The best part of us was the short walk to a private beach on the west arm of Grand Traverse Bay. We spent many hours on the sand and in the water which was warm and clear. The guesthouse was a short distance from many of our favorite wineries which we visited. Nancy and Norm were friendly hosts and made our stay memorable. ##### Vincent G.

The location was perfect. There is a beautiful beach and it feels like you are way out in a private spot but yet it is a close drive to all the fun and amazing things that the Traverse City area has to offer like light houses, wineries, shopping and other quaint towns to explore. And best of all they welcomed our dog too. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen V. 29 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful! The property is gorgeous! The hosts are incredible too - we accidentally locked ourselves out of the guesthouse when we walked to the beach and they were able to get us back in within minutes of texting them about our situation. During our stay, we enjoyed their clean beach and downtown Traverse City (\~15minute drive). Next time, we plan to stop at one of the vineyards that is conveniently between the guesthouse and downtown. We highly recommend staying here for a fun weekend trip! ##### Kristen V.

The Guest house was small but well appointed for all my adult daughter and I needed for our Up North getaway . There was a noticeable musty odor and many cobwebs but we were still happy with the setting . ##### Beth S.

A short path out the back leads to a beautiful private section of the beach on Lake Michigan. Beautiful vineyards and views everywhere, and a bonus woodland hike a few minutes walk away! Nancy and her husband were delightful and happily provided recommendations for dining and wines tastings! Highly recommend! ##### Gwen M.

The property had everything we needed, and lots of thoughtful little extras that we didn't even expect, like wood for the fire pit on the beach and all the stuff needed to make s'mores, beach umbrellas, and beach towels. The location and the beach was beautiful. One thing to be aware of - the bed is extra firm. That's not really even a negative, just something to be aware of based on personal preference. We still slept just fine though. ##### Mark J.

It was very quiet, which we enjoyed. We wish it was a little bit closer to the water, but it is not ideal for someone with agility/balance issues. We loved the bed and the couch. The toaster didn't work well. All in all, it was a lovely escape. ##### Kathleen I.

It was our first visit to the Traverse City area. The location was perfect and having the beach so accessible was truly perfect. Highly recommend. ##### Terry L.

The property was right on the water, had a cute charm, and all the amenities you would need. ##### Daniel R.
