This property worked great for our party of ten- plenty of bedrooms and especially bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed for a group dinner. It was nice to have a fenced back yard for the dog too. Despite being along a somewhat busy road, the noise wasn't a bother and gave us easy access to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes and the rest of the Leelanau Peninsula.Our only complaints are that after biking all day, the hot water ran out before everyone could get a shower in. And the garage door was not working, so we had to bring our bikes in through the back bedrooms to access the garage for overnight storage.But this is a very lovely, comfortable place to stay.

Thanks for the review and I’m happy to hear the property worked out great for your group. The garage door opener is in a weird spot so I’ll add a sign so everyone can find it. Thank you again for coming!

The property reminded my wife of her Girl scout experience at winter camp (log cabin.) All the beds were large and comfortable, plenty of hot water and a great view to see the sunrise. It's a shame that it was so cloudy the entire time that we didn't get to see it though, but the host was very understanding about us having to leave a day early due to the winter storm.

Perfect house for our group!

We had a family group of 9 adults and 1 infant. We loved having 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Plenty of space to fit our needs and spread out. Property is close to wineries and breweries we visited. Also several fishing areas close to house. Nice backyard space! If in the area again, we would certainly like to stay here.
