Perfect Location

This place was exactly what me and my family were looking for. There were so many things to do within 20 minutes but the cabin was great too so there wasnt a need to be anywhere else.

Peaceful place to stay

We loved it. It was fun going on the lake with the boats and playing the yard games and sitting around the fire in the evenings. It’s a great location to stay for dune and TC outings as well.

Great little cottage!

The cottage was really nice! Welcoming, comfortable and the little touches were so thoughtful. Wine, cookies, smore supplies, etc were appreciated. We've stayed at quite a few vrbo's and most don't do things like that. The view of the lake and quiet atmosphere were much needed. We would recommend Witz End for a nice relaxing stay!

Quiet!!

Lovely, quiet location and the lake was perfect for my husband to fish and my children and dog to swim in!! It was really fun to see all the turtles! We loved the outdoor ladder golf game and fire pit under the string lights. Would definitely stay there again if we make it back up to Interlochen. Thank you!!

Our family absolutely LOVED this property! Directions were easy to follow and close to many activities. Check-in and out was simple. Place was well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms! Beautifully designed and decorated. Easily accommodated 6 adults. Washer and dryer made it easy to not come home with a suitcase full of dirty laundry. We enjoyed the lake somehow everyday, from morning and/or night fishing, floating around on the dock, or kayak races. Definitely recommend!

Hubby and I came up from down state for a week of peace. We brought one of our pups along. It was a glorious week! We started by doing absolutely nothing the first few days. Eventually we day tripped the 30-ish minutes to Sleeping Bear Dunes. On the same day trip we decided to keep heading north to Leland, grabbed some lunch at The Bluebird and visited Fishtown. Still feeling adventurous, we continued north to Grand Traverse Lighthouse. Bringing us 1.5hrs back to the Cabin, windows open, fans on, happy pup awaiting, made for a great last evening. Witz End is on a fabulous location. It's close enough yet still just far enough away from everything! You can get to TC in 20mins, major tourist attractions in as little as 20-30mins or you can stay at the cabin and enjoy the watersports (water was too cool for us), fires, outdoor games or just RELAXING! It's such a beautiful location, we hope to be back!

Beautiful property

We stayed here for five nights in July, the weather was perfect almost the entire time to sit out on the dock and to have a fire in the evening. The host responded quickly to our text and were kind to let us have some family over for a fire. Location was great for all the recreation we wanted to do. We would definitely stay here again. As far as cons, the house could really use a deep clean, there were spider webs behind the toilet, in the corners etc, and the floors needed mopped good.Also a light above the kitchen sink is needed.

Sweet quiet cabin

We stayed with our senior pups with medical issues. The cabin was wonderful and peaceful and no stairs that I had to worry about for the pup. The boats and kayaks were great for exploring the little lake and lots of small fish were caught. The firepit was great and we made smores which I havent had in years. Bed was very comfortable. All the little extras provided were very much appreciated. Location was good to get to many different sight seeing spots in any direction. Will book again when we travel back to the state.

Lots of fun for families and the fish bite!

Our 4 kids and their cousins fished, swam, boated, and played in the yard while the adults enjoyed the fire and sunroom. The lake is very small with a mucky bottom, but the kids caught so many fish with the provided gear. Clean and well appointed. We definitely recommend this property! Be aware that there are no blankets/comforters provided and the grill isnt in great shape (that wasnt a huge deal, but a nicer grill would offset the lack of a stove).

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage! It was the perfect size for us and a great place to spend the long weekend. The location was perfect—close enough to easily get to Traverse City and explore the area, but still secluded enough to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it!

This home was exactly what my family needed. The paddle boat and row boat were great for the kids. They did swim some but water was still chilly. There were lots of yard games and board games to use which was nice to keep them busy. My personal favorite was the 5 seasons room! We also loved that it was pet friendly. Host was very attentive and easy to get in contact with.

Anniversary Getaway

This place was special. We loved it, the dogs loved it, and we had such a peaceful and relaxing vacation. The lake is tiny and absolutely gorgeous. The dogs loved to go for a swim bday we even took the rowboat out once to get a better look at the fall colors. We hardly saw another human being from the neighboring properties the entire week we were there, and that was perfect for us. The house was small, but cozy. The only thing missing was a stovetop and oven, but we brought a hot plate and that worked just fine. The small fenced in potty area for the dogs was something I didn’t realize they had until we got there, and it was such a relief to not have to go outside with the dogs or put them on tie outs every time. Privacy, seclusion, dog friendly, nature, and yet close to so many great things in the area. I honestly just wish we were buying the house next door. We loved it here and will absolutely be back.

Beautiful cabin on the lake

We had a fantastic time at this rental! Great little cabin, beautiful lake, and lots of wildlife to be spotted. They had all the amenities including a row boat and kayaks which we used several times and greatly enjoyed. The fire pit was awesome and we enjoyed the outdoor seating area. The inside was small but very comfortable, with a comfy bathroom. Great kitchen even for not having a stove- the full size fridge and freezer was great compared to other options we had looked at. Leah was very communicative, responsive, and helpful. We are looking forward to staying there again sometime!
