Summer vacation

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at "The Ranch." It was the perfect spot for our family vacation- close to town, lakes, and activities. John and Laura were wonderful hosts. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We are hoping to return sometime in the near future!

An amazing vacation in a perfect location!

Our family group of 10, (6 adults and 4 children ages 12,10,8, & 4), stayed at this property from 7/16-723/23. Laura and John were amazing hosts. John met us when we arrived, he gave us a tour and made sure we knew were everything was and how to use it. The house was large enough for our group, it allowed us space when we wanted it and had large gathering areas for group activities as well. The outside space was well maintained with a large grass area where we played croquet and soccer. One of the more memorable times during the week was when Laura & John invited the children to their property to visit the horses. They even gave the kids each a ride around the corral on the horse. The kids are still talking about it. Just a wonderful experience!

Great Home & Amazing Location

Stayed for 4 days and 3 nights with a group of 9 and this was a perfect house for it! The house was incredibly clean, rules and expectations, as well as wifi and contact information was clearly listed and easy to locate, and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating. With 9 people there were 7 beds and still 2 couches people could sleep on ( some just shared a bed though). The hot tub was not working, which was a bummer, (and not the fault of the hosts; they let us know and have been waiting on the part so it could be fixed.) the Sauna was fantastic and a great way to relax in some heat. The outdoor area is beautiful and comfortable for morning coffee or relaxing before bed. Only 15 minutes from downtown Traverse and 30 minutes from the top of the wineries on both Mission and Leelanau Peninsula, this location was perfect to go wherever you needed! I cannot say enough about this space and the hosts, both John and Laura are so kind and easy to get a hold of. Oh, and they have 3 beautiful horses you can see while you're there too! You will not be disappointed.
