Fourteen friends (7 couples) stayed 6 nights in August, 2026 and the home was very comfortable for us. We sat on the large deck every night to play games, cooked several dinners in the well equipped kitchen, and had plenty of room for the drinks and food we brought with us too. The location was perfect too - we brought our bikes and were able to access the TART trail just down the street. We were able to drive to other locations easily, including downtown Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Charlevoix and more. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Traverse Bay location

We so enjoyed the beautiful, well stocked, and spacious house. The owners were very helpful and excelled in communicating. We went to the beaches, lighthouse, downtown and wineries. We all had a great time!

We took an extended family of 9 adults to TC for the week and had a wonderful experience with this property and our hosts. Everyone commented at how clean and comfortable the property is, being spacious and very well located. The kitchen is well equipped (regular coffee pot and a Keurig as well) with a large selection of kitchen gadgets. There is enough room for several people to prepare food at one time. A large coffee table in the living room saw a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle completed and the generous back deck was maximally used. Highly recommend, would happily stay again.

Perfect spot to stay with a group, great location in TC

This place was perfect! The house was exactly like the pictures and very clean. Came here with a group of guys for a golf trip and it was the perfect location. The backyard was very nice and we really enjoyed it. Michael was very responsive and accommodating. He left a very nice welcome package for me and the group to enjoy. I would definitely recommend!

Perfect location and home for all 14 of us!

Our host did an excellent job of making sure we had everything we needed. The kitchen drawers were labeled so it was easy to find what we needed to prepare meals. Pantry had some basic ingredients. We received an on-line guide book that had detailed instructions and information which was fantastic! The outside patio was a wonderful place to relax, visit and watch the kids play. All of us enjoyed watching a family of deer run and frolic in the evening! Definitely would come back here!

Perfect Location for Work Trip

We stayed at this beautiful home near Traverse City for a work trip, and it was absolutely perfect for our needs. Our team of educators was in town for a conference, and this home provided the ideal setting to both collaborate and unwind.There was ample space for everyone to feel comfortable, and the layout allowed us to spend quality time developing long-term goals while also enjoying time together outside of the conference. The location is fantastic—close to everything we needed but still quiet and peaceful.The house was clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the host went above and beyond with a personalized welcome package and thoughtful touches throughout the home. Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish—they were responsive, helpful, and welcoming.Highly recommend this property for both professional and personal stays—we’ll definitely be back if we’re in the area again!
