Great Home Base For Girls Trip

Had a great stay at Blake's place in Cedar! The house was fantastic and the perfect home base for our girls trip up north. The hot tub was the perfect temp and it got just cold enough at night to enjoy a fire. I highly recommend this location and hope to visit again!

Nice home

Really enjoyed the quiet area. Accommodations suited our family of four so each young adult had a room to sneak away. The outdoor area provided a great hot tub and fire pit that we used during our stay.

Peaceful Property

Our family had a great stay in Cedar, Michigan! The property is very clean and beautiful! The location is great as you are close to Traverse City and Good Harbor Bay Beach. This would be a place our family would love to stay at again and the owner was very responsive to questions and just checking in during our stay.

40th Birthday Celebration

The house was immaculate and decorated beautifully. The hot tub was wonderful and the views of the changing fall colors around us was a bonus. The house is located near wineries and they were easy to get too. I have stayed at several properties and this one was exceptional.

Leelenau Getaway

Absolutely beautiful and superbly cleaned property. Had an awesome stay. Loved the benefit of the hot tub for a morning and late night soak. Great location only 15 mins to several beaches and Leland. Loved Moomers and Boone Long Lake Inn. 9 Bean Rows had great pastries. Look forward to booking again in the winter.highly recommend.

Friends 40th birthday celebration

Wooded Tranquil Retreat was perfect for our weekend away to celebrate a 40th birthday. We enjoyed the nearby wineries and restaurants during the day and were able to relax in the hot tub and by the fire at night. The host was attentive and quickly responded to any question I had. The house was clean & cute! Would definitely book again in the future.

Great Place to Stay and Explore the Traverse City Area

We had a wonderful stay at this home for our "mystery trip" with friends. The house was very clean, well supplied and conveniently located for us to explore the Leelanau Peninsula, Old Mission Peninsula, Traverse City, Maple City and the Glen Arbor/Empire area. We enjoyed a wonderful bonfire after our full day out and found the house to be very comfortable. Blake was a great host and he got back to us very quickly with answers to any questions we had.

Perfect Up North Place to Stay!

Hard to imagine there is a better place to stay for a trip up north. Close enough to anything you could want to do but far enough away to enjoy a peaceful and private night around the fire. The property was strikingly clean when first entering. It truly felt like the owners thought of everything that could be needed. We spent our trip being away golfing most of the time and wished we would have set a day aside to enjoy the home more. We cant wait to book another trip here!

Best experience I have had with a vrbo!

We had such a wonderful time! This is a perfect spot for anyone: romantic getaway, friends, or bringing your family. This location was perfect. It had a country feel with the backyard but we were only 15 minutes to downtown. The house was clean and organized. The host had a binder with all of the information we needed and was quick to respond. They had AC units keeping the temp perfect the whole stay. The beds were so comfortable. The hot tub was wonderful. We had no issues or complaints. We will absolutely stay here again.

Perfect home near Traverse

We planned a trip to the UP and on our way back to OH we stayed at this beautiful new home just outside of Traverse. The location was perfect for visiting Traverse and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We felt at home here. The decor in each room was perfect. The house is beautiful, comfortable and very spacious and had all the accommodations we needed. The firepit was perfect for making smores. We didn't get a chance to use the hot tub but it looked inviting. Blake was super responsive. I would highly recommend staying here. We would stay here again for sure. Thank you Blake for making this home perfect!

Perfect Tranquil Getaway in Leelanau County

It was a pleasure staying at this beautiful home in Leelanau County! We were struck by the tranquility and peacefulness of the setting, nestled in a beautiful wooded area. The home itself is BRAND NEW, spacious, incredibly well-equipped and comfortable. The hot tub and firepit were definite highlights. After exploring Traverse City and Leelanau County, we enjoyed romantic and relaxing evenings underneath the stars. The attention to detail in the decor and furnishings made the space feel both luxurious and cozy! What truly set this stay apart, though, was the wonderful hospitality of the owners. They were incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay, making us feel truly welcome. 10/10 recommended. We can't wait to return! Thanks Blake!

Beautiful and comfortable

This home was perfect for our needs. It was clean, comfortable, and had beautiful views. We wanted to go wine tasting all weekend but the weather had other plans. We were able to go wine tasting the first night and come back to relax in the hot tub. It was nice that the hot tub was right outside the door, so we didn’t have to go far in the cold weather. The views were beautiful, and it was so peaceful. We managed to get out for breakfast the next morning and buy provisions in the before hunkering down for the rest of the 2nd day. The living room and dining area was so comfortable. We sipped wine and played games all evening and enjoyed watching the snow fall. Blake is a wonderful host. He reached out to me before and during our stay. He quickly responded to our messages and made sure we were able to reach him immediately. He kept the driveway plowed, so we could get in and out. I would definitely recommend this home for your Traverse City getaway.

This place was great! My son and I were road tripping through Northern Michigan and needed a cool spot for our Traverse City / Leelanau Cty adventures. Super relaxing home in a beautiful country setting. The hot tub was great and we did s'mores by the campfire at night. It's a short easy drive to/from TC. I wish we stayed longer! We'll definitely be back!
