Summary:
This charming cottage situated on an especially lovely large wooded lot is oozing with style and comfort, and is just perfect for a get- away. Your hub is serene and relaxing, yet close to town for dining, shopping, entertainment and beaches. The interior spaces are light and airy, and you can see and feel the property's natural abundance from every room.

ALL guests must be 25+ unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The Space:
2 Bedrooms- 1 Queen, and 1 Full, 1 trundle (twin)
Fully equipped kitchen for cooking meals, however, there is no dishwasher. Consider this an opportunity to bond with your travel mates in the old fashioned you wash, I'll dry kind of way. There is a large flat screen TV for streaming your own service accounts.

Guest Access:
Welcome to northern Michigan, where our wintertime weather can swing from glorious to ferocious in a flash. Each of our properties has snow removal service scheduled to plow with each snowfall amounting to at least 3 inches of snow. If the vehicle you bring is not 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive, please be aware of the potential risks accessing the property when snow is present.

The Neighborhood:
This off-the-beaten-path cottage sits on a private wooded lot, with a babbling brook flowing through the length of the back of the property. Beyond the stream is a large area for a fire pit and a small hiking trail takes you to the top of a beautiful overlook. The grassy side yard feels like it goes on for miles and pops with colorful flowers in the summer.

The local TART trail for long walks is less than a mile away. Empire Beach - on the shores of Lake Michigan - is a 30 minute drive from your door, as well as some of the most stunning hiking trails in the US. (See cover of Dec 2020 National Geographic.)

    Cute old cottage. No air conditioning, it was stuffy, couldn’t open windows. No lights in back yard, so when going out to fire pit, it was dangerous! The bottom rusted out from fire pit and set the ground(mulch) on fire! Went to get water to put out fire and fell(I am 74) because of it being so dark! No dishwasher either! Would not go back. Maybe for young couple with kids.

    This is a great property, and the property management company was outstanding with wonderful communication. The cottage was very clean and well furnished with a wonderful, secluded back yard. One minor suggestion would be to provide kitchen/dish towels.

    So close to Gallagher farms and the wedding we attended that this cute house also let us explore the Lelanau bike path and down town traverse city. Natural creek in the back yard was perfect to recover from a long run. The house is cute and perfect for our small family with a small doggie. The location was phenomenal and the management was w to our random concerns.

    Very nice property, good location for both accessing Traverse City and the Leelanau peninsula. Good communication from host, clear instructions. Cottage was very clean but the living room furniture had a clear noticeable dog smell. Wifi worked fine, but no local tv reception (streaming was fine). Very satisfied, no other complaints.

    Our family of three enjoyed a quiet weekend here. This cottage is a good value, with comfortable interior and all the amenities you would hope for. We loved the huge yard and the backyard fire pit. No neighbors within view and light traffic on the road out front made the experience quiet and enjoyable. Communication with our host was excellent. Would book this property again.

    We enjoyed our stay. The property is beautiful and well appointed if you would like to cook or just hang out by the fire pit.

    We stayed for a few days and the property was fine. Quick responses from management when needed. This is a pet friendly space and there was a lot of pet hair throughout the home so keep that in mind if you have sensitivity/allergies. Also, there were a lot of bees on the property so we weren’t able to enjoy the yard as much as we had hoped. The price difference from VRBO to the property management website was really shocking - really surprised to see how much we could have saved NOT booking through VRBO so that was really unfortunate. There was a nice park nearby that we visited frequently and it was a quick drive to downtown and amenities.

    This was our second time staying and we will keep coming back. Great location because it's quiet but still close to everything you need.

    Couldn’t ever find such a nice place that is so dog friendly! Molly, golden retriever, remembered it from last year. We’ll be back next year. Traverse is also cool this time of year.
