    This home was very comfortable and clean. The owner has put a lot of thought into providing everything necessary to make the stay comfortable. The location is beautiful, private, and quiet, but close enough to all of the Traverse City activities. The view from the front deck and from the hot tub is so peaceful. It was very nice to have the fenced in backyard for pets. We would definitely come back.

    Great property. Lots of space to spread out. Dining room, deck, riverside campfire, ping pong room, hot tub. We could all be together or not.

    The area is beautiful and very peaceful for walks. The layout of the upstairs especially is very comfortable. The host communicated with me quickly in the booking process. My reservations include the following: 1) 2 text attempts over 2 day to contact the host over TV audio connection were not responded to so my 3rd attempt in a phone call received the assistance of Well wifi is unreliable out here. That may not have been the issue but that's the response given. 2) We wanted to keep the place cooler and after continuing to lower the temp through the thermostat with little luck, the solution shared by the host was to open the windows-which we did for 5 days. 3) The stove burners were frustratingly inconsistent in heating, the oven cooked a salmon 1 night but would not heat the roast through (after 45 mins. at 450 deg) the following night; the coffee pot also did not work consistently in heating water. The host did okay our bringing a well trained do and we definitely had a cleaning fee to cover that exception. Overall, a lovely location and a little disappointed in the end.

    It was our son & daughter-in-laws 10th anniversary & they wanted us to celebrate it with them & friends in Traverse City with a wine tour & some awesome restaurants. This house was the perfect spot for the 6 of us to stay. Not much more than hotel rooms would have cost but a much more comfortable experience! Hope to come again!
