Beautiful Place! Great Location!
This is a beautiful home with a gorgeous view of Cedar Lake. The kitchen has an amazing view of the lake with a high top table to enjoy dinner. The location is close to downtown yet quiet and secluded. Very close to the bike trail. We had a wonderful stay. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you for opening your home to visitors.

Peaceful and absolutely gorgeous home!
We loved this home and can’t wait to return! The view is unbelievable! Exceptionally clean and well stocked. Very comfortable bed and living room. We went kayaking and had a bonfire. It’s close to everything we wanted to do in the area! An absolute gem!

Absolute perfection!
We’ve stayed in many up north vacation rentals, and none compare to this perfect house on Cedar Lake! The property exceeded our expectations in every way - in size, comfort, amenities, VIEWS! The hosts were quick to communicate, hospitable, helpful and kind. With so much to do around Traverse City and up the peninsula, our kids never wanted to leave the house and the lake. We hope to be back next summer, if not before!

Spacious house with full upper and lower living areas. The upper kitchen that we used is well-equipped. Beautiful view of the lake from the back of the house. Great deck. Patio near the dock with a huge fire pit where we spent the evenings enjoying the weather and beautiful star-filled sky. Great location. Not far from Sleeping Bear Dunes and lovely wineries. Thanks to Maude for a very memorable stay.

Quick weekend getaway
We booked this house for my Brother In Laws wedding. Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy the lake as much as we wanted, so would look to come back! The house had a lot of space for 5 adults and one infant. Easy check in and check out process. Would definitely recommend this house if you are visiting the area!

Perfect Location on a beautiful lake
Our family of six really enjoyed our stay at Cedar Lake. The house was very clean and well equipped, and the owners were super responsive to any questions and provided all of the basics. We look forward to returning for another summer trip.

Amazing Lake Getaway
This lake house is phenomenal for groups. Plenty of space, bathroom, and amenities. The surrounding area is also stunning. It sits on a very low traffic lake, which leads to amazing views. I can't recommend this property enough!

Beautiful, peaceful Retreat
We decided, somewhat impromptu, to book a stay in Traverse City with our kids and Australian neighbors, who had never been up north, and we were absolutely thrilled Maude's house was available! The layout was perfect for two families with small kids b/c each family could have a level of the home for various bedtimes. The view is unparalleled, and after arriving late in the evening on Thursday, it was the most beautiful site when we woke up early Friday. The kids loved running in the yard, we explored the lake on the kayaks provided, and couldn't believe the clarity of the water to spot the fish. It was peaceful at all hours of the day, and we enjoyed the cool nights on the deck, and the fire pit one night as well. My husband and I already decided we want to return for a week to truly sink into the beauty around the property and the area in general. Thank you for offering your house to families - the memories created there will be lasting! Melissa P.

Quiet Location
Our stay here was nothing short of fantastic. Everything from communication before to the actual listing itself. Quiet Location at the end of a dead end street. The water in the back yard was beautiful and peaceful. The property was clean and accurately described. My only complaint is the master bedroom mattress is quite squishy and I prefer something more firm. Highly recommend this listing and hoping to be back again next summer!

Relaxing Stay
My family and I enjoyed a relaxing week at this property. The home had everything you could imagine available to make your stay perfect. The kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of towels in the bathrooms, and the property was immaculately clean! Cedar Lake was quiet and calm. We enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking with hardly any boat traffic. We did rent a jetski for one day from Aussie Watersports and had lots of fun with that. We visited Good Harbor Bay Beach twice to swim in Lake Michigan (about 25 minutes away). We bought all of our groceries from Tom's Market which is a short drive away. The Leelanau Trail is adjacent to the property which makes easy access for walking and biking. You do not notice that the trail is there though as there is a thick tree line that makes for nice privacy while enjoying the yard/lake. We also enjoyed the ping pong table in the lower level. My 2 sons are hockey players and enjoyed the Red Wing décor! This is a lovely bi-level home that makes a wonderful setting for a family get away. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Serenity on Cedar Lake
What an exceptional home and property! Maude's place offers everything you could hope for to make a lake house family vacation unforgettable. We had such an amazing stay--swimming in the lake, enjoying meals on the deck, and walking the Leelanau Trail every day. The house is extremely spacious and thoughtfully designed for a larger group: three bedrooms and a fourth space with bunk beds that could be used as a bedroom, four full bathrooms, an outdoor deck and living room with television on each floor, an open kitchen / dining area that shares with the upper deck an *extraordinary* lake view, a wet bar and washer & dryer on the lower level, and a large yard wrapping around the house that leads out to the fire pit, patio seating, and swimming pier on Cedar Lake. There is so much to do in Traverse City and the Leelanau Peninsula, but we spent a substantial portion of our trip just savoring our time at the house, which is situated at the very end of a quiet residential street, abutted by trees and with direct access to the paved Leelanau Trail (perfect for walking and biking) and to the jewel of this property, Cedar Lake. The lake is literally right in the back yard and it is stunning. We swam several times a day; the water was clean and clear and the temperature consistently delightful. The house comes with everything you need to enjoy the outdoor space: kayaks and floating devices for the water, wood for the fire pit, swimming towels, and plentiful patio chairs and chaise lounges (if you're traveling with kids, there are also bikes for children and teenagers). We were so grateful to be able to bring our dogs, who delighted in the property as much as we did. Maude's communication was always clear and welcoming, and we were given complete privacy during our stay. We are so grateful to have stayed here. It was a perfect spot for a quiet lakeside vacation, yet with quick access to all that Traverse City and the Leelanau Peninsula have to offer. So many wonderful memories. We hope to return. VERY highly recommended!

Amazing house with a great view of Cedar Lake! Minutes from downtown TC!
Open layout on the main/top floor with an amazing view. Fire pit for s’mores and plenty of chairs! Loved the access to Bike trail right by house…perfect for walking, running or biking! My son loved fishing off the dock! Lots of outdoor activities available in garage! A great place to stay for a few days or a week! The location is ideal…minutes to downtown TC.

Wonderful Fourth of July Getaway
The house was everything advertised and more. Everything we needed was there and in great condition. Even better than the house was the location. Cedar Lake was a fully recreational lake, but it wasn’t crowded, even on the Fourth of July. We kayaked the lake several times and often felt like we had the lake to ourselves. We also took advantage of the TART being right next to the property. We woke up early one morning and made the 4 mile bike ride into TC for breakfast. The entire family enjoyed this stay and we hope to return in the future.

Fun in Michigan
Two couples and three teenagers stayed at this lovely house. It was perfect. House was on a dead end street with large yard. We played football and frisbee. The leelanau trail access is on the property. One day we road to Sutton’s bay with the kids, about a twelve mile ride on a paved trail. The next day we road to clinch park in downtown Traverse City and stopped at the farmers market. The house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. It has two separate living rooms, which was nice to send the kids downstairs. They had a ton of lake floats/toys who we used, as well as three kayaks. The dock and fire pit was great. We used everyday. The water was warmer the Lake Michigan and felt great with the sun out. It stayed light out past 10pm due to being here in late June. The only thing that the owners could add is some Tupperware containers. It was a super stocked house and owners were great to work with.

Charming house in a perfect location!
Fantastic house and property! Immediately next to the TART trail with a short bike ride to TC or 13 miles to Sutton’s Bay. Cedar Lake is beautiful and serene. We spent a lot of time kayaking and fishing on the lake. Close to everything, the house is perfectly located. Maude is fantastic and very understanding, she made the stay smooth and easy. We would recommend the house for anyone looking for a lake house with easy access to the TART trail.

Winter weekend away with friends
The house was absolutely perfect for our group. Communication was quick, check in was super easy, and the home was even better than what the pictures show. The home seemed to be purpose built for large groups with tons of space and four full bathrooms. Everything we needed was there and Maude even made a special trip to drop something off we forgot to pack. I highly recommend this home for your stay.

Up North Winter Getaway
Our family could not make its annual post-Christmas trip to the cottage in Ontario due to the border closure and this cottage was a fantastic substitute. We loved the lake front, the TART trail access, the fire pit, the ping-pong tournaments, and most of all getting away to enjoy Up North living. We also took a great day trip to Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes for sledding and exploring the Lake Michigan shoreline. This is a wonderful cottage. Thanks, Maude!
