We enjoyed the property very much. It was apparent the host focused on guest comfort and fun (clean, ping pong in the basement, lovely festive backyard). The home is on a highway but positives override this as a concern. The lake is across the road, one and a half baths work very well, and the large garage keeps bikes and cars safe and dry, as well as making loading and unloading easier. I am a big fan of the glass touches throughout the home, especially the glass doorknobs. The host seemed very accessible. Good central location between Traverse City, bike trails, and further north.
