The property reminded my wife of her Girl scout experience at winter camp (log cabin.) All the beds were large and comfortable, plenty of hot water and a great view to see the sunrise. It's a shame that it was so cloudy the entire time that we didn't get to see it though, but the host was very understanding about us having to leave a day early due to the winter storm.

Perfect house for our group!

We had a family group of 9 adults and 1 infant. We loved having 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Plenty of space to fit our needs and spread out. Property is close to wineries and breweries we visited. Also several fishing areas close to house. Nice backyard space! If in the area again, we would certainly like to stay here.

We had a wonderful stay. The home suited us very well. Our two sons were there with their wives and a total of three grandchildren (one 3-year-old, two 5-year-old twins). There are five bedrooms total in three clusters (two 2-bedrooms with bathrooms, one 1-bedroom with bathroom) so it was easy to keep some distance during naps, bedtime, etc. Two dishwashers and a fenced backyard for play outside were also pluses.

We were in Traverse City for a wedding and stayed for four nights. The house is perfectly laid out so that there’s privacy for everyone. The yard and the beach are absolutely amazing! You literally 10 minutes from downtown Traverse City and about 20 minutes from Sutton’s Bay. The house was spotless and everything you can possibly need is stocked. The communication from the property owner was stellar. Very responsive and very helpful. The highest recommendation I can give is to say that we are definitely going to book it again next year. I have been renting with VRBO since they started a couple of decades ago and this property was definitely in my top five.
