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!

Perfect

We enjoyed everything about this house. It was in a perfect location to enjoy the wineries, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, and surrounding cities. The hot tub was a plus along with the fireflies. The house was very clean and seemed brand new. We had an easy checkin and checkout. Thanks Blake.

Fantastic customer service!! The kitchen had a Keurig coffee maker (huge plus), with plenty of K-Cups for two people. However, we ended up with four people (two more than the original reservation), and needed more coffee. Not wanting to drive back to a store, I messaged Blake, who arrived in about ten minutes, bearing lots of extra K-Cup pods!! Very impressed! We loved everything about the property and would not hesitate to recommend Blake as a host.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great Place to Stay and Explore the Traverse City Area

We had a wonderful stay at this home for our "mystery trip" with friends. The house was very clean, well supplied and conveniently located for us to explore the Leelanau Peninsula, Old Mission Peninsula, Traverse City, Maple City and the Glen Arbor/Empire area. We enjoyed a wonderful bonfire after our full day out and found the house to be very comfortable. Blake was a great host and he got back to us very quickly with answers to any questions we had.

Perfect Up North Place to Stay!

Hard to imagine there is a better place to stay for a trip up north. Close enough to anything you could want to do but far enough away to enjoy a peaceful and private night around the fire. The property was strikingly clean when first entering. It truly felt like the owners thought of everything that could be needed. We spent our trip being away golfing most of the time and wished we would have set a day aside to enjoy the home more. We cant wait to book another trip here!

Best experience I have had with a vrbo!

We had such a wonderful time! This is a perfect spot for anyone: romantic getaway, friends, or bringing your family. This location was perfect. It had a country feel with the backyard but we were only 15 minutes to downtown. The house was clean and organized. The host had a binder with all of the information we needed and was quick to respond. They had AC units keeping the temp perfect the whole stay. The beds were so comfortable. The hot tub was wonderful. We had no issues or complaints. We will absolutely stay here again.
