We had an amazing stay at this house in Cedar! The house was a dream - well-stocked kitchen, beautiful rooms, an idyllic setting. We cooked dinner here with our family of 8 every night and had everything we needed. The house is also centrally located so it’s easy to get anywhere you want - wineries on Traverse City Peninsula, Sleeping Bear Dunes, wonderful beaches, etc. We loved our stay & would return here in a heartbeat!

Quiet get away, easy drive to Traverse/Leland/Northport

We needed a quiet get away for a long weekend. The house totally got the proverbial bill. It’s outside TC but not by a lot. It has a ton of property surrounding it. Very quiet and peaceful. Nice updates. I’m plenty of room. Hot tub could have albeen a little belt warmer. Very clean. We would certainly rent it again. Fall colors with freash cut agriculture would be beautiful l. Hosts were beyond awesome and communication was spot on

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My family and I had a great time at the nest. The house has been remodeled and updated and is very cozy. The house is also situated on a private and wooded lot with beautiful views. The beds were comfy, and the sheets were soft. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals for a large group and the large kitchen table was perfect too. We would definitely stay here again.

Sweet Farmhouse

Sweet farmhouse, beautifully appointed while maintaining a cozy vibe. The View of the country road and meadow was amazing. Located right off a rolling country road at the base of the peninsula, short drives to TC, Empire and Suttons Bay. Hosts provided detailed guidebook for eats, hikes and were quick to follow up on questions. Thank you .

Christmas in Cedar

Our family decided to do a little Northern Pre-Christmas. This updated farmhouse was amazing in every aspect. We were pleasantly surprised with the size of every room and extra spaces. The cleanliness, decor, amenities, all top notch. It was the perfect degree of seclusion. Close enough to town and the main road, other homes to be seen yet space in between. We will definitely plan on visiting again!

Perfect fall weekend

Property was just as advertised and has all the things you could need. Location allowed you to feel away from everything but close drive to downtown traverse city and many wineries/breweries. We loved how the place was laid out and decorated, open space but felt super cozy. Kitchen was well stocked and host left some nice touches (bottle of wine, coffee). The host was super responsive and flexible on check-in/out time which we really appreciated. Beautiful setting, nice fire outside at night and the fall colors were spectacular. It was a Pure Michigan weekend!!

Ladies getaway....perfect!

This property is just lovely.....plenty of room and very updated and airy. The beds are comfy.....the kitchen and d.r. large and handy for preparing meals together and enjoying the open space. To sit in the living room and visit and have that big window with the beautiful view was our first thing to do in the morning and last thing at night....a beautiful gathering place. Everything was thought of from extra linens and towels to hairdryers and fully stocked kitchen. Btw, thank you for the bottle of local wine...very good! The location is excellent...quiet and private yet a short drive to town and to Sleeping Bear and other spots. Would love to visit again! Know that this place is exactly as presented in the pictures....just beautiful! Our family group ranged from a 22 year old to an 80 year old and we were all delighted with this choice.
