Great private family vacation home.

This home was perfect for our big family. Clean, very private and big enough for all three family’s to have their own space. The kitchen was well stocked and so we’re all the bathrooms. We loved the fire pit and the great wrap around porch to relax and watch the sunset. Great central location of Wineries, Lake Michigan and downtown Traverse City! Also, the little touches for the kids and the dog were great!

Great Experience

This could not have been more perfect! There was 7 of us total gals. We we very comfortable. The house is beautiful and the scenery is just as gorgeous. Plenty of towels, toilet paper, and beds! This was my first time using VRBO and if this is how it will be every time I can’t wait to do it again. Lots of gold stars to Matt!

Amazing

My trip was supposed to be a few family members and I but grew into more people, I had to find a bigger place and this house fit perfect. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the house was and how great the property management was, fast response great communication. The little extra things really makes a difference the setup is so good and they put women’s supplies, face wipes, extra toothbrushes, detergent, fabric softeners. I would stay again definitely! If you are considering it I would highly recommend.

The Perfect Getaway

The only downside of staying here was not wanting to leave. The hosts clearly take pride in creating the perfect getaway for the guests. We appreciated the idyllic setting of the property, cleanliness, and prompt communication throughout our stay. Amenities we particularly appreciated: high end grill with a full propane tank, ultimate campfire setting with ample seating and firewood ready, and quality mattresses not typically found in rentals. This VRBO experience far exceeded our group's expectations, and we are already thinking about when we will return. The location was a perfect launching pad to tour local wineries, trek downtown, and explore Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Great Family Weekend!

We had a beautiful winter weekend with our family! Lots of snow! The hot tub just added to the ambience. The house was perfect. Beautifully done and very clean. Amenities were so nice too. There were five children and 5 adults. The bedrooms worked great! So nice not having to lug a pack n play. Thanks for your patience and timely communication with us. It's always an adventure going into a new home. We hope to stay again sometime.
