About this property

The Perfect Getaway *Sleeps 4 *Pet Friendly *Traverse City *Crystal Mountain

PLEASE NOTE:
The road in front of our property, US 31 is undergoing repairs from 4.01.06 to 11.1.06. Only West bound traffic will be allowed, easy detour for guests traveling from the East.There will be delays and noise, they are required to keep our drive open at all times. So if you heading towards a Traverse City location there will be a detour to the East first. Just want all guests to be aware of the situation.
Sleeps 4
This amazing house was conceived with vacation travelers in mind. Yes we are pet friendly! This house is a Duplex, but every thing is separate except for the dock at the lake that is shared, and I might add is very soundproof! You’ll love this gem of a place because of location. We are close to numerous activities & great restaurants. Our vacation home is located on 16 acre private Lake, right off of US 31, just 1/2 mile from the traffic light in Interlochen.
ONLY 26 miles to the Sleeping Bear Dunes
13 miles to Traverse City
3 miles from Interlochen Arts Academy
17 miles to Crystal Mountain

This special property features 2 separate units that are not connected internally aka a Duplex . Here are a few things people love about The Perfect Getaway
#1 Location, 5 minutes to the World renowned Interlochen Arts Academy, 20 minutes to Traverse City, 26 miles to the Sleeping Bears Dunes National Park, 17 miles to Crystal Mountain, 3 miles to the Blue Bridge Events Centre, 1/2 mile to Interlochen Golf course, 30 miles to The Homestead. Also our vacation home is located on 16 acre private Lake, right off of US 31, just 1/2 mile from the traffic light in Interlochen.

#2 Our house is newly remodeled, the unit is air conditioned for those warm summer days, great effort has went into sound proofing one side from the other, this is what a recent guest had to say (The way the duplex is set up your privacy is not compromised at all. In fact I would of never known we had a neighbor unless I saw their car. We did not hear a peep. Gaea)

#3 The yard, patio & lake are awesome since it allows you to enjoy the best days of summer outside and grill to your heart's delight with the grill and boat found there!

#4 Screened in Gazebo down by the lake.

Here are 3 THINGS TO CONSIDER before renting.
#1 No parties are permitted in our house or property at all times during your stay.

#2 Our house is nice but its not perfect for all people, even though we have put lots of effort into this place there are always small what seem like trivial issues to most that really upset others such as, this is a Duplex, there is not a bathtub we have a stand up shower. There is a step up to get into the house. home is located right off of US 31, Etc

#3 We ask all our guests to respect the neighbors and to not be loud or yell or play loud music inside and outside the building at all times during their stay. We expect our Guests to be quiet after 11:00PM. So if you intend to behave like a party animal, our place is not for you but if you intend to behave like a resident, you should love your stay.
Now that this is clear, let's get to the description of the place!

The Perfect Getaway is located in Interlochen, the center point of activities in the Traverse region.

Reviews
There is a large private lake and dock behind the house, and a rowboat is provided for guests to explore the water. Out back there is also a grill and private deck. Inside there was plenty of room for the four of us. Jeff leaves a list of contact info during check-in, as well as directions and phone numbers for nearby attractions (pizza delivery, golf, arts, breakfast) and a helpful list of reminders.

House was super clean! This was the perfect setup for us to experience our first cherry festival as well as sleeping bear dunes.

Beautiful, clean home that had everything we would ever need for our stay. So convenient to Interlochen and Traverse City

We loved our stay! It was a perfect location to visit Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes. The house was stocked with everything we needed and was very comfortable and clean.

We stayed here while traveling to Traverse City for an event. We loved that it is close to Traverse City but has a nice secluded feel. Located on a small lake, our Labradors had a chance to do some swimming. Very clean, wi-fi, all amenities needed are provided.

Great stay.

Property in perfect proximity to shopping area and outdoor trails 10-15 min drive at most. Space was clean, only "complaint" was that front door was difficult to shut. All basics available- pots and pans for cooking available- that was a huge help. Space outside provided just enough privacy in proximity to neighbors. This was everything my boyfriend and i needed in a short getaway.

Really nice place

My extended family and friends stayed in this location for my son's wedding. This condo is part of a 12-unit place which is perfect for wedding accommodations near the Blue Bridge venue. They all raved about their places. Very clean, unique decor with all the details and accommodations thought through. Jeff was awesome to work with. I was in communication with him on several occasions before the wedding and he was always so responsive. Beautiful views on Tullers Lake.

It was fine…

It was an adequate stay that was close to family. The grounds are well kept with an attractive lake behind the property. The peace is offset by the highway traffic. There is a wall air conditioner that blows directly on the hide-a-bed and it was unseasonably warm during our stay so it had to be on the whole time. The bathroom is small but had great water pressure for the shower. The rental was clean but very worn. It has a nice large smart TV. Bring your own coffee, cream, etc unless you drink Folgers with powdered cream. There is a nice drive thru coffee shop nearby. They allow pets and there was dog hair on the bedside tables. Also, one of the blinds had been dog chewed. It was adequate but certainly nothing exceptional.

Weekend getaway

We rented the home for a show at Interlochen on Friday evening and some time at Sleeping Bear on Sunday. Our host let us know the space would be ready early and when the cleaners took slightly longer (still early!) left us a bottle of bubbly. Unnecessary but very nice. Getting into the property the first time was a little tricky, but because of the Friday afternoon traffic, not the directions. It is right off a busy highway, but as others have noted, road noise isn’t a problem and neither is sound from the other side of the duplex. If we hadn’t seen a car we wouldn’t have known they were there. The house has all the necessities and although we were there in a heatwave the combo of AC and fan made sleeping comfortable. It was too hot for a fire out back or grilling but we appreciated the deck the firewood left for us. We will stay again. Thanks!

Interlochen Cabin

Cabin was efficient and clean. Nicely positioned between Sleeping Bear and Travers City. Only about 30 min. away from either. Had hoped to swim in the lake but couldn't. Our dog took a dive and came up covered with weeds. Probably best for fishing. Traffic noise was substantial. unable to sleep with the windows open. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
