Nice little place with the perfect view. Had everything we needed. Would have loved a fireplace outside but really only complaint
Quiet setting and great location for the area attractions with most sites being less than 30 minutes from the house.
VRBO - you did it again. Another fantastic vacation because of your system of booking.

We don't vacation too much, but we always use and will continue to use, and share with others to use your services!
We were visiting friends in Traverse City for the first time so this location was perfectly in the middle between Sleeping Bear Dune NP and the Platte River, and the bay in traverse city where we had activities planned during our stay. The view of Lake Bronson was beautiful and there is publuc access just one driveway over...so you could bring your own kayaks. Nothing but good to say!
We enjoyed several nights on this lakefront property. Clean and spacious. Hosts were prompt and helpful. Lake was fantastic for kayaking and fishing. Will come back!
Everything about this place was wonderful. The hosts were very easy to work with, thoughtful, kind, and had great tips for any activity. The house is very clean and has everything that you need. A beautiful and peaceful lake view was private and remote yet close enough to anything we wanted to do. I really hope to return and unwind here again soon.
Our stay here was relaxing and a perfect place to re-fuel your tank from the hustle and bustle of life. This cottage is impeccably clean and Ray and Shirley make it so easy to check in and are available with any questions. We certainly will stay again in the future.
We were greeted by the owners upon arrival who helped us with local places to eat and explore. The cottage was so pretty on the private lake. Very quiet and relaxing during our stay. Thank you Ray and Shirley!!
Excellent
The property was perfect for our little family of 3. I would definitely stay here again!
The property had every thing we needed. If you need to relax this place will give you that. We were close to everything i have never seen Lake MICHIGAN look so clear and beautiful. It was so quiet and peaceful up there . Shirley was a great host.
Just far enough away from everything yet close enough to enjoy it all.
