    You couldn’t have a better little home in Traverse City. It is close to a beach, all the downtown restaurants, and airport. The Haven had everything we needed including a fenced backyard. We will definitely stay here again.

    We stayed here for four nights and loved it. Our dog seemed to make herself at home pretty quickly and relaxed the entire time. We loved the hot tub and privacy fence so you can tune the world out and relax. It was a very good location for several local attractions.

    The Haven on Parsons was our home away from home for three weeks. The house is super clean, updated and super cute. From the pleasing decor and the extra amenities for our pets, the fully stocked kitchen and convenient location, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    From the second I booked the reservation the host was on top of everything. Check in was as easy as showing up. The password was flawless and we were in within seconds. Spotless and beautiful house. The property isnperfect. Hot tub was sent from above! Everytime I needed something I looked down and there it was!! We will be back 100% and no reason to look anywhere else. Perfect for our big doodle also. Thank you so much!!

    We’ve stayed at this cottage twice, and had wonderful experiences both times. The hosts are so pleasant and easy to work with, communicating proactively and responding quickly. Everything is clean, fresh, and well maintained, with thoughtful touches for humans and pups. Our dogs love running around the fully fenced yard. Thanks for another wonderful stay!

    Me, my husband, his brother, and our two pups enjoyed a lovely stay at the Haven on Parsons this past weekend. Check in was easy and we walked in to a warm, welcoming, clean cottage. Everything was exactly as described and the hosts were easy to work with. The hot tub was lovely, temperature / water pressure in the shower was great, the beds were comfy, and the kitchen was well stocked. Having a fenced in yard was a big plus for our dogs! There is some airport noise as they disclose - I wasn’t bothered, and those used to city living may not even notice it, but my husband appreciated his noise cancelling headphones at night. Location is close enough to get downtown quickly without being in the middle of it all. My in-laws were staying just around the corner so it was perfect for our family trip! Thanks to Jessica and Hosted by Cornerstone :) we had a great time!

    The house is perfect for my family and fur baby! We love how clean, organized and comfortable the house is. The host made you feel welcomed and provided all the necessities you would need to keep you comfortable in your stay. My dog also feels welcomed, and the house is truly a dog friendly place. We will for sure stay there again if we head back that way!!

    Perfect first VRBO experience! The home is beautiful and had everything you need in it. Modern, clean and well done. The only thing I wished would have been different is the location. The surrounding homes are run down quite a bit. Other than that it was perfect!

    The house was as described, dog friendly, clean and close to attractions. I especially appreciated the small secure fenced back yard for my K9 companion. The hot tub was nice after a day of activities.
