We stayed at this property last year and enjoyed it so much that we decided to come back again this year. As always, we had a wonderful stay. The property is perfect—the house, the beautiful view, and the location are all outstanding. The host was also very responsive and promptly answered any questions we had.We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!

Great stay. Cozy cottage perfect for a family of four. Rental was well stacked with cooking instruments and seasonings. There were a paddle boat, row boat, and kayaks on site, as well as a grill with propane and life vests. The hosts were extremely responsive and easy to work with. Probably the best rental experience I have had through VRBO.

Wow! We have stayed in many rentals since 2012, and this surpasses all of them in cleanliness, upkeep, comfort, and location. Perfect for a week’s stay to explore northern Michgan too. Will be recommending to friends and family seeking a perfect place to relax and unwind after hiking, fishing, boating, or perusing the towns. Morning sunrises on the lake were exqusite as well as peaceful serenity after a long day of adventure. Lakefront, firepit, and screened porch were a huge bonus! Very helpful and thoughtful owners too. A real find! Idyllic vacation!

Lovely getaway situated on a quiet and beautiful lake. Really pleased with the whole experience. Gracious hosts, well supplied clean rental, and gorgeous setting. We had a wonderful family reunion with our two adult children. Caught plenty of fish and saw eagles (scooped a fish right in front of me!), herons, kingfishers, and other waterfowl. Had a blast boating and kayaking. Cooked out great meals from Burritt’s Market in Traverse City (highly recommended) and had a special dinner out with our kids at Trattoria Stella. Couldn’t have been a better time.

Great location. Perfect for families.

We have stayed in several VRBO properties and this was by far one the best properties we have visited. House was clean and well stocked. Location was far enough outside of town for peaceful relaxation yet close enough to everything. Would highly recommend this property.
