Reserve the Magic Shuttle Bus just around the corner, to pick you up at the door and take you to the many wineries and breweries. We're a winter wonderland too! Bring your skis, snowshoes, and snowmobiles. We are within minutes to all of the trails and ski hills. Come back to the house to relax on the covered porch or patio. Build a fire and grill out.

Perfect Group House

We had an amazing stay at this cozy home! The location is perfect. It’s nestled in a peaceful, private area, which gave us the feeling of being away from it all, yet it was only a short and easy drive into town. The house itself is ideal for groups, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The cozy atmosphere made it feel like home, and we loved spending time both indoors and outside by the bonfire. Would love to stay here again.

Evergreen Cottage is a gem!

We loved this spacious, spotless, and beautiful cottage! It is a great location between Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The host had great communication with me. The layout is perfect for a big family, and the downstairs rec area was super. Lovely decor, quiet road,and a beautiful patio all added up to a great stay for us. We also loved Lake Ann town. Cute coffee shop and microbrewery.

3rd time

This was our third stay at this wonderful house that has become a home away from home when we are vacationing in Michigan. We have had a very good and consistent experience over four years and three stays. Teresa is a good communicator and has been very easy to work with! It probably goes without saying at this point, but we will be staying here again.

Graduation getaway

Family gathered from Virginia and Indiana for Interlochen Center for the Arts graduation the The house comfortably accommodated 13 people the two oldest are 78 and the two youngest are 9. The kitchen was well equipped and the fire pit was a hit! The house was chosen mainly for its location. It is reasonable distances from Interlochen-Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes

Perfect Location for a Traverse City Vacation

The Evergreen Cottage is a beautiful home in a very private setting just minutes from downtown Traverse City. It is a great location to explore all of NW Michigan, and also a quiet, out-of-the-way place to enjoy with your group. The home itself is very clean, well maintained, and provides many of the basic household and kitchen necessities allowing you to prepare meals at home and spend time together. We are a family of five, but there was plenty of beds & space for 5-7 more people. We had stopped to get some basic essentials on the way from the airport to discover that they were already provided. Our kids loved the gameroom downstairs, and we apprecited all of the toys/sleds that were provided for all to use. We were visiting from Florida with the hope of a snow-filled vacation. Although the weather didn’t fully cooperate, the house got more snow than almost all of the places we visited, including Boyne Mountain. We weren't able to do many of the activities we had planned because there wasn't enough snow. However, the location of the house was perfect because we could drive 20-30 minutes in any direction and find plenty to keep us busy. Take note that many local attractions and businesses shut down from Christmas through early April, which did further limit some of our plans. We had a very minor issue arise during our stay, and Craig and Theresa graciously took care of it immediately. All in all, it's a beautiful home and area that we wouldn't hesitate to visit again!

Great place!

Our family was celebrating my husbands 75th Birthday. The house was great for our family, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Each family had a bathroom to use so know waiting to get your turn. We were gone most of the day, everything was round 20 minutes away. We came back made dinner and sat out around the fire. I would recommend this house to anyone.

August Getaway

We took our daughter and her two girls on a family vacation. Visited a number of areas and had a great time. House was perfect for the 5 of us and well done. Out in the country so quiet and nice surroundings. The trade off is that you have to be prepared to drive a bit to get anywhere. We would definitely stay again.

Relaxing Home Base to Explore

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of this home- truly spotless! Also appreciated the extra kitchen items to prepare food, and wash dishes and clothes as needed. It is a wonderfully private setting yet very easy to explore Sleeping Bear/Glen Arbor/Traverse City. The Lake Ann Grocery is very close by and has most anything you might need. Great Stay!

Fantastic Property

We have stayed at many VRBO homes over the years and this was by far the best home we have stayed in. The home was spotless and beautifully maintained and decorated. The lower level was perfect for our younger adult guests who stayed up late at night. The kitchen had every imaginable thing you may need to prepare a basic to fancy meal. The owners thought of everything travelers may need when preparing this home to make guests as comfortable as possible. The fire pit in the very private backyard was a big hit after long days of activities. We will be back!

Absolutely wonderful stay!

We were so lucky to find this property just a few weeks before the holidays. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. Our family of four traveled with our friends (family of 3.) The layout was perfect for us, with enough room for all of us to play games at the kitchen table and plenty of space for us to all spread out with the 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The home was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Thanks again for sharing your home with us!
