A long weekend in Traverse

Our kids and parents stayed in the house while we (my husband and I) attended wedding events in the area for friends. They had a fantastic stay. The house was bigger than we expected and the lot is private. The house was clean with new appliances and fixtures throughout. We would definitely stay here again if we’re back in the area.

Perfect location and SO clean!!

This home was the perfect spot to land for my family while we visited Sleeping Bear Dunes, Fishtown and Traverse City. The central location is super convenient. The property itself was immaculate, it literally looked like we were the first people who ever stayed there, everything was just perfectly in its place. The owner thought of everything, including throw blankets for when we snuggled up for a movie at the end of a busy day. We used the fire pit once which was a great extra touch. The layout of the home is perfect for families as the primary suite is completely separate from the guest bathroom and bedroom. The owner stayed in the downstairs apartment while we were there, but it really was zero issue. If we wouldn’t have crossed paths when we arrived, we wouldn’t have even known anyone was there. Totally private! The beds were very comfortable as well! Highly recommend this place, would absolutely stay again if we come back up sometime. Thank you for the wonderful stay!
