Great quiet getaway spot!

My husband and I stayed here & had a great time! It’s a nice and quiet location but conveniently located near everything in TC. We enjoyed coffee on the deck on the lake which was super nice. We also took the canoe out one night and the lake was so beautiful & serene. The house was clean & had everything we needed :)

Relaxing Little Hideaway

This cabin is great for any couple looking to get away. It had all the essentials for our weekend trip to see Sleeping Bear Dunes. You’re still close enough to the downtown core of Traverse City that going to the beach, going out to eat (we recommend Mama Lu’s for some amazing street tacos), or going shopping is no burden. However, you’re also far enough back that at the cabin you can truly relax, enjoy nature, and appreciate the amazing lake view. Mike & Maureen are great hosts, and for our next trips out this way we will try and book this stay again!
