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.

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.

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!

Beautiful property and a beautiful space. Very well kept and stocked with all the necessities. The projector and fire pit were an added bonus. Easy access to nearby towns and fun activities. Would stay again for sure!
This house was delightful! It was super clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The location was great. We had 5 teens and they loved the fire pit and projector. We highly recommend this house!!!
We recently stayed at this property and were thoroughly impressed. The house was very clean and well-maintained. The location was excellent, making it easy for us to explore the surrounding area. The layout and amenities were perfect for our group of three couples, offering both privacy and comfortable communal spaces. The decor was cute and comfortable, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a convenient and cozy stay.
Good internet, clean, owner flexible with great communication, nice furnishings, good shower pressure, well stocked. Great bed (at least the one I slept in). Could use some curtains on main floor to block out sun and for privacy. Overall pleasant stay.
