Amazing property/Very helpful host

My family and I stayed at this property for the cherry festival in Traverse City. It’s in a perfect location just outside of town far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet close enough for a few minute drive in town. The pictures don’t do it justice it’s very modern and clean with amazing views off the river. The host John was very knowledgeable and accommodating with anything we needed. Would love to stay at this property again.

Amazing place, great spot on the river. The house was very nice. Great location for fishing and kayaking. Short drive to downtown tc and close to stores. We stayed for work and stayed at places in tc, but this was way nicer because its a great spot on the river with great amenities. For about the same price. Much better than an apartment. The host was great. Would absolutely stay there again
