The Perfect Getaway *Sleeps 4 *Pet Friendly *Traverse City *Crystal Mountain
PLEASE NOTE: The road in front of our property, US 31 is undergoing repairs from 4.01.06 to 11.1.06. Only West bound traffic will be allowed, easy detour for guests traveling from the East.There will be delays and noise, they are required to keep our drive open at all times. So if you heading towards a Traverse City location there will be a detour to the East first. Just want all guests to be aware of the situation. Sleeps 4 This amazing house was conceived with vacation travelers in mind. Yes we are pet friendly! This house is a Duplex, but every thing is separate except for the dock at the lake that is shared, and I might add is very soundproof! You’ll love this gem of a place because of location. We are close to numerous activities & great restaurants. Our vacation home is located on 16 acre private Lake, right off of US 31, just 1/2 mile from the traffic light in Interlochen. ONLY 26 miles to the Sleeping Bear Dunes 13 miles to Traverse City 3 miles from Interlochen Arts Academy 17 miles to Crystal Mountain
This special property features 2 separate units that are not connected internally aka a Duplex . Here are a few things people love about The Perfect Getaway #1 Location, 5 minutes to the World renowned Interlochen Arts Academy, 20 minutes to Traverse City, 26 miles to the Sleeping Bears Dunes National Park, 17 miles to Crystal Mountain, 3 miles to the Blue Bridge Events Centre, 1/2 mile to Interlochen Golf course, 30 miles to The Homestead. Also our vacation home is located on 16 acre private Lake, right off of US 31, just 1/2 mile from the traffic light in Interlochen.
#2 Our house is newly remodeled, the unit is air conditioned for those warm summer days, great effort has went into sound proofing one side from the other, this is what a recent guest had to say (The way the duplex is set up your privacy is not compromised at all. In fact I would of never known we had a neighbor unless I saw their car. We did not hear a peep. Gaea)
#3 The yard, patio & lake are awesome since it allows you to enjoy the best days of summer outside and grill to your heart's delight with the grill and boat found there!
#4 Screened in Gazebo down by the lake.
Here are 3 THINGS TO CONSIDER before renting. #1 No parties are permitted in our house or property at all times during your stay.
#2 Our house is nice but its not perfect for all people, even though we have put lots of effort into this place there are always small what seem like trivial issues to most that really upset others such as, this is a Duplex, there is not a bathtub we have a stand up shower. There is a step up to get into the house. home is located right off of US 31, Etc
#3 We ask all our guests to respect the neighbors and to not be loud or yell or play loud music inside and outside the building at all times during their stay. We expect our Guests to be quiet after 11:00PM. So if you intend to behave like a party animal, our place is not for you but if you intend to behave like a resident, you should love your stay. Now that this is clear, let's get to the description of the place!

House was super clean! This was the perfect setup for us to experience our first cherry festival as well as sleeping bear dunes.
Beautiful, clean home that had everything we would ever need for our stay. So convenient to Interlochen and Traverse City
We loved our stay! It was a perfect location to visit Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes. The house was stocked with everything we needed and was very comfortable and clean.
We stayed here while traveling to Traverse City for an event. We loved that it is close to Traverse City but has a nice secluded feel. Located on a small lake, our Labradors had a chance to do some swimming. Very clean, wi-fi, all amenities needed are provided.

Great location for concerts at Interlochen. Good access to grocery store and restaurants, really appreciated the listing of local restaurants provided by the host. Nice to have the gas grill for when we ate in.
We came in primarily for a concert at Interlochen and the location to the venue was great. Had lots of dining choices nearby and was close to Lake Michigan for sightseeing and beaches. Overall very satisfied.
Super cute and convenient location. And we appreciated the little extra touch of a Christmas tree since we were staying close to the holiday and celebrating with family in the area. Communication with host was fast and easy.
Very comfortable. Slept well. Fan in closet was helpful. Super clean. Lake is just a small pond but peaceful looking. I would recommend a bathroom sink with space to set a few items.
Great location, easy to find. Perfect for two people for the night. It was clean and as shown online. ONLY suggestion is to have a veggie peeler and some knives that are NOT serrated. Other than that, it was great!!!

Jeff is a fantastic host! I rented out this property an a couple of his others close by for family and friends and it was so easy and fun being so close! Having a big yard on the water was so much fun and everything is very well maintained.
Accurate listing and a beautiful outdoor space. Also liked that the rental allowed dogs. Communication with host was quick and easy. And as an added bonus on our last night we had great views of the Northern Lights!
Property in perfect proximity to shopping area and outdoor trails 10-15 min drive at most. Space was clean, only "complaint" was that front door was difficult to shut. All basics available- pots and pans for cooking available- that was a huge help. Space outside provided just enough privacy in proximity to neighbors. This was everything my boyfriend and i needed in a short getaway.
The owner provided delightful accommodations, close to the Interlochen campus where I rehearsed for about a week. The property was well stocked, very clean, very quiet and just perfect for my needs. I will stay there again next year. (I'll bring my fishing equipment next time!)

About the host

I grew up in the Grand Traverse area, in fact my family moved to the area in 1856! I am currently self employed and run this short term rental business. As far as hobbies go I am into boating, snowmobiling and cars! Also I tend to like the arts as you can tell by the designs of the places. As far as places I like to travel to I tend to sway to the West just love it out there.
