**** Winter in Northern MI is beautiful and delightful to enjoy. We do recommend 4 wheel drive as weather can be unpredictable. In the winter time, the fire pit may be difficult to access due to the amount of snow.
We rented this house for my mother’s 60th birthday and were not disappointed one bit. The house was very beautiful and clean! The hosts were very helpful and made sure that we enjoyed our stay! Would definitely recommend for any getaway.
We very much enjoyed our stay! Timothy and Samantha’s home was even better than described. They were also very quick to respond to any inquiries we had while on the property.
Loved the garden. Plenty of room for everybody.
host was awesome at communicating-- house was BIG and beautiful. very secluded!! very close to all our favorite places-- Traverse City-- North Bar Beach-- Sleeping bear Dunes! I highly recommend!
Excellent location just outside of Traverse City. Perfect area to relax and enjoy the outdoors, while still close enough to all of the activities. In all honesty, I don’t believe the pictures do it justice in regards to all of the amenities provided for larger groups. Kids enjoyed the basement with games, while the adults could relax by the fire pit. Only real issue was shower coordination for 11 people with only two full bathrooms. Thankfully there is a 1/2 bath in the corner of the laundry room. The communication with the hosts was easy, as any issues or questions were resolved/answered promptly. Highly recommend!
Perfect place for a wine tasting weekend! Comfortably slept 11 adults, we did a wine tasting bus trip where they were able to pick us up from the house.
We had such a great time at this property! There was plenty of space for our group of ten. The house is very open and spacious. The kitchen had a lovely open concept kitchen with tons of seating, with a peninsula and a giant table. We enjoyed the large sectional couch in the living room as well. The bedrooms were huge, with comfortable beds. We were able to arrange a wine tour company to pick us up right from the property. Tim was amazing and very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful weekend at this property! Everything was just as expected. We enjoyed the fire pit a lot and had plenty of seating inside the house and out for our party of 8. The only suggestions I would have is there was only one roll of toilet paper(not full rolls) per bathroom so we ended up having to run out and get more and there were also not enough towels for every person. Not a big deal at all, but just wanted to make a suggestion. Thanks for the great stay!
We booked the house for 12 adults to have a surprise birthday celebration for my sister.. The house was amazing, big and beautiful. We loved walking out in the garden and picking what was ripe. The fire pit was great to enjoy the brisk cool nights. The location was perfect as it was enough out of town for privacy but close enough to to town for pickup for a local wine touring company. If we are ever in the area again we will for sure boom this house!
Beautiful home, incredibly close to Long Lake, Lake Michigan, wineries, minutes away from Traverse City downtown area, sitting on 9 acres, providing you with plenty to explore around it! My wife and I had a blast, and definitely will be coming back. Also, Tim has been a great host, extremely helpful and prompt to respond and address any of our questions. Thank you again!
I came up for a girl’s trip to do wine tasting, this place has an ideal location to many wineries, Tim helped us arrange a private driver for the day! Home was perfect with plenty of space for the 8 of us to not feel crowded, and the well stocked kitchen was a huge plus! We will be staying again!
