Clean and comfortable. Was able to accommodate our group of 5 adults while staying in the area. Close to Dunes and Traverse City where we spent a lot of our time. Backyard was great for eating our dinner and relaxing around a fire on our free evening. Air conditioning a bit loud, but did a good job of keeping up, so was worth it. Kitchen well stocked for making several of our own meals. Would stay again if return to the area. Thank you!

This was our second stay at this property, and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. The location is perfect—outside the bustle of Traverse City, but close enough that it’s just a short drive to restaurants, shops, and activities. The beds were very comfortable, and the layout gave all of us plenty of space to relax and spread out. We look forward to coming back again!

Nice, comfortable house just 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City. Only shortcoming was the dining room table. It was a large round high-top, with only 4 chairs. It would be better if there were at least 2 more chairs to accommodate all guests in one sitting, or for games.

The house & grounds were exactly as pictured, and provided our family with a cozy 'base of operations' for wedding-related activities at Bluebridge and in Traverse City. We couldnt have been any more pleased with the accommodations or the location. Our host, Donald, was an excellent communicator.

Beautiful and comfortable home

This house was just as described. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We were able to all have our own spaces and watch the Olympics while taking care of our beach laundry! Would definitely stay here again.

The Perfect Home Base For Fun

The house was very clean. We used the home as a base for exploring the area. Everything we needed was there, except for the food. This is our second year at this house and we would rent again.

Beds were the best I’ve experienced at a vacation rental. House was clean and well stocked with consumables. Owner responded quickly to a couple of minor questions.One minor problem was that a burner on the stove didn’t ignite on its own, but we got it lit with a match, and then found a lighter in the drawer to the left of the stove.

Clean and Cozy!

The house was extremely comfortable as were the beds. Everything was clean and well taken care of. There was a LOT of snow in the area, but the driveway and path to the house were already shoveled by the time we arrived, which was very kind of the owners to do. Would return! :)

We had a great stay at this home. I always give honest reviews and don't fluff. Here is my review-----The only drawbacks were that 2 houses across the street are abandoned and look a little sketchy and the oven had grease all over the top. We had to clean it first before using it, but the rest of the house was very clean! (I think they must have just forgot to clean the stovetop.) The beds are super comfortable, it is well stocked for cooking, and the communication was great. We would stay here again.
