MURRAY ACRES: A modern farmhouse @ 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City

Comfortable home in the heart of the Grand Traverse Region....This is a renovated farmhouse situated on 10 acres-with a pond and fire-pit. It's the perfect retreat after days of sightseeing!

Beautiful Home outside of Traverse City

This was a great place to stay for a trip to Traverse City. Our group spent the days out in the city and this was perfect place to crash after days of fun.

Highly recommend

We had a great weekend and truly appreciated the spacious, clean and heart warming home. It was very well organized with everything you need. My family and I road on the Wheels on Rails on Saturday and we were less than 5 minutes from there. It is a prime location if you want to visit Traverse City but be away from the hustle of the city. Nice backyard with a great fire pit. 5 starts sir sure.

This property was in the perfect location for our visit, easily accessible, and well placed for all shopping needs. The first floor is spacious and well planned with all the comforts of a home including comfortable couches and chairs. The second floor is a fabulously large and accommodating sprawling set of bedrooms, again with all the comforts of a personal home. The bathrooms were very clean and well stocked with the first floor being massive and the second being much smaller yet somehow just as comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could need, we cook everyday on vacations and I did not have to purchase any disposable items to complete a recipe! My husband is 6’4” and had no spacial issues; every bed was used and everyone agreed they were comfortably soft and we all slept well; the bedrooms were pleasantly dark and quiet; the mudroom/entry was a functional bonus.

Okay.

Our overall experience was okay. They are not super quick to respond. House was clean and nice set up but the upstairs gets extremely warm. Make sure you see it is almost 20 mins from downtown Traverse. They charged us for a couch cleaning and when I asked what was wrong with it I got no reply.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 August 2023
The listing title identified the property as being "20 minutes from downtown Traverse City" and the property is available for viewing on the map. The home has central air conditioning. However, if windows are left open that will naturally compromise its effectiveness. The couch was dirty with many stains. This was a large group. When the guest inquired, we shared photos. We strive to be as descriptive as possible with our listing and to work diligently to assure that each new guest enjoys the cleanliness of a well-cared for home.

Vacation with lots of driving

The host told us that the house was located few minutes from downtown traverse city. In reality, it was 20 minutes from downtown traverse city. We had to drive everywhere we went in the city, instead of walking and riding our bikes to locations.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 August 2023
The listing title itself identified the home as "20 minutes from Traverse City". It's unfortunate that the guests did not fully review the property description and its identification on the map. We strive to make our descriptions clear so that our guests can fully enjoy their getaways.

Time Away in Traverse

We head up to Traverse every summer to meet up with friends. This was the house we chose this year. The house was beautiful, had a nice outside and everything we needed inside. There were a few issues during the stay that the owners took care of during the trip and worked with us to solve. We are talking about possibly coming back here next year.
