Amazing up north house

This was the nicest home we have stayed at up north. It was super clean and organized. The decor was very welcoming. Ample supplies of everything and a well stocked kitchen. The host was very responsive and there is a binder with all the information including ideas of things to do in the area! Beautiful patio set and grill and fire pit

Tom and I enjoy Northern Michigan and all it has to offer. We love camping, motorcycle riding, bicycling, kayaking, and visiting the many festivals in the area. We can't wait to share our beautiful corner of Michigan with you.

Why they chose this property

This is the home we built and it is where we raised our two sons. It is perfect for families, whether it is sitting by the fire pit, eating dinner on the back deck, playing a game at the dining room table or cozying up in the living room for a movie. There are many different options for activities close by. Our house is in a quiet neighborhood, just a stone's throw from Little Traverse Bay, Little Traverse Wheel Way and many nature paths and preserves. Spare Key Winery is less than a mile away, directly to the south.
