This home is set in a beautiful, peaceful location and was the perfect cozy winter getaway. The amenities were thoughtfully provided—from the coffee bar to the sauna and hot tub, everything made our stay feel extra relaxing and comfortable. The host was friendly, attentive, and quick to respond whenever we had questions. We truly enjoyed our time here and would not hesitate to return.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad that you enjoyed your stay and the home so much:) You are welcome back any time!
This stay was amazing. We loved everything about the house. It was the perfect location for my family to explore the Leelenau peninsula. The kitchen was well stocked and the home had so many small details that were really well thought out. We loved sitting on the patio in the evening and my kids really loved the games and the axe/star throwing. It was such a hit. We also explored the creek in search of frogs and crawfish. Ben and Aviva communicated perfectly and had everything covered! We can't wait to come stay here again.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear your stay was so great! It sounds like you and your family made the most of everything Streamside has to offer, from creek adventures to evening hangs on the patio (and we’re especially glad the axe and star throwing setup was a hit!).
We’ve put a lot of care into the little details, so it means a lot to know they stood out. And it was a pleasure communicating with you—thank you for being such thoughtful and easygoing guests.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime for more Leelanau adventures!!
We had an absolutely incredible stay here, and it will forever hold a special place in our hearts. I was able to propose to my fiancée at this beautiful, peaceful location, and it truly could not have been more perfect.The home easily accommodated all of our friends with two king beds and one queen, making it comfortable for everyone. It’s just a quick 10–15 minute drive outside of downtown Traverse City, and also close to other charming towns like Suttons Bay and Leelanau, which made exploring the area easy and fun.The property was spotless, cozy, and well-maintained. Ben and Aviva were amazing hosts, so accommodating and even willing to go above and beyond to help set up the perfect proposal. Their kindness made the experience even more memorable.I honestly couldn’t rate this place higher. We’re already planning to come back next year to celebrate our one-year anniversary. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway near Traverse City!

Thank you so much for this incredible review Joshua! It truly means the world to us. Being part of such a meaningful moment for one of our very first guests is something we’ll never forget, and we’re honored that Streamside could serve as the backdrop to your engagement.
We’re so glad the home worked well for your group and that you had a chance to explore the towns in Leelanau County. Your kind words about the space (and about us!) are deeply appreciated.
We’ll be counting down the days until we welcome you back for your one-year anniversary!
About the host
Your host
My Wife grew up just outside Traverse City, and while we love visiting our family up north, we wanted a place of our own to stay—a quiet and beautiful home base that felt personal. So we bought this home and put in months of work to design and renovate it, turning it into not only a place you'll love, but one we do as well. This isn't just a rental to us, it's something we're proud to own and use frequently. We can't wait to host you!
Why they chose this property
We LOVE this part of Traverse City for so many reasons. The road we're located on, Cedar Valley Rd, runs through the Cedar Valley, a gorgeous valley between forested hills with a stream meandering through it. We are lucky enough to have this stream on our property, right in the backyard. Come experience the magic for yourselves!
What makes this property unique
Our thoughtful designs and renovations opened up this house, modernized it, and filled it with light. We have managed to bring a fraction of the beauty of the forest and stream into the home, and kept it incredibly comfortable in the process. Not to mention our top of the line amenities: Hot Tub, Sauna, Fire Pit, outdoor game area, grill, covered deck, coffee bar, and the fastest Wi-fi you'll find up north.
