Just like home

This is a very comfortable house, with plenty of room for a family to spread out. Large fenced yard gave our dog — and a visiting friend — a good workout, running around! Ideal location for access to the Leelanau bike trail, Suttons Bay, and Traverse City. The Lakeview Farm Market is just down the road and carries both their own produce and that of other local farmers/artisans, and Farm Club, too, very accessible and fun. Carolyn is a responsive, friendly host

The property was perfect for our family vacation. They also provided some items that most VRBO homes do not so that was a nice surprise. There were a few items the kitchen lacked for cooking (no sauce pan or measuring cup) but we cooked every day in the kitchen and enjoyed the backyard, grilling, games and firepit. The beds were comfortable. The washer & dryer worked perfect so we didnt have to leave with dirty laundry. Plenty of room for us to relax and unwind. This home is not right on the lake, but you can walk to the boat launch. The home does not have neighbors close by so it was very quiet. We hope to return next summer!

Great family getaway

This property is in excellent shape. Very clean and well kept. Great backyard for the dog and plenty of space for everyone to have quiet time. I would highly recommend this property. This is our second time at this location and hope to come back next year. Our granddaughter calls it her Michigan home. She also enjoyed playing with the bubble lawnmower. Great location to the tart trail and quaint little towns.

Visit for a Family Wedding

Had an absolutely amazing stay! The location is perfect - slightly secluded and very relaxing. But still close to all the fun wineries and activities in Traverse City and Sutton Bay. We were in town for a family wedding, but I would go back just to visit and enjoy the town more. Carolyn was an excellent host and quick to respond. Had a lovely time!

Perfect rental in Leelanau!

This house is even bigger and nicer than the photos show. The kitchen includes everything you need to cook, utensil-wise. I had brought some items from home, like a veggie peeler and wine opener, but the house had everything. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. Plenty of towels! There's a nice washer and dryer available, so you don't need to pack too many clothes. The location is great for doing "all the things" in the Leelanau area! We hiked at Empire Bluff, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and several other nearby parks. The views are spectacular. We visited the lighthouse at Northport, several wineries, Fishtown, and it's only 12 minutes into downtown Traverse City. Tip: Don't miss the Farm Club restaurant down the road! Fabulous fresh, local food!

Wonderful Stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house has many renovations, and they were done beautifully. Plenty of space for everyone to space out, and yet gather together for games and hanging out. There were 2 family rooms which is great for those who need a place for sports watching in one room, and movies in another😊. Owner is sweet, and responsive to all communications in a very quick manner. House is located within 20 mins of Traverse City, Leland, and Suttons Bay. About 30 mins to the dunes. Highly recommend!
