were. We would love to stay there again sometime!

A nice house just outside of Traverse City. Was easy to get downtown and the beach area. The furniture and appliances worked well. A nice big TV in the family room and lots of games to play.

About the host

Hosted by John B

Host profile image
Growing up in a beachfront town, he loves to swim and spend time playing beach volleyball.

As a high school junior he jumped at the opportunity to work on the beach for a local jet ski rental eventually working his way into a management role. His passion for boating grew through his college years as he became an avid wakeboarder. John then spent several years working with families and children as a local math teacher.

This background lends itself well to the customer service, now he can frequently be seen as the morning sun rises, with a smile on his face and his toes in the sand!

Why they chose this property

This spacious 2.5 acre property has long captivated my attention. Nestled just outside of downtown it makes the perfect place to live while being minutes from everything.

What makes this property unique

Whatever season suits you there is something for everyone for almost every outdoor sport for every season. This bungalow will allow you to be close to the downtown action but not constantly fighting traffic and crowds.
