Great location. Beach area is beautiful. Wonderful gathering space in the house. Host had excellent communication. Would have been helpful to know about the walk through bedroom. Cleanliness needs a little work.

The location is very nice and the host responded quickly to any question,. The house needs to be updated and cleaned better. The road in front is very busy to cross over to the beach but we enjoyed our stay.

We were in Traverse City for a wedding and stayed for four nights. The house is perfectly laid out so that there’s privacy for everyone. The yard and the beach are absolutely amazing! You literally 10 minutes from downtown Traverse City and about 20 minutes from Sutton’s Bay. The house was spotless and everything you can possibly need is stocked. The communication from the property owner was stellar. Very responsive and very helpful. The highest recommendation I can give is to say that we are definitely going to book it again next year. I have been renting with VRBO since they started a couple of decades ago and this property was definitely in my top five.

Perfect house for our group!

We had a family group of 9 adults and 1 infant. We loved having 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Plenty of space to fit our needs and spread out. Property is close to wineries and breweries we visited. Also several fishing areas close to house. Nice backyard space! If in the area again, we would certainly like to stay here.

The house was nice, but there were several amenities that were lacking. Firstly, please let your guests know that the beach may appear sandy, but in fact it is very rocky! you could not go in the water without water shoes. It would have been nice to know this is advance. Next the bath towels. I'm sorry but when I'm spending 4500 to stay a house, I expect things to seem fairly new. The towels seemed to be 20yrs old. They were very ratty. Lastly, We are a family that likes to cook. If you are the same way, bring your own knives. The only "chopping" knives she had were steak knives and a very dull small paring knife that didn't cut a thing. Oh and be prepared to live out of your suitcase. Lots of beds, one in every corner, but not a single dresser for drawers to put things in.

Friends wine trip - 9 adults

Plenty of room for 4 couples and one additional adult. Worked perfect for pick up for our wine tour but also a great spot to hangout when the tour was done. We had space in the house, enjoyed the beach across the street, and also had a fire in the back yard. We would definitely stay here again!

Traverse City Dream Stay

Our stay was as good as we could have imagined since the 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths were the perfect accommodation for 4 couples. The fenced in yard was ideal for the dog and the lake across the street made the location even that much more fun. We had a fire by on the beach or in the backyard every evening. We hope to stay there again since we travel to TC more than once per year.

Overall a good property. Able to accommodate us all. House has a bit of an odd layout and is somewhat rustic but it still worked for all 8 of us. Even though it’s a busy road the view of the lake was just beautiful.
