We had a great stay. We were in town for a Bachelorette wine weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better home base. Near enough to all of our activities- shopping, wine tasting, dining. Everything was clean, beds and couches were very comfortable. Any concerns were addressed very quickly by the owners. You can’t get a better view- one of our ladies was even trying to see if she could book for a family stay in the future. What a wonderful property!

Nine of us gathered for our 50th Anniversary and enjoyed the accommodations. Spacious living areas provided a great place to gather and dine, and with four bedrooms everyone had a great place to sleep with a combination of king bed, queens, singles and bunk bed. Beds were comfortable and linens great. While the weather didn't cooperate to go swimming (cold and rainy at times) the heater kept us cozy. We'd love to return again.

Beautiful home right on the bay with private beach access. This home was comfortable and spacious. The bedrooms were roomy and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything needed to cook a meal, but the home is close enough to enjoy a meal out as well. The host was extremely responsive. Our family didn’t want to leave! This place is perfect for enjoying all Traverse City has to offer. Highly recommend.

Perfect Location

This was the second time our ladies' group stayed here. We go different places every year, but we kept talking about our very favorite house, This One! It was perfect for out group of eight. The main space is very open for hanging out, and you can't beat the view. We look forward to staying again.
