Spectacular West Bay views on 58 wooded acres! 10 mins to downtown TC

We had a fabulous time ! Perfect get away for a girls weekend !

We are a group of 4 couples, ages 50-60 that normally travel together. We found the home to be perfect for our needs. The kitchen was well stocked and clean. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. The location was beautiful and we were able to see the eagles in the nest beside the house each morning. The view of the lake and sunrise is excellent. No visible neighbors. Note, the house does overlook the lake but it actually a good bit above the lake in the woods. It is not really walking distance as the driveway winds up the hill a good ways. There is some traffic noise from the road below but not audible from inside house. Owner was very accomodating and responsive. House is a good central location to Sutton's Bay, Empire and Traverse City activities. Be sure and check out Roman Wheel Pizza in Sutton's Bay and the Sunday brunch at Bistro Polaris. It was our favorite meal in Michigan.

The house was great! It was very clean, very accomodating with supplies needed during our stay and the setting in the woods was amazing. We really enjoyed watching the eagles every day. Dana was extremely helpful and attentive. She went out and purchased a corn hole set, big Jenga and several other games right before we came which was very thoughtful. The only thing I would mention is the house is located off the M22, which you have to cross to get to the lake. Also, the basement is very much a basement feel but clean and our teenagers had no problem with it. Overall, great experience and would love to stay again.

We arrived with high expectations given all of the positive reviews, and our experience still far exceeded our expectations. Starting with the rental itself, the home was very clean and comfortable with a homey and cozy feeling. The home was nicely decorated with a mid century type of decor, and every amenity we could have needed and more was included. The kitchen had top end commercial grade appliances, the bed was very comfortable, and the views were stunning. The location was perfect for a quick drive into Traverse City or to explore the Leelanau peninsula.And of course I have to mention the eagles! It was such a unique experience to be able to watch an active eagles’ nest right from the dining room window. The eaglets turned 2 weeks old during our stay. It was so relaxing to sit down with a cup of coffee in the morning and watch Harry and Harriet delivering food, feeding the babies, perching on nearby trees, and soaring over the bay.

We had an incredible stay at Dana’s house near Traverse City! The property is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of Traverse City Bay and a peaceful, secluded location with no neighbors in sight. The huge property is perfect for nature lovers, with trails to hike right on-site. The house itself is beautifully maintained and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The indoor fireplace was so relaxing, especially after a day of exploring. The kitchen was a standout—spacious, well-equipped, and practical, even with three of us cooking at the same time. The location couldn’t be better for sightseeing. All the must-visit spots—Grand Traverse Lighthouse, Historic Fishtown, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and more—are within a 30-minute drive. Dana has truly thought of everything to make her home a perfect getaway. We would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with easy access to Northern Michigan’s best attractions. We can’t wait to come back!

The house and property were just great! It was all just as described! We loved the location and the beautiful views. We definitely hit the area at the perfect time to see all the fall foliage in full. The view of the landscape was perfect. Great host and very accommodating!

Gathering of 5 of us for a girls weekend…house was so fun, mid century modern but with all the modern amenities. Everyone had their own bed, 2 of us slept in the lower level (walk out basement) and even that was nice and clean and dry, no mustiness anywhere. The host was excellent, easy to communicate with and very accommodating! We plan to book this one again!

The home is lovely and secluded, but still convenient to everything. We had everything we needed, and we especially enjoyed the firepit.

This property is exactly as advertised- a very private house with incredible views, and an extremely responsive property manager. We would not hesitate to book it again!

Stunning….We enjoyed northern lights and meteors shower…magical
