About this property

Summary:
Built in the early 1900s and completely renovated in 2021, our light-filled home features open plan living and a brand new kitchen any chef will love. Our central location in Maple City makes it accessible to all of our favorite spots in Leelanau County. Feel free to ask or check our guidebook for our recommendations.

Pack a picnic and enjoy lunch at any one of the beautiful Lake Michigan beaches, barbecue and lounge in the backyard, or curl up on the comfy couch and watch a movie.

The Space:
The home features a modern-industrial design and was a joint collaboration between the members of an artistic family. Together, they oversaw the complete renovation of the home and have thoughtfully placed various pieces of art throughout the space, each with its own uniqueness and meaning.

Overview of the space:
-Main floor: living/entertainment room, dining room, full kitchen, laundry room, full bathroom, mudroom
-Upstairs: 3 bedrooms, full bathroom
-Exterior: front yard + porch, backyard + porch + fire pit + utility shed, 2-car driveway

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to all spaces inside, and outside, of the home during their stay; the exception is the unfinished basement, which is behind a locked door.

The Neighborhood:
Welcome to Maple City, Michigan, ideally situated in the heart of Leelanau County. Go twenty minutes in any direction to see the region’s sights: Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, Glen Arbor, Leland, Interlochen Center for the Arts, wineries, breweries, hiking trails and the pristine freshwater beaches of Lake Michigan.

Getting Around:
Guests will need access to their own vehicles as this area is rural and has no access to public transportation.

Other Things to Note:
The home is in the center of the village of Maple City. It sits directly next to the only restaurant in town, Pegtown Station, so there is some generally light traffic out front of the house.

Interaction with Guests:
Chris is the dedicated cohost and will be your point of contact during your trip.

It's unlikely that you'll meet him in person, but he is always available via the booking app, text, or mobile and is quite responsive to inquiries.

Please don't hesitate to reach out it you have any questions about the accommodations, area, or you booking.

Ps. If for some reason Chris needs to visit the property, he will notify and confirm with guests prior to coming out.

Amazing

We had an amazing time as a family. The host was quick to answer questions and made my first experience using VRBO seemless. The home has so much to offer and the extras made us feel like it was home. The location is perfect for visiting all of the areas “must sees” and being able to retreat home and relax around the fire each night, made the vacation even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Perfect house and location!

This was a perfect place to stay centralized to all the places we wanted to visit. We enjoyed smores in the large backyard each night and felt the home was so cozy to come back to after a day at the beach.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Stowe

Born and raised in Traverse City, I've recently moved back to the area to focus full time on my STR property management business. While most guests won't meet me in person, please know I'm only a phone call away should you need recommendations, have questions, or have other feedback. On a personal note, I'm married to my lovely wife Megan and we've got a toddler named Sammy and an infant named Noah, both are absolute delights! We love being parents, and there's no better place to raise a family than Northern Michigan... Additionally, I have all sorts of various hobbies and am a seasoned traveler (+30 countries so far...) so I can give you all sorts of travel advice for Asia and elsewhere. So far, my favorite places were: Italy, Ireland, New Zealand, and Switzerland. As a host and vacation rental manager, I have tried to make my spaces in Northern Michigan into places you’ll enjoy! You can count on me to be available at all times to assist in answering your questions!

Why they chose this property

This property blends modern with traditional farmhouse to create an ambiance that's really unique. That, plus it's location in the center of Maple City (which itself is in the heart of Leelanau County) makes the home ideal for both staying put and going out and about!

What makes this property unique

The family who owns and who renovated the home, added their own individual artistic talents to the design and layout of EVERY aspect of this home. So that means that nearly all the items inside the home were either made or designed by the owners. We're talking floor mats, wall art, the window blinds, etc.; it's pretty impressive!
