About this property

The Holiday House | Modern Wooded Retreat Near TC & Trails | Sauna

  • Nestled among the tranquil woodlands of East Bay, this contemporary residence offers an idyllic setting for your next getaway. Situated just east of downtown Traverse City, it places you within a convenient 5 min drive of Mt. Holiday, the VASA Trail, and Timber Ridge, while downtown TC is a mere 15 minutes away. Additionally, you’ll find many local breweries, pizzerias, and grocery stores nearby.

    If cool design, wild siding choices, and a super comfy layout are your jam, book The Holiday House!

    THE SPACE:
    This inviting two-story residence is complete with a spacious full basement. The upper level features two cozy bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom, and a charming mini-living area, all complemented by a delightful outdoor birds-nest deck offering serene wooded views.

    On the main level, you’ll discover a generously sized kitchen and living area, a well-equipped bathroom, a coffee bar, and an impressive, sprawling deck perfect for gatherings. Notably, the kitchen boasts a unique feature—the entire oven doubles as an air fryer!

    In the basement, you’ll find laundry facilities, an additional bedroom, and a high-definition projector ready to transform your movie nights into cinematic experiences, complete with a popcorn corner for that authentic theater feel.

    Outside, you'll find the perfect space to unwind, featuring a grand fire pit with comfortable seating and a new cedar sauna for you to enjoy. For your convenience, a Level 2 charging station with a J1772 plug is also installed for guests with electric vehicles.

    LISTING ACCESS:
    Convenience and security are paramount, with smart locks granting easy access to the house. There is tons of space for parking and a lot of privacy from neighbors.

    We are always happy to help and remain available to you throughout your stay via VRBO messaging, with an average response rate of under 1 hour. Our phone number is also provided to you during check-in for any urgent requests or emergencies.

    THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
    Nestled just 15 min from the heart of Traverse City and situated right on the outskirts of Acme, the Holiday Hills neighborhood is directly across from the eastern shoreline of Grand Traverse Bay. This is the perfect location for those looking for the ease and convenience of being close to downtown while also looking to enjoy outdoor recreation.

    NOTES:
    If you’re planning a winter stay, bear in mind that Northern Michigan is Old Man Winter’s homeland. Roads can get slippery and may go unplowed, and events could be rescheduled or canceled. We strongly recommend arriving with a well-prepared vehicle equipped with all-wheel drive or snow tires.

    Please note that we have a Nest home doorbell/camera for added security during your stay.

    If you have babies coming to stay let us know ahead of time and we will have pack n’ plays, baby gates, sound machine, and high chairs ready!
    If you’re booking winter dates, remember that Northern Michigan is the childhood home of Old Man Winter. Roads can be slick and go unplowed. Events might get canceled or rescheduled. We require that you bring a well-prepared vehicle with all-wheel/4-wheel drive or snow tires to this rental in the winter months.

    Please be respectful of the neighbors, and this is a no-party property!
