We absolutely loved the house and the town of Northport for our long weekend stay! It was the perfect location to enjoy the fall colors and everything the town has to offer. The location makes it easy to walk to anything in town and the house itself was well appointed and overall a great experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to visit Northport!
we had a wonderful stay. Home was very clean and comfortable. Frank was a great host and very responsive. Highly recommend. Enjoyed the close proximity to town.
Very nice stay in Northport. Place was clean, and well stocked, communication with the hosts was timely, and the kitchen/living room layout lent itself well to family gathering. We were in town for a wedding, and easily walked everywhere.
The house was the perfect spot for myself and 8 of the women in my family for our annual Wine Weekend. Plenty of room for everyone! The hot tub was awesome and the location couldn’t have been better to enjoy downtown Northport. This is the 8th year we’ve made this trip and definitely one of the best properties we’ve stayed at!
This was a great place to stay. The house was was very clean, had lots of space to spread out, and was in a great location. The house very nicely housed a family of four, a family of three, and a family of one. The hosts were great and included many little things that made our stay even more enjoyable. The many items available for the small children was one of the biggest perks for us because it meant less we needed to pack. We would absolutely stay here again!
This property was a wonderful home for ourselves, our adult children and their families to use as a base to explore the area north of Traverse City. It had absolutely every possible amenity thoughtfully supplied by the owners. The most informative and ease of use reservation system we have ever encountered. The property was spotless, very well equipped, and very well located in the village of Northport. As seasoned guests of many VRBO properties, we say well done to Jaene and Frank.
We had a great stay at Frank & Janae’s home. This was our first time staying in Northport, though we’ve visited the Leelanau Peninsula annually for decades. Three families shared the home comfortably, and it was nice to have bedrooms and a bathroom on each level. We loved the house’s proximity to the beach in Northport, as well as to all the shops in town (we loved the sandwiches at New Bohemian Cafe). Our kids also enjoyed fishing at the pond just next to the property. The patio area was beautiful, and we enjoyed many evenings on the patio having dinner, making s’mores, and using the hot tub. We had one small issue (with wasps near the front door), and the hosts had someone remedying the issue within hours (and then they checked on it again a couple days later, which we appreciated). We had a wonderful week and would absolutely stay here again!
We had 2 families stay at this beautiful home to celebrate a yearly reunion with friends in Northport!The description and pictures were an accurate summary of the home! Our host was extremely helpful with a simple issue that arose while we were there. We found the home to have all the amnesties of our home!We loved everything about it!
Our large family came for a winter holiday and had a wonderful time. The host is SO helpful, clear and communicative. We get a rental around Michigan every new year and this was our favorite so far!
Our stay was perfect from beginning to end. The house was so well equipped. I truly have never stayed anywhere that has supplied or made available every single thing you could possibly imagine needing.
The property owner was amazing. They went above and beyond what they were required. He contacted us the week before to answer any questions we might have and to give us a website link that was like our own personal concierge.
I highly recommend them and their property.
Gorgeous home with all the amenities, great location walking distance to everything Northport has to offer! Frank and Janae were wonderful hosts and addressed any concerns or questions we had very promptly! The only issue we had which ruined our night was at 8pm we were outside playing games with the kids and got yelled at by the neighbor for apparently being too loud which we were not he was just a cranky old man however this issue was addressed by frank and janae very quickly! Other than that it was a fantastic time!
