What a wonderful cabin! Plenty of space and amenities for our group, and located close enough to dowtown to be convenient, but far enough to not be caught up in the hustle and bustle. We will definitely consider this cabin again for any future trips to the Traverse City area.

This property has been one of our absolute favorites after coming to the area for a decade now. The location couldn’t be more perfect and the views were incredible. We especially loved the converted garage space with the hot tub and sauna. The host was extremely communicative and easy to work with! We will definitely be back!

Great family vacation, 6 adults, 4 kids. The cottage was very comfortable, amenities like the hot tub, kayaks, beach chairs, bbq, were a hit. The private beach and proximity to groceries, restaurants and shopping downtown most convenient.

Four couples getting together for 4 days in Traverse City booked this great rental house. Fully furnished, equipped with everything you need. Very well maintained and only a short distance to TC. We would book this house again without question. The host responded immediately to the two questions I asked prior to our checking in. Did not contact the host while in the house as their were no issues or questions.

Beautiful location and comfortable home! One bedroom only has access through another bedroom, but it worked really well for one couple with kids. Beds were all super comfortable. Loved having two dining areas - we used one for eating and one for playing games. Nice fenced in backyard with smokeless firepit. Thank you for having us!

Really enjoyed our stay overall—it's a warm, cozy spot that's super close to downtown Traverse City! The property has plenty of rooms, beds, bathrooms, and towels for at least 10 people. The kitchen is well equipped. While we unfortunately didn't have enough time to enjoy the beach area, kayak, or grill, we were able to enjoy the hot tub and sauna. The only small downside was that basic toiletries like soap and shampoo weren't provided, so you'll need to bring your own. Otherwise, we had a great experience!

Great location with easy access to a private beach with chairs and kayaks. Easy to get to all the local and area attractions and great restaurants. The backyard was very inviting. Kitchen was well stocked. Lots of room to gather and relax. It would be nice to have more comfortable seating at the dining tables. The only negative was the electrical system. Ceiling fans were disconnected, some outlets didn't work and wiring was a little concerning. The hosts were great to work with. Their response time was excellent.
