About the host
Hosted by Amanda
I'm a Traverse City native with a passion for improving the quality of properties in my local community and creating tranquil retreats where friends and family can gather. We have young children, which can make staying in hotel rooms pretty cramped and uncomfortable. If you've ever tried getting a toddler to nap in the same room as their siblings, you know what I mean! So I started brainstorming how to make traveling more relaxing and a better experience for families and friends to get together, especially in such a beautiful place as northern Michigan. The solution? I invest in single-family vacation rentals, giving families the space to spread out, and friends an opportunity to meet up and vacation together.
The properties that I offer are close to the best parts of northern Michigan, so guests spend less time in the car and more time enjoying the water, parks, eateries and wineries that make this place so unique and rejuvenating.
When you stay at one of our properties, know that you aren't lining the pockets of someone in a stuffy suit across the country. Instead, you are supporting a young, female entrepreneur raising their family locally, who is excited to share with you this beautiful place they call home.
