Great, clean, beautiful location. Close to traverse city but also a great spot to have a nice night in and enough the outdoors in the spacious backyard.
Great spot! Loved the privacy and peace and quiet of the location. Easy drives to sleeping bear, traverse city, etc. Hosts were super attentive-really couldn’t ask for more :)
Super cute place, very clean and modern and it was even better in person. The host was nice and responsive; the wine was great. It was exactly what we had hoped for – a quiet spot in the country but still close enough to TC and Sleeping Bear Dunes. The perfect getaway!
This property was awesome! The hosts thought of everything to make our stay feel like home. The hot tub was most enjoyable and clean. The whole house was very clean and comfortable. We would 10/10 recommend this place!! Close to Traverse City too!
This place was exactly what we wanted. It was even better than the pictures. Very clean! Very friendly and accommodating owners. I would definitely go back.

Thank you so much for the nice review. You two were wonderful to host & we look forward to your return!
We loved our stay here. The house is adorable and super clean. It was perfect for our family of 4. Conveniently located near Traverse City but far enough out that feels like your relaxing in nature. Has everything you would need. The hosts are also the nicest hosts we have ever had. Very thoughtful and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again and can highly recommend this place to others :)

Thank you Courtney for such a nice review. We are so happy that your family enjoyed staying in the bungalow.
My friends and I were in town for a wedding and this was the perfect place for us. We could not stop talking about how perfect this place was for the 3 of us. Very clean and the ambience was very relaxing. Our host was amazing and very thoughtful as well! From the wine she left as a gift, to the personal texts, she was just so fantastic! Thank you for the wonderful memories!
My friends and I stayed one night here the night before the Bayshore marathon. We were looking for a spot that was close enough to the race, but not right in town. This property is absolutely adorable! The hosts have put a lot of thought into making their guests feel at home. The hot tub was such a nice addition. The property is very clean and well maintained. The full kitchen and multiple showers were super helpful for the three of us. We will definitely be coming back!

Thank you for the nice review and for choosing to stay in our bungalow Jennifer. You are welcome back anytime!
The place was so cute and modern. They thought of the smallest details. It is a country, private little getaway. It took us about 20 minutes to get to dinner and 45 minutes to hike at Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

Thank you for the nice review Alicia! We love hearing what you liked about our place, and that you were able to hike the dunes while you were visiting.
The only downside is I thought it was a bit closer to downtown traverse city but we still had so much fun!
They thought of everything and it was so cute!
The hosts responded to texts and were super helpful when needed. If we could, we would stay here again!

Thank you for the great review! We would love to have you back again.
We enjoyed our stay. Sadly not really built for 2 adults in separate rooms. Second “room” is the size of a large closet. Very cramped and hard to sleep in. Great for two people sharing same bed. Or small kids in second room. Not so great for two adults in two sep rooms.
