Convenient & Quiet Place for exploring Traverse City & Sleeping Bear!

Used this lovely home to explore the Traverse City area and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Doesn’t hurt that it’s not far to visit the very popular Moomers dairy farm with outstanding fresh made ice cream!

Fall Break

We have family on Long Lake and this was the perfect location to visit with them. We had enough room for our kids to spread out and the kitchen was well equipped to cook dinner for the entire family.

Stay was nice and cozy for our family vacation! I had family in the area so it was nice to have “tourists”. Location to the lake was nice and boat rental was very easy! If I could ever talk my Buckeye husband into going to “the state up north” we’d for sure be back and use the same rental! The power did go out one night due to a quick storm and the owner contacted us to make sure we were okay and when the power was due to come back on so that was great! 10/10 stay

Charming cottage across from the lake

Plenty of comfortable space for our family of four. We’ve been renting houses/condos through Vrbo for 15 years and I have never seen a better stocked kitchen! Loved using the grill for local whitefish and fire pit for s’mores at sunset. Audrey was wonderful to work with and we hope to return in the future!

It all starts with the host...Audrey was amazing and very helpful. This was my 1st experience like this and I can't wait to do it again. We were close to everything we needed within 15-20 minutes. The decor of the home was great and you can tell that alot of thought came into this home. I would recommend this home for anyone its amazing!

Very Relaxing Time in TC

We had a wonderful time at this place last week in TC. The house was extremely clean and the owner had excellent communication. The area is so quiet and lovely. It is also very close to anything you want to do i.e. golfing, shopping, movies, Moomers, etc. The beach is a 1/4 mile walk but, it is a nice area for the kids to play when you arrive there. No complaints. We had an excellent time!

Nice, big house

The limit of 6 people is the only downfall as the house would definitely fit more. Loved the fact that the master suite in the basement had the jacuzzi tub.

Lovely stay near the lake

This is a very comfortable, clean home with access to Long Lake. We cooked almost every night of our stay in a kitchen that has all the amenities. My son and daughter-in-law and their twin children stayed downstairs which was perfect for them. The host provided toys for the children which they enjoyed playing with. Our communication with the host was excellent. She was extremely helpful. We really enjoyed our stay in beautiful Traverse City.

Lovely home but not set up for seniors....lower level ( basement) was beautiful but the steep highly polished steps were a challenge especially with the no shoes policy listed on every door..it was convenient to our wedding venue and the owner responded immediately to a question..

Girls Weekend

We were looking for something out of the way and quiet and that's exactly what we found. The house is adorable and well maintained. Bigger than we expected with all the modern appliances and absolutely everything we could possibly need or want was there. The beds were comfortable and bedding was high quality. We loved the fireplace and appreciated it during the cool nights even in September. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could ever need and then some. Audrey has literally thought of everything and was available for us if we needed her via text. Will definitely stay there again and again.

Wine and relaxation

Came to the area for the first time looking to do some wine tasting. Found this property and it looked to be in a great location - close enough to enjoy the wineries and downtown Traverse City, but remote enough to be quiet and relaxing at the end of the day. Owner was amazing to work with, house was very clean, comfortable (I’m a bit of a mattress snob and slept great) and it had everything we needed in the kitchen etc. Covid caused some adjustments to standard procedures, but everything was communicated ahead of time and there were no surprises! Great trip…even if we had to cut it short because of an injury. Would definitely stay here again!

Good location for getting in and around the TC area. Just far enough away to be peaceful after a full day of activities.

Girl’s Trip!

Stayed three nights (11/07-11/09), at this immaculate, cozy , fully equipped charmer. Loved everything about this home. Loved the no shoes policy. Cleanliness was definitely a plus. Friendly neighbors gave us a history of the islands and the Peninsula during our wintry hike to the lake! Beautiful area. Fabulous home. Great owner! Plenty of room . Would definitely stay again! Also, pictures don’t do it justice. Really beautiful home. Audrey was great and everything went as planned.

Weekend Stay

Wonderful experience! We were in town for a weekend soccer tournament. We had 4 adults and 2 children for the stay and the house had plenty of space. The house is adorable, comfortable, and very clean! We had everything we needed for a nice weekend stay. The owner, Audrey, was helpful and great at communicating. We would definitely stay at this house again in the future.
