    Such a delightful property! This is our second time staying at this home, and we had a wonderful experience both times. The house is clean and close to town. Having the beach right out the back door can’t be beat, and the lounge/bar area off the beach is so convenient. Such a fun getaway for the whole family!

    Beautiful home right on the water. Bonus outdoor bar and living room where we slept one night. Woke up to sounds of waves and views of sailboats. Magical!

    Beautiful property, right on the bay. Easy access to the water for kids to walk in and enjoy the water. Bay views from 2 bedrooms and enjoyed the sounds of the waves crashing from the deck.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the absolutely beautiful for you off the deck and having access to the beach right on property. The lapping of the waves was very peaceful to listen to in the evening when going to bed. The house was well supplied for things that we needed for our stay. Ky was very responsive and helpful. The communication with Kai was exceptional, Ky even started our dinner once the crockpot was brought over, which meant our family was able to have a wonderful sit down meal after a busy day of preparing for our son’s wedding. The location on the peninsula makes it easy to head north, head west or head south into Traverse City, which was a very convenient for the plans that we had. The house is situated on a busy road, and there was quite a bit of road noise. However saying that, it’s something that you just ignore once you see the view and hear the lake waves. There was ample parking for our multiple vehicles, and the maintenance man was very helpful with respect to our cardboard boxes and tending to the lawn and letting us know that he was there. Which was very nice. We would definitely stay here again for our next trip to Traverse City.

    3 adult couples for a wine/brewery fall weekend. GREAT place to stay!!! Had everything we needed and was in the perfect location. Had the weather cooperated, would have definitely spent more time at the outdoor bar. Looking forward to coming back!
