Traverse City Perfection

I've stayed in a number of VRBO rentals and hands down, this home was one of my favorites. The home was exactly as represented and hosts were exceptional, kind and responsive. The location was ideal for horse showing, literally a minute drive or ten minute walk to GLEF. The number of extras this home had was remarkable - a lot of thought and attention to detail was put into getting the home ready for us, including fresh strawberries in the fridge and getting me an extra drying rack for all our lined dry show clothes. It felt like my own home with all the things I would need at my fingertips. Beds and linens were high quality and the two washers/dryers was really awesome. We literally wanted for NOTHING. I look forward to staying in this home again. Thank you to the Nelsons! Perfection.

Why they chose this property

This rental is among the closest to Traverse City Horse Shows, yet it's far enough away (.9 miles) for peace and privacy. The home is well-equipped, yet uncluttered, so you can make the space your own. Past horse show guests have especially loved the dual laundry rooms, the spacious and well-stocked kitchen, and the front porch for grilling/relaxing at the end of a busy day.
