We stayed here for our annual friends weekend and really enjoyed the house and location. We were able to enjoy the hustle of downtown Traverse City during the day and then chill in a peaceful setting at night.
Loved everything about house, plenty of room for our family, location was great. Having the kayaks and paddle boat to use was very nice. A couple of our family members arrived early and I messaged to see if they could get in the house and they responded quickly and said it would not be a problem. Would definitely stay again.
We enjoyed a relaxing, quiet retreat on the lake. The owners were very responsive with any needs we had. The place was clean and a great vacation spot for our family. Thank you for sharing your home!
From the check in to the check out - this place was amazing and met all of our girls trip needs. We were so happy with this location that we are hoping to make it an annual trip!
Our family had a wonderful summer vacation at Brody's Camp. The house was very clean and the surrounding area was so quiet and peaceful We loved sitting by the water and listening to wildlife.
Hosts were extremely communicative and very gracious. House was well stocked with supplies and that was greatly appreciated. We loved the kayaks and toys for the water. Great location for day trips to mission point, sleeping bear dunes and traverse city. There were 8 of us, and it was plenty of space. We thoroughly enjoyed our whole trip!
Great location, and property. Communication with property owner was quick and rectified any needs that arose. Would recommend to anyone wanting a lake house vacation.
We stayed for a long weekend and will come again! The house was a effect location for everything we wanted to do, Traverse, Interlochen, and Glen Arbor, and met all our needs.
Our family was hoping for a long relaxing weekend in a unique area, where we could enjoy family time, fun shops, and beautiful scenery. We found it at this home--perfect!
We celebrated our family's Christmas holiday this weekend and had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful and in a beautiful setting. It had everything we needed and not too far from everything. The host was very responsive and very friendly. We would definitely rent the house again.
Very nice spacious home. Quiet area on the lake and just the right distance from Traverse City. The only issues we had was the air conditioning not working properly. Maintenance came to fix but it did not help.
The house was fantastic it had everything we needed. We went in the fall and the scenery from the dining area and the master bedroom was breathtaking. So beautiful. The area is very quiet and nestled in the woods right by a lake.
Cute home with lots of amenities. Great location within proximity to Traverse City. Plenary of room for the 10 of use. Wish the lake was a little sandier.
Relaxing and peaceful location. We truly enjoyed our stay.
Nice peaceful quiet location, enjoyed taking walks in the morning. Enjoyed the views from the large master with excellent views from the bed and large master bath. Great internet for working remote and streaming movies. Nice view from the kitchen table. Enjoyed the kayaks and large floating mat. Would stay here again in the future.
Our family really enjoyed our stay here. The lake was peaceful and quiet. Perfect for fishing and kayaking! The house was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, the deck was being replaced so it wasn’t completed, and the dock was broke; however the owner let us know ahead of time and made accommodations for us to help with the inconvenience. We would definitely rent this home again!
Escaped the heat and the stress. Some in my family want to move here as it reminds my son in law of the parade of lakes in the Ozarks. Close to an array of shops, food, and recreation, but this place beats those attractions.
We loved it there, would recommend it to my family members and friends. It had everything for housekeeping you would need and much more.
The only thing I would do is check a couple of the steps going down off the dining room they are quite spongy, and the right corner of the bar needs to be tightened up (outside)
This is a beautiful property. The house had everything you need and more! We really enjoyed that we could take our 2 little dogs and especially that that the yard is fenced in. The dogs loved sitting on the dock! We enjoyed the 2 living rooms for quiet morning coffee. The new deck was very nice. There is also a larger lounger in the backyard that was perfect for star gazing.

Why they chose this property
This property is not just a rental for our family, but rather our monthly get-away to rest and recharge. We hope that you enjoy the tranquil surroundings as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
This property is unique in that it is surrounded by state owned land containing an entire trail system that anyone can enjoy hiking, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, and 4x4 exploring. Rennie lake is an all sports lake for your enjoyment. Additionally, Bass Lake and Spider Lake are just down the road to access for additional fishing a/o lake activities. Brody's Camp is conveniently located just outside Traverse City where you can enjoy shopping, restaurants, festivals, bike trails, breweries, and the "Napa Valley" of the midwest! Although Summer is our most popular season, don't forget to visit in the fall for the beautiful color explosion and the winter for activities such as snowmobiling on the trail system, 2 ski resorts in T.C, and less than an hour to Boyne/Cadillac ski areas.
