Perfect for two people who want a quiet relaxing getaway, but also just close enough to down town and a lot of other places to explore. 10/10- we had a blast.
The cottage was very clean and well stocked. Maureen greeted us upon arrival and was very welcoming. The property was very peaceful and provided the much needed relaxation we were looking for.

Thank you for staying with us and leaving such a nice review! We would love to have you stay again.
Peaceful, serene getaway just outside of the hustle and bustle of Traverse City! Mike and Maureen are excellent hosts. Hoping to come up again when the weather is a little warmer to take advantage of the lake.
The small house was just what my wife and I needed for our stay. The location was convenient for our travels around the area. The coffee and snacks provided were much appreciated. We especially liked being able to enjoy our bottle of wine by the lake in the evening.
The lakehouse and the lake were the perfect setting for our trip to the Traverse City area. The location is perfect for visiting the many places that we enjoy year after year. Thanks to our hosts for a quiet and peaceful setting to relax and enjoy ourselves. We'll likely return.
