Luxury Waterfront Log Home 15 min from Traverse City w/ Dock

Amazing property! Beautiful views, close to Traverse City and all the wineries…great place to hang out with friends - LOTS of room. Hope to visit again!

We loved our stay at Hilltop! The house was perfect for our family. The home and views were breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for a fantastic experience. See you next time!!

Log home exceeded our expectations in size, view and accommodations for our family.

Overall, a beautiful place. However, there are some items that do need some attention. but if those would be addressed, it would be a definite five star all the way. Accommodations are very comfortable, large gathering area, but also quiet areas where you can get away from the group if you would like to.

Fabulous, beautiful, laid out well, easy to get to!!

Absolutely spectacular. This vacation home overdelivered on our expectations. The house is beautiful, spacious and so well-equipped. It's set in the woods, surrounded by calming greenery and soothing birdsong with breathtaking vistas of Lake Michigan. Inside, everything is so well-appointed to make for the most comfortable stay. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked with everything you'll need and wish for, including well-honed chef's knives, serving bowls and platters of every size, multiple cutting boards, a food processor, a hand blender and upright blender, a microplane, All-Clad and Le Creuset pots and pans, and more. We love to cook and took full use of the incredible kitchen offerings. It was such a pleasure to enjoy our family meals on the deck overlooking the verdant trees and the lake at a short distance. Betsey, the property manager, was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. It was a truly wonderful vacation and we would be delighted to return, and definitely highly recommend.

This might be the cleanest vrbo we have ever rented. It was very spacious and the views of Traverse Bay were gorgeous. The only drawback was the beach/swimming area. The water level was a bit low and that may be why the dock area was not at all inviting for those wanting to swim. There was a foul odor and a lot of debris on the beach and a lot of grass/reeds growing off the end of the dock. But everyone in our family of 7 agreed they would rent this gorgeous house again.

We had an amazing stay at Hilltop Lodge. It lived up to all of the five-star reviews. It was so beautiful and had the most incredible views. The house was well-stocked and every detail well thought out. It had so much room that our family could each have our own space while also having lots of great areas to come together. The furniture and beds were so comfortable they just made you want to cozy in.Everything was of the highest standards. We loved to have our morning coffee out on one of the many outdoor areas while enjoying the view and to also sit on the deck and watch the sky turn colors at sunset. Suttons Bay was just a few minutes away. It, and the surrounding area, was also incredibly beautiful with many options of things to do and wonderful restaurants. There was something for everyone. We were all sad to leave and would love to come back someday.

Loved our stay at the lodge! It is equipped with everything you need to cook in, and the rooms are spacious and beautiful. We had two families stay for a good friends wedding and the living arrangements were perfect. We had a bonfire the last night and were treated to some fabulous and unexpected fireworks on the lake. Definitely would book again.

We feel so blessed to have found this home for our annual siblings' weekend getaway. There were ten of us who stayed, and this beautiful log cabinet accommodated us and exceeded our expectations by providing all of the amenities we could have needed. This log home was spacious which gave all of us plenty of space to be together or have some private time. The home is absolutely beautiful and is decorated as a piece of art. The grounds and views of Grand Traverse Bay were amazing. We highly recommend this home to anyone coming to the area! Thanks Lauren for hosting us!

A huge log lodge with space for everything a group would want to do and yet it still manages to feel very cozy. We enjoyed the house and views immensely and the location is great for visiting some wineries and getting out to great restaurants. But the kitchen is fully functional so you really wouldn't have to leave at all.

Great way to celebrate a new year.

What a wonderful place. The home is beautiful inside and out. Fantastic views of the bay. Everything we needed to enjoy the weekend, celebrating our son’s ole mission peninsula wedding. We’ll definitely be back!!

Our second year booking this amazing home for our annual trip to Michigan. We will definitely be booking again. Great views, location, and amenities.

What an awesome location so close to so many things to do! The home is beautiful and furnished with anything you would need. We all enjoyed the home, the views are breathtaking, and you can't beat the location. We will be back!

This house was spectacular! It was laid out nicely with privacy for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed…including spices…sometimes we have had to buy even salt and pepper at other houses. The basement game room had more games than we could get to in just 1 week. If there was any negative, it would be crossing a 55 mph road to get to the dock. Overall, we were very happy!
