Whenever I had a question the host answered back quickly. All we had to do is tidy up and clean a few dishes, empty the trash with no quibble. An awesome stay and weekend -Quiet and peaceful for sure.

    It has become a yearly tradition for many years to stay at this lovely cottage. Mary is a wonderful and thoughtful host. The cottage was immaculate, well appointed, and the location is ideal on a quiet lane, just a short walk from a beautiful lake and just a few minutes from downtown Traverse City and other points of interest nearby.

    Had an event in Traverse for a friend on Sat evening. House was located out of town in a very clean, quiet neighborhood. Stay was absolutely perfect for the 5 of us for the night. Didnt have time to take advantage of the beach but it looked very inviting. We'd definitely stay again given the opportunity. Thank you!

    Lovely home. We were only able to stay a coupke of days, and the days were rainy and gloomy. When it's sunny and warm, the lake and surrounding views would be lovely.

    Everything we needed was on hand and easy to find. From kitchen utensils and spices in the kitchen to soap and towels for the beach, everything was handy and easy to find. The gift cards and goodies that we found at the kitchen table really made us feel all welcome. It was also nice and quite by the lake. Would definitely stay here again.

    This home was more than we expected as first time VRBO travelers. Three friends each had our own rooms plus the time together using the living room and kitchen. So much nicer than doing hotels. We were able to do everything we intended for the TC area and stay within our budget. Our hosts were wonderful. Would definitely come back again with a similar size group of friends.
