House was clean with simple floorplan making it easy to move about. Hot tub is fairly easy to use, A mechanical cover unit would be a plus.Plenty of closet space and necessary household items (towels, kitchen equip etc) Centrally located to many attractions /restaurants in Traverse city and around the county area.Driveway / parking reasonably clear of snow. A Challenge in winter for sure.Would recommend for small family and / or group of friends.

This place was great! My son and I were road tripping through Northern Michigan and needed a cool spot for our Traverse City / Leelanau Cty adventures. Super relaxing home in a beautiful country setting. The hot tub was great and we did s'mores by the campfire at night. It's a short easy drive to/from TC. I wish we stayed longer! We'll definitely be back!

Great Home Base For Girls Trip

Had a great stay at Blake's place in Cedar! The house was fantastic and the perfect home base for our girls trip up north. The hot tub was the perfect temp and it got just cold enough at night to enjoy a fire. I highly recommend this location and hope to visit again!

Really enjoyed the quiet area. Accommodations suited our family of four so each young adult had a room to sneak away. The outdoor area provided a great hot tub and fire pit that we used during our stay.

Peaceful Property

Our family had a great stay in Cedar, Michigan! The property is very clean and beautiful! The location is great as you are close to Traverse City and Good Harbor Bay Beach. This would be a place our family would love to stay at again and the owner was very responsive to questions and just checking in during our stay.

40th Birthday Celebration

The house was immaculate and decorated beautifully. The hot tub was wonderful and the views of the changing fall colors around us was a bonus. The house is located near wineries and they were easy to get too. I have stayed at several properties and this one was exceptional.

Absolutely beautiful and superbly cleaned property. Had an awesome stay. Loved the benefit of the hot tub for a morning and late night soak. Great location only 15 mins to several beaches and Leland. Loved Moomers and Boone Long Lake Inn. 9 Bean Rows had great pastries. Look forward to booking again in the winter.highly recommend.

Friends 40th birthday celebration

Wooded Tranquil Retreat was perfect for our weekend away to celebrate a 40th birthday. We enjoyed the nearby wineries and restaurants during the day and were able to relax in the hot tub and by the fire at night. The host was attentive and quickly responded to any question I had. The house was clean & cute! Would definitely book again in the future.

This is a pretty new and very nice house. The location is rural as noted it its description,but is very convenient and quick to get to TC as well as Lake Michigan, Grand Traverse Bay, and the peninsulas. There's a nice winery very close to the property. Blake was quick to respond to any messaging and provided us with some good recommendations for some of the things we wanted to do. The hot tub was a hit! The only reason we did not rate this as a 5 is that the water heater did not seem to be adequate for a party of 5 adults.
