    We had a very enjoyable time during our stay. The parking access close to the entrance and on the same level. The room and bedding was scent free and had plenty bedding and towels. The owner was very easy to contact and responded back to messages quickly when unable to answer the calls directly.

    Our stay was very quiet and beautiful. The property she has is absolutely gorgeous and it’s perfect if you’re looking for a small getaway. The area that it’s located in is also beautiful and there’s so many different sightseeing places within a few hours. I definitely will be booking again Because it was definitely worth my while.

    Our host was INCREDIBLE. Our host was Very Kind. Our host was GENEROUS. Our host went more than the extra mile. I can not thank our host enough. The location of the property and the property itself are worth a visit to Fife Lake, Michigan. My nephew was afraid of frogs before our stay and left the property a master catch and release frog expert. The accommodation was very clean and we had a comfortable stay,

    We had an amazing time during our stay at Fife Lake! It was clean, quiet, and stayed cool during some very hot days. It was a great base for us to go out and explore the Traverse City area. It was lovely to meet and chat with Tonya!

    The space was clean and cozy, great for a weekend getaway. Another light or two would have been good - even with all the lights on, it was a bit dark when playing cards or looking through the local activity guides (which were very much appreciated!)I thought the little labels on everything were a bit much at first, but I definitely saw the value on the last day - as I was bagging up our garbage, I saw a label behind the trash can that answered my question about where to put the stuff!I wish we would have had time to take the kayaks out for a spin, but it was great to know they were available. Make sure to take a minute to count the frogs in the pond!

    We came up north for a long weekend and found this location to be relaxing and so much fun. We were able to launch kayaks right down the street end enjoy Fife Lake. We were also able to visit with friends in Traverse City as it's just about a 1/2 hour ride. I would definitely recommend this place for your next stay!

    Tonya was the best host we have ever had! She really puts her heart into making sure her guests feel welcomed and comfortable. There were several personal touches, including fresh flowers, mints & chocolates, snacks, and cold drinks in the fridge. She thought of everything and then some! The property is so serene and peaceful, from the moment you get out of your car. It is a small town getaway that felt like home away from home. Tonya really went above and beyond!
