"My Cozy Home" is exactly that... a very Cozy home outside the big city.. yet, close proximity to .. everything! Great hosts checked in with us upon check in to be sure everything was to our satisfaction. Kitchen is well stocked. Bed was comfy. Pet friendly, but we chose last minute to leave our pet at home. We were pleased with our short stay.

Had a short weekend stay with a group of 6. Perfect spot to be right outside of town, have a bonfire each night in a quiet setting. Open kitchen area was perfect for sitting around the table chatting and eating. Would stay again for sure!

Great short-term stay. Clean, modern, well-decorated home off the beaten path but close to the water's edge. Beds were comfortable, shower was hot, towels were plentiful. Kitchen was well-stocked, tv was big & modern, we used our Netflix on it to cozy up to a show. Great game room downstairs and laundry was a plus. Love the three separate BRs, perfect for our adult group of 4. Would love to stay here again the next time we're in town.

Fantastic!

We spent 10 days here and loved every one of them. The house was in excellent shape, very clean and well appointed. It really had the feel of borrowing a friend’s house and not the stripped down and usually marginal experience of so many ‘corporate’ short term rentals these days. 5 stars to the hosts!The location between Traverse City and Suttons Bay made it easy to take advantage of everything going on and yet it was just enough off M22 to offer quiet mornings and evenings out on the deck. Communication was excellent and the process from booking to checkout was easy and smooth. Highly recommended!

great location

Great location. Easy check in. There were There were many small flies in the house when we stayed which was probably out of the hosts control— probably just the time of year for them but there was nothing to mitigate that like a zapper. The bathroom was not very clean (pink mold on the shower and on the shower curtain). Plenty of kitchen supplies for what anyone needs. Easy to park. Would easily be a five star property with a bit better maintenance.

Carolyn, we appreciate the review. We did address both the fruit flies, which have been horrible all around the west bay this time of year, and the bathroom. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to host you again!

The home was the perfect size for my husband and me along with our two chocolate labs. The house was spotless when we arrived and there were so many “extra touches” most properties don’t have. From the fully stocked spice cabinet, plenty of paper towels, toilet tissue and kleenex (not the cheap stuff either) to the abundance of towels, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, and many others! The hosts were responsive and check in was a breeze! The location was perfect for catching the M-22 up to Sleeping Bear Dunes on the motorcycle. We even had access to the garage to store the bike when we weren’t riding. The back yard area was nicely equipped with a fire pit and plenty offirewood, along with a gas grill and very lovely outdoor dining space with lights. The home is listed as pet friendly and we had no problem, but if you have a dog that doesn’t stay close by or is still training, you will want to use a leash as the yard is open. The front road, while not busy, was busy enough that it could be a problem for a dog (or human) that likes to dart away. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay again.

Hello! We are Rob and Ashley, and we have the pleasure of welcoming you to our beautiful slice of Northern Michigan, where we hope you will find just as much joy and fun as we do!

We grew up visiting "up north" often as kids, and then during the pandemic, we found the opportunity to move up here full time. We fell in love with the beaches, wineries, restaurants, hiking, and everything else great that this area has to offer.
