Great for small family or 2 couples, or just one couple wanting room to roam. 4 adults max although we could make room for an extra small child.

Major remodel completed 2018. High end features, not your usual vacation rental in this area. 1200 sq ft semi open floor plan with 2 car attached garage. Everything brand new including all appliances, fixtures, furniture, beds, bedding etc. 2BR, 1 & 1/2 bath. Some vintage pieces to add character.

Close enough to downtown TC (approx 4 miles north) and very convenient to explore all the great things Leelanau County has to offer.

Central air. New electrical, plumbing and mechanicals for your safety and comfort.

Spectrum cable internet (100 Mbps free wifi). Hulu Live, Disney +, Max, Netflix, and Prime as wells as Amazon Music included. 49 inch Samsung Series 8 smart TV.

2 similar sized bedrooms (approx 12 x 14 and 10 x 15 ). Front bedroom has nice view of bay, back bedroom partial view.

1 decent sized spa-like bath (6 x 10) with oversized tub/shower combo. 2 vessel sinks on 6 ft mid-century cabinet with quartz top. Small but really cool half bath added as well carved out of preexisting closet space.

Stunning unobstructed view of West Bay across the street, but without any real access to the water. No significant beach.

Large mostly private back yard with new large concrete patio, grill and fire pit. Teak table and chairs with umbrella. Sunny in the afternoon but shaded after 5 or 6 by large mature trees on hillside in back.

More serene hammock spot in at the back of the property in a nice myrtle patch amongst the trees with a little view of the bay.

Full size washer and dryer were left in the basement to preserve living space upstairs. Basement drywalled, partially finished but still needs work. Basement is oddly accessed from inside garage. Ping pong table in basement.

Please note that we are now being regulated by local government and we must comply to maintain our license to operate .... so you must also. It's easy. Basically, don't disturb the neighbors. No events or parties. No RVs, tents, campers. If you invite guests they must leave during quiet hours. 10 pm - 8 am weekdays, 11 pm weekends.

    The host was very welcoming. The house is beautiful. My husband and I stayed here for our babymoon and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect house. It's close enough to Traverse City downtown, but far enough that you don't feel like you're bombarded with people and traffic. The view of the bay was gorgeous. Tammy was very nice and provided lots of information about things to do in the area and the best places to find food. We'd definitely visit this wonderful house and area again!

    This was an extremely pleasant stay. Tammy has thought of everything that a family with kids would need and we were impressed with the amenities accordingly. The place was also spotless. Best of all, the bay view from the living room window was really enjoyable.

    We enjoyed the property very much. It was apparent the host focused on guest comfort and fun (clean, ping pong in the basement, lovely festive backyard). The home is on a highway but positives override this as a concern. The lake is across the road, one and a half baths work very well, and the large garage keeps bikes and cars safe and dry, as well as making loading and unloading easier. I am a big fan of the glass touches throughout the home, especially the glass doorknobs. The host seemed very accessible. Good central location between Traverse City, bike trails, and further north.

    The house and property were beautiful. Tammy was an excellent host. Our only issue was the pillows provided. They were all very thin and not the most comfortable so we did not sleep our best there.

    We enjoyed staying at Tammy’s place and the views of Grand Traverse Bay. Despite the winter weather, her home was very cozy and we enjoyed sitting in front of the warm fireplace. We appreciate how clean and organized her home was, and the thoughtful touches in her home. Our children enjoyed the games and books as well. We hope to be back again soon!

    Beautiful view especially at sunrise! SO much to do--quick 5 minute drive into downtown Traverse. I loved the binder in the house that had anything you could want to know! Nicely decorated and clean. Only thing I was a little surprised by was the road noise--but I shouldn't have been-it is right on M-22 just north of Traverse. Beds were super comfy but if you aren't used to traffic some white noise would be helpful! Wish we could have used the back yard it was super cute. We were too busy eating at great restaurants, visiting wineries, shopping and trails all close by! Tammy was a great host--it was easy top operate everything in the house with her written directions.

    The house was cute and super clean. My two favorite things were that it was meticulously maintained abd there were two equivalent size bedrooms. Since I was travelling with a friend it's always nice when both bedrooms are nice. Host was super communicative and have a little welcome note that was so sweet. Only complaint is that house is on a pretty busy street and it was hard to identify house especially in the dark would love to see light up numbers or like a wooden spinner in yard or something so keep your eyes glued to the gps and be ready to turn in at a seconds notice!

    This is the third year in a row that we have stayed at one of Tammy's houses during our annual trip to Traverse City, and it was a great experience again. The house is nicely appointed with mid-century modern decor, and has everything you need for a great stay. We enjoyed the fire pit, and hanging out on the adirondack chairs in the front yard looking out at the bay. Tammy is very helpful when needed, and I highly recommend her properties as a home base for your trip to the Traverse City area.

    We could not have found a better place! Though it's true you cannot easily access the beach that is just right across the street, this house is so conveniently located with plenty of access points within a couple minutes drive. Perfectly central location for visiting traverse city, northport, and sleeping bear dunes. The house itself is so cute and clean! The basement is not pictured, but it's mostly finished with a ping pong table and other fun games. Tammy, the host, is so thoughtful and is easy to reach should you need anything (though odds are you won't because she's thought of every detail already)! This was our first little family vaca with our 18month old and every thoughtful touch, making it as smooth as possible, did not go unnoticed! We will definitely be staying here each trip to come. Thanks so much for sharing your home!
