Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Summer Adventures

My wife and I used this property to explore the many different ways to experience Sleeping Bear Dunes (it’s just a few minutes away!). The property had everything you needed and was very cozy. Quiet and relaxing after a day of hiking or biking.

A real gem

The pictures don't do this place justice. Alyssa is such a thoughtful and creative host. If you need it, she has it for you whether it be toiletries, a kitchen gadget, or the right chair to relax in. The nighttime views by the fire pit are mesmerizing and gorgeous. It's literally 20 minutes from everywhere; Traverse City, wineries, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear. Communication was quick and easy. The only downside to leaving this review is other people will quickly find out what a lovely place this is and it might not be available when I come back up next year. If this is available, I will no doubt be back. Thanks Alyssa and team for a wonderful week
