    Perfect for two people who want a quiet relaxing getaway, but also just close enough to down town and a lot of other places to explore. 10/10- we had a blast.

    We loved our stay at this property which was conveniently located to Traverse City. The host communicated clearly with us and met us upon arrival. The property is very clean and had everything we needed for our 2 night stay.

    We had a lovely stay. The location was so convenient to Traverse City, but still felt remote and peaceful. It was too wet to sit outside, but the lake was beautiful. The house was just the right size for two. A spectacular home-base for leaf-peeping.

    The small house was just what my wife and I needed for our stay. The location was convenient for our travels around the area. The coffee and snacks provided were much appreciated. We especially liked being able to enjoy our bottle of wine by the lake in the evening.
