    Our week long stay was wonderful. Marian and Tom were excellent hosts. We loved the location close to Travese City. The rental was very clean. It was nice to have a private beach. We highly recommend it!

    We loved everything about our stay! The house was very clean and welcoming. Hosts were great with excellent communication. Plenty to do in the area. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather and got to enjoy some time on the lake as well. Would definitely stay again!

    House was very clean and the property was beautiful. Clear lake, nice sandy beach. Owners were extremely nice and helpful. Great location to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, etc. 6 adults and a 1 year old fit perfectly in the house. The door between the kitchen and sleeping area was a definite bonus to help keep noise at bay for the sleeping baby. We were able to take lots of day trips and explore the area (hiking, wineries, shopping). Went to Leelanau State Park and passed many cute towns on the way (Sutton’s Bay, Northport) and also visited Glen Arbor, which was another great little town. Use of the kayaks and stand up paddle board were great, and the rope swings on the tree were fun. Beautiful porch to sip your morning coffee on and watch the sunrise over the lake, or relax and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. Loved our stay!

    Great property! Very clean cottage in an outstanding location. On a lake but so close to all that Traverse City has to offer. Owners were very pleasant and allowed us to bring our jet skis. Kayaks, SUPs and fire pits available to share, along with a nice beach. Only drawback was no washer and dryer, but just bring extra clothes, so not a big deal. Great experience. Would stay again.

    Marian and Maple Grove Cottage was a cute cottage on Silver Lake - about 10-15 min to downtown Traverse City. We were a party of 2 adults, 4 young adults and 1 teen. The cottage was clean and we appreciated the updated furniture with USB ports and WiFi. Also very nice to be able to use our Netflix and Hulu accounts on the living room TV. We spent most of our time outside - swimming, fishing off the dock or using the kayaks and paddle boards provided. It was a little of a Bed and Breakfast feel as the owners live Nextdoor and there is another cottage you share the beach and amenities with. This was a very friendly -family oriented place which was perfect for us. Marian was an excellent communicator and Tom even had to rescue us when our rented boat ran out of gas! How great was that! Thank you for allowing us a getaway during the COVID situation :)
