We enjoyed our stay. Home was clean & comfortable. Our only concern, was the number os steps, which made it challenging for my “aged” parent. Future guests with mobility issues should be aware of thisOtherwise, it was a great experience and we ally the hospitality!

Wonderful Weekend

We stayed two nights and spent a day touring wineries. The rest of the time we spent relaxing at the VRBO site. The spa/hot tub was amazing, the sauna was wonderful and the location on the river was beautiful. We would definitely book another weekend at this property.

Home was beautiful but the fireplace did not work, the spa sauna was not working , ice maker on the refrigerator did not work, game room dart board had only one dart that would work and both Roku sticks did not work. One had to be charged and the other needed batteries replaced which I had to purchase. Home was pricey and I expected everything to be in operating order. A bit disappointed but would live to stay there again sometime.

The kids loved the game room and especially the pool table and we all got use from the hot tub and sauna as well. The property was in a very quiet peaceful area right on the river, but still a quick drive into downtown Traverse City.
