The king bed in the primary bedroom was very comfortable and the sheets were very soft and my 8 yo loved the futon on the main floor. There is lots to do in the area or you could easily chill there. I’m looking forward to a longer stay next time. ##### Renee P. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Karen M. 29 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Vacation Ruined We rented this stay based on its past ratings, location near Traverse City and the fact our family loves to play on the water. We regularly gather for long weekends up North traveling from different parts of the country to attend. We also planned to attend the Cherry Festival in Traverse City. On our arrival we were very disappointed with this property. It is basically a garage with an upstairs. It was filthy both inside and out, and smelled of gas. The owner stored the blankets and pillows for the home on the STAIRS! We stayed long enough to take pictures of the broken furniture we found inside, as well as the rest of the garage and left. We then contacted the host and VRBO to try to get a refund.If that part was not bad enough we had to rent last minute accommodations in Traverse City costing more money. Which ultimately resulted in us cutting our trip short. ##### Karen M.

Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Melinda M. 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful with a few caveats Every house has pluses and minuses. The pluses are the location, the kayaks, the easy check in, and you can tell that when he built the cabin a lot of thought and care went into it. We were surprised how much we loved a local diner called Yankee Boy, highly recommend. The guest book is thoughtful and professional. The lake is beautiful with clear water and the location is green and close to Traverse City. The minuses are that the shower needs repairs. The caulk is in rough shape and there are large stains and it doesn't work well. Another area of improvement is more information about the water. As I noticed in previous reviews, the water has a bad smell. I assumed it was well water when I read the reviews, which I grew up with and am comfortable with, but when we got there is was not a well water smell. Honestly it smells like dirty diapers. It does appear to be well water but I don't think that's the cause. Perhaps it is a regional smell? I think a page in the guest book explaining the smell would help. We didn't dare drink it and I'll pretty much drink any water. Also, this comfortably fits four people. The futon was covered in food crumbs and very uncomfortable. The air mattress deflates. The whole house could use a deep clean...lots of dust and cobwebs. That sounds bad, but again, it is a lovely area and a lovely cabin. I wouldn't skip it because a few small things would make it great. ##### Melinda M.

It was very relaxing and right on the water. My father had a grin from ear to ear as he went fishing almost every day and was very happy with the quality of fish he caught. We had everything we needed at the house including plenty of bath towels and toiletries. The kitchen had all the place settings, pots and pans as well. Complete with two tv's and wifi. The only bathroom was upstairs which was somewhat of a challenge for my elderly parents but they managed just fine. ##### Laura M.

We had to call the owner to figure it out. The owners are very responsive and nice. The house could use a new set of cookware and a cutting board. Overall, a nice place to stay.
