Stayed Jul 27, 2025We loved this place, and can’t wait to return. The house, was perfect size, for my husband and I. It was well equipped, and had a wide open feel, with all the large windows. The views, were beautiful in all directions. It had lush green well maintained property, and of course, a lake view. The few steps to the perfect sand beach, to swim, and just relax, made it very hard to leave!!

Stayed Aug 25, 2024I have been coming to TC for years and have never stayed a place as perfect as John and Terry’s… proximity to town, private oasis of the property, the sunset views (this place hits all the check marks) I already miss the view with the windows open And AM breeze … hosts are also wonderful - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Stayed Jul 28, 2024A fun, relaxing, lake getaway. The cottage was a perfect size for our family of 5 (one infant). The water is just steps away. John and Terri are great hosts!

Stayed Jul 21, 2024The hosts, John and Terrie were fabulous, so kind, generous, knowledgeable about the area and very welcoming and always provided lots of privacy. The guest house was perfect with beautiful sunset views, easy walk to downtown Traverse City, the location couldn't be any better and right by the Blue Goat wine market for added festivities. Highly recommend 10/10!!

Stayed Jul 14, 2024My husband, two young daughters, and our 2 year old golden retriever had a great week at Terrie and John’s place. The location could not be more perfect. We could walk to so many places! Next year when the construction is complete we’ll bring bikes. The best part, as soon as you turn into the property, you are surrounded by trees and then the lake frontage so it felt like you were far from the hustle and bustle. The cottage was well stocked; just needed to bring our food/drink. I used Shipt and Instacart to deliver our groceries which worked great as well. We would love to return!
