Four adults enjoyed a week at Brody's Camp. We especially appreciated having access to the lake from the backyard and the location was excellent - close enough to Traverse City to get whatever we needed, but far enough to feel like we were out in the countryside.The kitchen as plenty of dishware and cookware but there are a few tools missing, so if you are planning anything that requires specialized equipment, you may want to bring it with you. Overall, though, a very comfortable home in a wonderful setting.

Beautiful and peaceful stay

We stayed at Brody’s Camp for an entire weekend for The Cherry Capitol Cup soccer tournament. The home was beautiful and accommodated our family perfectly. We loved that it was a dog friendly stay, though we ended up not bringing our dogs, I’m sure they would have loved it if we did. The hosts were wonderful and very prompt in their response to any questions or concerns we had. We would love to book again in the future!

Why they chose this property

This property is not just a rental for our family, but rather our monthly get-away to rest and recharge. We hope that you enjoy the tranquil surroundings as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

This property is unique in that it is surrounded by state owned land containing an entire trail system that anyone can enjoy hiking, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, and 4x4 exploring. Rennie lake is a private access, all sports lake for your enjoyment. Additionally, Bass Lake and Spider Lake are just down the road with public access for additional fishing a/o lake activities. Brody's Camp is conveniently located just outside Traverse City where you can enjoy shopping, restaurants, festivals, bike trails, breweries, and the "Napa Valley" of the Midwest! Although Summer is our most popular season, don't forget to visit in the fall for the beautiful color explosion and the winter for activities such as snowmobiling on the trail system, 2 ski resorts in T.C, and less than an hour to Boyne/Cadillac ski areas.
