    Perfect location for tooling around Traverse City. House was great, hot tub was superb. We didn’t get to explore around in the park out back, but we are looking forward to a summer return! Highly recommend this home and host!

    Very great location very close to Traverse City. I think they were very great to mention that it is on the main road. If my kids are a little bit younger, probably a little bit too close, but my oldest really loved being near the stream seeing all the fish… they loved the hot tub. They loved the Fire pit. It was great to be a quick drive into Traverse City. Very clean and cute .

    Sweet little cabin next to a creek and an easy walk to the beach. Perfect place to explore Traverse City, Big Bear Dunes and attend performances at Interlochen School of the Arts. The hosts thought of everything to make you feel at home, comfortable beds, attractive spaces indoors and out to hang out and a well-equipped kitchen.

    My husband had a work conference at the Grand Traverse Resort and we decided to turn it into a long-weekend in TC with our family of 5 and 2 dogs (kids aged 7-11). The location of this property was perfect - only about 8 min drive to downtown, 3-4 min to Toms grocery (even closer to Costco), and 8 min to the resort for his meetings. Plus, only a 3-4 min walk to the closest beach! It is right next to the airport, which worried me a little, but I really didn't notice any airplane noise. As mentioned by others, it is on a fairly busy road, but there is a large privacy fence in place which makes it so you can't even tell (other than a little road noise at busy times of the day). The house is right on a gorgeous little creek, with a beautiful view from the living room. Crystal clear water, and my kids had a great time watching the fish and ducks from the bridge & along the riverbank. The home itself was comfortable and had everything we needed. I appreciate the fact that they included lots of the little things that other properties make you buy on your own (paper towels, tissues, toilet paper, dog waste baggies, etc). They had easy access to several washer and drier units in the basement. Just a few small things that weren't deal breakers - the sliding door outside from the main bedroom was really hard to lock, and while the heating did work, we had to crank it way up to get the place to feel warm enough. But nothing that was really a big deal. Overall, a fantastic stay!

    My husband and I came for almost a week, the property is lovely and clean. Kitchen had all we needed and the property is definitely well-thought out. Plenty of towels for the hot tub, basic necessities and owners are very responsive. Only downside is the street noise is noticeable but we just played music which covered it easily.

    Great place to stay while we were in TC for a soccer tournament. Loved the layout and there was plenty of room. We also enjoyed the privacy outside. Our dog loved the surrounding nature and the creek as well as being able to walk to the state park to play in the sand & water.

    Wow! We loved this stay. Unique property that was as clean as brand new. Spotless! Sitting in the living room made us feel like we were in a Japanese garden. The stream outside is lovely. The beds were super comfortable and we appreciated the great pillows. The location was terrific for the activities we pursued. Could not be more pleased!
