Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Property was fantastic. Couldn’t have asked for a better location that was close to the city, but just far enough outside to relax and unwind. The lake is beautiful and the bass fishing was great as well. The canoe and kayaks that are available were a nice bonus. The host was responsive during the entire process and communicated with us on a regular basis. The host even gave us some great recommendations on several area restaurants that were great. I would not hesitate to stay here again in the future.

The host was very communicative and offered LOTS of recommendations for visiting Traverse City. The cabin was cute, very clean, and very well stocked with everything we could've wanted for our trip. This cabin is set back from the water. So, if you want to overlook the water, I'd recommend booking the blue cabin instead of the green one.
