We didn't have the best luck with the weather, but the house was beautiful and Tanja couldn't have been nicer. We hope to be back some day.
The home is perfect for a large family or several smaller families. I visited with my three kids, siblings and mother and we had plenty of space. The location can’t be beat. A beautiful beach on the big lake and five minute drive to Leland. Traverse City, Suttons Bay, Sleeping Bear Dunes and so much more can be reached within a half hour. I have stayed in a lot of nice vacation rentals over the years, and the host, Tanja, is the best I’ve experienced. Despite a tight turnaround after the previous guests, she was able to check us in early and kept us updated on progress the entire day. And the house was immaculate. She went above and beyond in making our arrival seamless and even had a custom cake waiting for us with a welcome greeting written in frosting. I couldn’t begin to suggest how they could do things better. It was perfect.
We had a wonderful fun stay at this property. We were surprised with many extras at this property, the paddle boards, and the kayaks, were a real hit for the grandchildren. The house is beautiful and clean and the neighborhood is nice and pleasant. It seemed like everything was easy to get to from Sleeping Bear Dunes, to Leland, to several other small towns with shops, and etc. The Ping pong table seemed to never be unused, and the selection of books and videos would keep you busy if you wore yourself out doing any of the activities. Tanja was a joy to talk to, and was available for questions before or during our stay, and seemed to genuinely enjoy making our stay the best. We were also surprised by how clear and clean Lake Michigan was, and with the beauty of the house everything just went together.
Great location and lovely home. The property owner was responsive and very easy to deal with. Looking forward to our next visit
We stayed here for a second time for many reasons - beautiful location, access to local spots/dunes, lake access with available kayaks/SUP, etc. A very easy stay with books, games, puzzles, movies, and ping pong for the kids. The hosts are fabulous.
Thanks soo much Tanja for the use of your house!!! This house has everything you need inside and out. The beach chairs are plentiful and the couchs on the deck were comfy. We had mor tha enough Kykaks. Our family still talks about how much fun they had in the water and in the sand. The deck area was very comfortable lots if seating. Very quiet area. The view from the house was amazing. The kitchen definitely is stocked for cooking. We had fresh fish on the grill that was amazing! We will be back.
Lovely, welcoming, very well-equipped, clean house in an unbeatable location with wonderful hosts. We had an amazing, relaxing week and will be back!
Our group of 10, ranging from 4yo to 65yo, stayed for a week in June. The owners are VERY nice and are quickly responsive. They stock the house with everything you need but food and clothing... spices, cookware, paper goods, soaps, beach towels, firewood, beach chairs, kayaks, you name it! The house was very clean and everything worked properly. The pictures don't do this place justice. The outdoor living spaces are phenomenal... the yard is big enough to play in; there's a nice seating area down by the beach; the screened in porch is huge and well furnished; the deck is huge and well furnished; and there's a fire pit established on the beach. The view is the BEST... the water is crystal clear and mostly calm (great for kayaking and paddle boarding) and the view of the islands, dunes, and sunsets are phenomenal. Also, the house is close to many quaint, touristy towns and some really good wineries. Plus, you are right by Sleeping Bear Dunes, which is a beautiful drive and offers great hiking. We drove 2.5 hours north to the Macinac Ferry and were able to visit the island, see Charlevoix, see Petosky, and see Torch Lake all in a day-trip. Overall, the house is super clean, well furnished, comfortable, sits at a perfect location, has amazing outdoor spaces, and offers the most beautiful views of Lake Michigan. DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THIS HOME!
No words or pictures can truly do this property justice. Perfect for our family birthday get together with plenty of room for all families. House was extremely clean and stocked with everything we needed and more. We loved cooking dinner together and watching the sunsets. Hosts were very easy to communicate with and gave great suggestions for places to eat and running trails nearby. Would love to come back during warmer weather to spend more time on the deck and beach.
This was, without a doubt, one of the best rental experiences we’ve ever had. Location is convenient to Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear, but even closer to Leland where there are some cute shops and great restaurants. The home was clean, comfortable, and very well cared for. The kitchen was large and incredibly well stocked with just about everything you could want to cook a nice meal. The furniture, including the beds, was clean and comfortable. The screened in porch is lovely and the rest of the outdoor space was magnificent. Unfortunately our trip was during the height of the “midge” bug season which meant swarms of tiny bugs so we didn’t get to spend too much time outside but that was obviously not the host’s fault. And by the way the host is incredible. Friendly, welcoming, and available to answer any questions or offer suggestions. They left an arrival gift that was very much appreciated and even mailed us back an item that we forgot. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. We won’t soon forget the glorious sunset views. Thank you Arndt and Tanja for an unbelievable visit.
