Guesthouse on Lake Michigan

Beautiful location. Wineries close by. Near Traverse City for restaurants and shopping. Hosts were next door and friendly. Just wish we had come earlier in the year because the water was too cold for swimming. Otherwise it was a fantastic visit.

Could not have been better!

We enjoyed our stay so much that we are hoping to book again next year. The hosts were friendly and the cottage was absolutely spotless. There are plenty of nice restaurants nearby, but it was hard to leave the lovely beach just steps away from the cottage. We have rented Up North for years and this was our favorite place. Can't wait to go again.

Guest house with private beach on beautiful Traverse Bay

The guesthouse on Old Mission Peninsula was clean and comfortable. 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.

Ideal location on the beach

Great Location in TC Wine Country

Great location for exploring the Old Mission Peninsula. 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 .

Lovely get away. We like the quite, off the beaten path location. Close enough for activity but feeling like a remote getaway if you’re looking for that. This is our second time at this property. We love it!

Amazing, peaceful spot!

This was the perfect getaway. It was peaceful and secluded but near Old Mission restaurants and close enough to downtown to make it convenient for when you wanted to do other things, too. It was the first time staying on Old Mission and it was a great experience.

Perfect Spot!

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.

Lovely little place with a private beach

We loved our stay here. 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.

Great Property and Amazing Beach!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The guest house is spacious and beach is beautiful! The hosts were always available if needed and we will definitely be back in the future. The Boat House restaurant is also so close that we were able to walk there one evening and enjoy the great food. Thanks, Nancy!

Perfect beach getaway

The property is gorgeous with incredible beach access and view. We were looking to relax and enjoy hanging out on the water away from the crowds, so this was perfect! It is located in a convenient spot for everything. The house was updated and had everything we neesws for our stay. The owners were eager to make sure we had everything and that our stay was great. We would definitely come back again and recommend to others.

You could hear yourself think!

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.

Traverse City

Beautiful spot, clean dwelling. Problems with Rental: Fruit flies, Terrible TV situation, no washing machine or dryer, no garbage disposal. Owner wouldn’t allow any visitors including our disabled upper 70’s in-laws to visit for the afternoon. Had to get dog sitter to go out to eat since owner wouldn’t allow leaving pet there. Traverse City very congested. Not a good experience.
