Close to Town / Quiet Location

The house is very large, the downstairs living room is smaller. Good for 4 adults. The upstairs has a massive game room. The house is very clean and cozy with a nice fenced backyard. Our favorite part was the trailhead right next door to take a quick hike and walk the dogs. The house is 10 minutes from the grocery store and right outside of TC to give a quiet and peaceful place to relax.

Amazing TC location!

We stayed here for an annual girls trip weekend. The location was perfect and the house is more spacious than expected. Our advice is to bring your own pillows, as the pillows supplied lacked comfort.

Excellent Location

"We had an amazing stay! The location was perfect—close to downtown, yet with a charming country-like feel that gave us the best of both worlds. The space was fantastic for our group of friends, offering plenty of room and lots of thoughtful amenities. We especially loved the fire pit, cornhole, and the cozy ambiance, which made for a memorable fall evening. Everything about our stay was comfortable and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with friends!"

Girls weekend

We had a group of nine ladies for the weekend for wine tasting. This place was great with all the space we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked unlike many others we have stayed at before. A great location as it’s close to so many things.

Great Place to Stay

Beautiful, clean property. Expansive so no one felt crowded. Location was great relative to town and activities. Only one negative was that we had to buy our own toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, and trash bags. Nevertheless, we would stay here again.

Great location

Traverse City was only a few minutes away and easy access to the sites. Sleeping Bear dunes and Torch lake about 30-40 minutes away and easy drives. WiFi was a little slow, but we spent most of our time outdoors and seeing the local area.

Great stay

Great stay in a wonderful house, quiet, lots of bedrooms and bathrooms to fit everyone, super fenced in backyard for kids and adults, grass area for dogs. Incredible amenities, games, outside seating area, grill, and 2 family room areas with comfortable couches. Host was wonderful, even let us check in early and add dates to the calendar. House was within 15 minutes of the horse show and in a great location, close to grocery stores, restaurants, and downtown. We would love to stay again.
