    This was the perfect weekend retreat for my wife, 3 month old and I. Excellent host, from the point of booking she regularly checked in to make sure all needs were met. The home has all of usual needed amenities, including a delicious surprise in the fridge! The property feels very private, while still being close to all the typical Traverse City destinations. 5/5 stars!

    I love this place. Peace and quiet yet close to the sand dunes and Traverse City. It was a great place to do some writing, and just enjoy the quiet. The host is so helpful and responsive. It has everything I needed.

    Even though I had looked at the pictures of this property online, it was truly amazing! Very easy to get to (and Jules gave us detailed directions with the knowledge that some apps do not take you to the correct location. I used google maps and had no issues)., Text back with plenty of room for a boat or other watercraft behind. Walkable to the lake— We had every intention of walking across the road to a restaurant that had an outdoor tiki bar, but unfortunately, it was closed during our stay. The cottage had so many different cute little touches! The handwritten note left for us was amazing. Great communications when I was looking for extra sheets for the futon, We were obviously tired. It was a very obvious location! We love the screened in porch off the front and the second day. I was able to sit off the back deck since it stopped raining. The description of the different nuances that come with an older home, very detailed and helpful, as well as a little bit of humor thrown in! Everything has been recently remodeled down to the granite kitchen countertops, and bathroom. Not one, not two but three choices of coffee makers! I was in heaven. The bathroom was small, but we made it work even with three older teenagers and two adults! You must take some time to walk through the acreage surrounding the cottage. Such cute little accents all around! Since the restaurant was not open across the road, we went to Cedar Tavern a few miles away. Very good. Thank you so much!

    We enjoyed our stay in this quiet, charming location just outside of Traverse City. It is convenient to shopping, hiking, and disc golf and provided a relaxing place to recharge at the end of the day.
