While our stay was short it was also equally as sweet. We travel for work and found this beautiful VRBO nestled in the woods, making our trip up north like a mini vacation.

Amazing Stay

One of the best places to stay in Northern Michigan/ Sleeping Bear Dunes area. Tricia was a great host and made our stay comfortable and any issues we had she was super responsive. Great kitchen with lots of gadgets to cook great meals with. Beds were comfortable and the wood fired stove made for cozy mornings in. Location is great. Will definitely be coming back!

Excellent rental!

My family loved staying here! The location could not be more perfect. We went to the dunes, the beach, the Leelanau Peninsula, and Traverse City. The house itself had a secluded feel (we loved watching the deer in the yard each evening) while still being close to everything. We had everything we needed and all slept great. Our host was wonderful. I highly recommend!

Great house and location

The house has everything you need and is in a great location. This is our third year renting this house and we enjoyed seeing the resident chipmunk and frog. The area is very quiet and it’s nice sitting outside at night by the fire.

Wish we could stay longer

Lovely secluded and tranquil property but easy access to everywhere. Completely kitted out kitchen and a great space to chill out with friends or family. To be honest, it would work better for a family than couples or friends as the 3 sleeping areas are not similar at all, but it is a lovely house and suited our needs perfectly.

Quiet Cabin in the Woods

Incredibly well-stocked, bright and pleasant

We enjoyed our time in the area. So much to do. Three miles from a couple of lovely beaches. There are fun little places to go —Leland is quirky and fun, with an old fishing village combined with interesting shops. We enjoyed the many wineries and cideries too! If you want to be sporty, then there’s an awesome bike trail, hiking, and kayaking. Tricia could not have been more helpful in giving us information about activities. She was very responsive.

Two Thumbs Up!

I stayed here for 6 nights with my three sisters (all 55+). The home was super clean and comfortable. Tricia had really thought of everything travelers would need. She provided lots of details in a bound document on the kitchen counter. The kitchen was well-stocked with every appliance and tool you would need. Towels and sheets were plentiful and comfortable. We enjoyed campfires in the yard (with lots of wood provided) and appreciated the wifi to stream a movie and handle a few work tasks. Tricia was very responsive and went out of her way to suggest some additional things to do during our visit. The home is lovely and we really enjoyed our stay. Two thumbs up for this property and for Tricia! Thank you for making our visit to the area so wonderful!

This is a nice family getaway property. It has a wonderful outdoor area with a fire pit & plenty of firewood. We used it almost every night during our 2-week stay! We also enjoyed watching the deer in the yard on many mornings. You have everything you need for your stay, although for us, there was too much (kitchen & bath cabinets were packed full, as well as book shelves, etc.). For a short stay, this might be okay for some, but for us it was not ideal. As a host, Tricia is very accessible & responsive.

Perfect Escape

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The property was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described-if not better. The attention to detail made the space feel luxurious.The location was perfect; close enough to everything we wanted to do, yet peaceful and private enough to truly relax. We especially loved the grill and fire pit with access to tons of firewood. Communication with the host was seamless. Tricia was friendly, and provided great local tips that made our stay even more special.We highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an stress-free, memorable getaway!

We loved this location and property. The house is self is organized extremely well and the owner thought of every single thing that we could have needed. We packed probably two full bins of things that we didn't need since Trish thought of it all.Also, Trish checked in with us just to let us know of amazing sunset spots that the average visitor might not know--and tips and tricks for hanging out in the area--including which places had live music and the best pizza. She was so kind and extremely responsive--not that we needed a THING. Lastly, we have been renting in the area for 20 years. These were some of the best mattresses I have slept on unlike other rentals.
