Great Place!!

We took our mom (78 yoa) for a nice relaxing weekend w/family. Spent time at the National Cherry Festival, went to Moomers (a couple times), visited shops, and ate at many restaurants. Had a great time, wish the weather was a little nicer, but we’ll take it!

Perfect for our family

We come up for Cherry festival every summer. This was the first time we stayed as a family under one roof. The house was perfect place for us to stay. Plenty of entertainment for the kiddos in the basement and yard. The open concept was nice to meet with everyone in the morning and figure out plan for the day.

Family Gathering

Wonderful property in a great location. We weren't there for the beach, but it's in super close proximity to Long Lake. Also a quick jaunt to golf and restaurants and downtown Traverse City. We really enjoyed our stay. Large bedrooms, plenty of towels and essentials in the bathrooms and kitchen. Great games in the basement as well. Overall, we had a great time connecting with our adult kids in an environment where everyone had everything they needed to be comfortable!

Fantastic home for large groups.

We stayed here for annual BFF weekend and this place did not disappoint. We are a group of 8 that get together in a new location annually. This home was very accommodating. We enjoyed the bonfire pit out back and played games in the basement. This home is located near Traverse City where we enjoyed shopping and wineries. We also took a trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes. I don’t think we’ll make it back since we goto a new location every year (I’m located in Georgia), but we highly recommend this home. You won’t be disappointed.

Girls Weekend

We came up north with 6 ladies and this property met all of our needs. The house was clean neat in a quiet neighborhood central to many Traverse City activities. The bedrooms were comfortable and very accurate from the details in the listing. Ample amenities, stocked kitchen, -we especially loved the perfect sized coffee mugs! We did run a little low on paper towels and toilet paper, but that did not overshadow our satisfaction with the property. Great neighborhood to walk around. Everyone got a few walks in over the weekend. Leo was a great host and answered questions very promptly. We would stay here again!

Great house in a great location

Our family of 5 (kids 9, 11 and 14) stayed for three nights. The house was in a lovely neighborhood close to Long Lake. Property was super clean and just as pictured. It had everything we needed. Our kids had a great time playing games in the basement and we all had room to spread out. Another family could have easily joined us. We love the area and its proximity to everything. We spent one day at the Sleeping Bear Dunes and the beach. The next we took a hike to the Hippie Tree, picked fruit and ate lunch at Jacob’s Farm and did a tasting at Rove Winery before enjoying a family movie night on the couch (where we all fit). We only wish we had more time to stay. Thanks for the memories!

This space exceeded my expectations! Very clean, felt genuinely homey, and you can tell how much attention to detail and effort was put into this space to make it feel like a true home away from home. The best rental property I have ever booked, and look forward to potentially booking again.
