Peaceful visit
The family stayed here to attend a wedding on the lake. The lake is so special to us. The families have outgrown the cabin and now rent from others on the lake to all come together for holidays or special events.

Loved our stay!
We loved our stay at the cottage! The cottage is clean, modern, and has everything you need. It is so peaceful and quiet. We loved relaxing on the porch - eating meals, reading, playing board games. We enjoyed the ease of lake access, swimming and kayaking! Traverse city is such a beautiful area, easy to access so many delicious restaurants, cute shops, beautiful wineries, and so many fun outdoor activities! Definitely worth the visit :)

Beautiful cottage stay at the lake
We had a great time at the Pura Vida cottage. It was better than the pictures and very clean! Space wise, it was perfect for our family of 5. Our 3 kids loved having the loft upstairs to themselves! The back porch became the favorite spot especially with the rainy weather we had for the week. Overall perfect place to stay central to lots to see and do in the area!

I was so excited when we pulled up to this lovely property. The view of the lake and the surrounding trees offered instant peace. The interior was clean, thoughtfully decorated, and overall welcoming and comfortable. Also, nearly anything you could think of needing or wanting was provided. My husband and I quickly realized we’d like to come back when we could stay a bit longer. Thank you so much for such a wonderful weekend! It’s just what our hearts and souls needed.

Wonderful Cabin on The lake
Property and cabin was very clean and well appointed. From the nice gravel driveway and grass lawn, to the subtle touches inside, this cabin was awesome! The porch is the star of the show, we enjoyed sitting outside watching the lake through the trees or the many birds, deer, animals scurrying in the forest. Used the kayaks and paddle board which was fun. Caught lots of Bass in the lake and used the gas grill to cook at night. Very nice cabin for a couple or two or a small family as the cabin isn’t that big, but it was nice to have the extra bathroom upstairs. Owner was very friendly and was available.

Cozy Charming Private Cottage
This was such a beautiful property sited high above a private lake with steps leading down to the water. We heard loons, owls and spent time bass fishing from the dock … or taking the kayaks and stand up paddle board out around the lake. Our family of five found it very comfortable - a lovely place to relax in the woods or on the water, and minutes away from Traverse City where we could have a great meal at one of the local restaurants (Firefly, Red Ginger, Brasserie Aime were our favorites) and shop the charming downtown storefronts. For our family, this balance of the best of the city and the best of Michigan’s forests and lakes made for a wonderful getaway. DEFINITELY recommend.

Fabulous Lakeside Retreat
The property is delightful, clean and well maintained inside and out. The beautiful lake beckons through lush leafy trees. We ate meals and played board games outside on the lovely shaded porch. Kayaking and swimming are quick and easy right off the dock. Roomy bedrooms, quality bedding, consistent broadband wifi throughout the property handled the family’s web surfing and streaming media with ease. Movies aplenty with LG tv stacked with all the major streaming apps + airplay. One if the best appointed vacation rentals ever. We prepared most meals at home for the week snd were shocked at the quality, quantity and diversity of the cooking utensils, knives, and. containers. Really wonderful location for relaxing and close to stores, restaurants and entertainment. Would highly recommend to couples and families.

Sam, thank you for your wonderful review. We wanted to furnish the cottage as we would like to find a STR rental. When you are away from home and paying to be able to cook your own meals it seems logical that there would be sufficient pans and dishes to do so. It is very much appreciated that you noticed. It pleases us greatly that you enjoyed your stay, found the cottage well equipped, and enjoyed the peace and tranquility that the property offers. You were fabulous guests, and we also appreciate the care and condition you left the property. It was a pleasure to have you and your family, and we hope you will come back and visit us! Thank you!

Traverse City Hide-Away
Wonderful home and we loved being a short drive to town, but also far enough away to feel like we had escaped the crazy summer/Cherry Fest crowd. The home was spotless and stocked with everything you could imagine. True home away from home.
We traveled with our 15 and 12 year old and “grandma” too. Enjoyed grilling one night, a campfire two of the nights - and having access to the owners kayak and paddle board. While there isn’t a true beach (no sand) and lake at shore naturally has leaves from beautiful trees overhead on bottom, that didn’t stop our kids from hopping off the end of the deck or taking a paddle in the kayak. The covered front porch was a great spot for enjoying our morning coffee, a few meals and nightly card games.
This was our first ever VRBO rental and all others after this (in other locations) will have a high bar to compete with! I will definitely look to re-book here the next time our travels bring us to the TC area.

Great cottage close to Traverse City
My family enjoyed our stay at this incredibly cute new cottage close to Traverse City. The pictures represent the home well. It is very clean, has a great open space and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need and more (probably the most well stocked rental we have ever been in). It also had large closet space in both bedrooms which is rare for a rental home.
We loved the property, we spent lots of our evenings out on the expansive patio. Chandler lake is very peaceful. The only thing that would have made it better would be some comfy chairs to hang on (only had table/ wooden chairs and some folding lawn chairs), there are great trees for hammocks though.
You are also only a 15 minute drive from downtown Traverse City. Rachel and Deb were fantastic hosts and available to answer any questions we had.
My only note is for families with small children, while Chandler Lake does have a sandy bottom this part of the lake is forested (lots of leaves and sticks at the shore). We didn’t use the lake, even though the house was WELL stocked with kayaks and canoes. You would definitely need to use water shoes to access the lake. The house has a dock which would allow for swimming but the water is deep; it actually gets very deep very quick. This was not an issue for us as we found a bunch of sandy lake beaches in Traverse - East Beach is a short drive and a great spot. This is not the home if you are looking to spend a couple of lazy days on a beach while your kids wade in the water as there is no shoreline at all.
That being said I would highly recommend this home.

Time away
We typically do beach vacations, but wanted to try the lake life this summer. Our oldest was headed to college the week after we got back, so a lot of chill time was in order. This was a great, relaxing time away from home. Traverse City and surrounding areas could keep you busy all day, every day if you're looking to be busy. If not, waking up and hitting the lake with the provided toys (kayaks and SUP) was a great way to spend the day!! The property owners were so helpful and friendly! We only had a couple questions during our stay, and everything was answered extremely quickly. Definitely recommend staying here!

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Rachel Steelman
Property was purchased in 2019 by family members, Rachel and Randy Steelman, and Deborah and Robert Porter. There was a small dilapidated cabin and outhouse on the property, which needed to be raised. With Randy, our family contractor, and a lot of family sweat equity a new cottage was built. We enjoyed our time planning, cleaning up the lot, rebuilding, and decorating our new cottage. We named the cottage Pura Vida which is a common expression in Costa Rica and means pure or simple life. Felt right to name our cottage in honor of the Costa Rican people who were friendly and gracious hosts.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
Traverse City and the surrounding area boasts many lakes and rivers, but if you are looking for waterfront, and/or peace and quiet that is close to Traverse City, Pura Vida is an excellent choice. Our kitchen is well stocked with all place settings, glassware, wine glasses, baking ware, pots and pans, toaster, coffee pot that can make a full pot or a single cup, cutting boards, cookie sheets, bake ware, etc., and we also provide BBQ tools and s'more sticks! A stackable washer and dryer on site offers an opportunity to wash and dry clothes which allows more space in your suitcase for shopping treasures.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
Please note that while there is 115 feet of private water frontage, the lake meets the land and there is not a true beach. However, the cottage includes 2 kayaks, a canoe, 2 SOP boards and a variety of lifejackets which are free for our guests to use. There is a great sandy and shallow spot on the north west side of the lake which is a quick paddle away, and a good spot for kids to play. Also, the cottage sits at the top of the hill and there is a rope handrail with stairs near the bottom to get to the water. Before the stairs begin, there is a deck with table and chairs overlooking the lake great for enjoying drinks and snacks. The water gets deep quickly from shore, and a ladder is installed at the end of the dock to allow swimmers to get out of the water without returning to shore.
