Beautiful Home in the Trees

Our family enjoyed spending a week in this gorgeous home. Perfectly located close to the beach and town. The house itself is spacious and sets up well for families or a group of friends. It’s extremely well furnished and comfortable and we had every single thing we needed. A definite 10/10.

Terrific location close to town but away from the hustle and bustle. Very well appointed home - comfortable common spaces and a complete kitchen lacking in nothing you might need to prepare your meals. Truly one of the finest VRBO experiences I've ever had.

Great Vacation Getawy

We had a wonderful stay! The location is great, in the middle of everything. We biked to wineries and the farmers market, had a campfire on the beach, and had dinner on the screened in porch every night. We were there with 3 adult children and their partners and were very comfortable. The host was very responsive and answered all our questions.

Beautiful Retreat any time of year

The location outside and inside is beautifully decorated. The kitchen is well stocked, and the owners went out of their way to make sure we felt welcomed. When issues developed with the house, the owners made sure to make things right and went above and beyond to save what would ultimately be my mother's last Thanksgiving dinner. I'm so thankful that we chose this house.

The house was very nice, and the location was excellent for venturing to the downtown area of Traverse City, to the wineries and breweries. The cute private beach is a 5-minute walk from the house.

Beautiful

This property has everything you need to enjoy Traverse City and it's beautiful surroundings. This hideaway in the trees gives you privacy while immersed in nature, but also within a 10 minute drive to downtown TC or the nearby wineries. The home itself is well supplied with everything you need for a comfortable stay and beautifully decorated. The check-in was super easy, and even though we didn't have a lot of communication with the host, they were quick to respond. Thanks for a great week in your home!

Pam’s Review

We had a lovely visit. The decor of the home is unique and right up our alley and a great location. There was plenty of room for all nine of us. All of the children loved the art room, and the four teenaged girls adored the hot tub.The only thing I would have liked is more and various sizes of cookware and bakeware.

Great summer getaway

We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! The location is perfect, you have privacy but also are so close to anywhere you want to go whether it’s the wineries and other peninsula spots or downtown. The house was great and nicely decorated and more than enough room for 3 couples and a 10 month old baby. Communication was great, they left numbers to contact if we needed anything and got back right away. Great hot tub and fire pit area. And the private beach and kayaks were awesome. Wish we could have stayed longer and will be the first property we look in to stay at next time we come up!

Family Graduation Celebration

My husband and I stayed at this property for 6 nights with our two adult daughters and their partners. From the moment we walked in the front door with the beautiful floor to ceiling windows looking out to the trees and the bay beyond, we were hooked. Immaculate, fully updated, well appointed. Plenty of options for alone time and group time. A short drive to stores and activities. S’mores on the beach at sunset was a highlight! Owners were very responsive to questions. It was perfect for us!

This is a lovely house in a great location for exploring the Traverse City area and is excellent for groups of friends or a traveling family. The wooded views, screened in porch, hot tub, and other amenities provide lots of spaces for relaxing between outings.We did feel that the price was a little high for what you got in a number of small ways that didn't collectively warrant taking an overall star away but could be improved considering the cost:- In the kitchen, the cookware is limited, mismatched, and not terribly high quality and the knives are largely dull and in some cases felt like they were threatening to break- In the bathrooms, one of the toilet seat lids was broken when we arrived and broke further during our stay. There's not really a good place to hang up swimsuits to dry and especially the lower level bathroom has inadequate ventilation that it stays very humid after using the shower. The whole house is stocked with cheap 1 ply toilet paper which seems kind of unacceptable considering the expense of renting it.- The trash bins are at the bottom of a .25 mile driveway so you have to either carry the garbage down while being attacked by deer flies or drive it in your car. There's also poison ivy growing in front of the bins.- The beach is not very accessible, especially for anyone with limited mobility. The stairs down are deteriorating and swallowed by brush where you enter and there are multiple patches of poison ivy growing right in the walkway.

Beautiful property close to the beach

Our young family stayed at this home for a week with grandparents. The home is absolutely beautiful and well appointed with the basics of what you would need for a week. There was a welcome package waiting for us upon arrival which was an extra special touch. The house is off the main track of TC but very easily accessible to downtown within 10-15 minutes. We found that to be a nice blend of seclusion/privacy with access to the city. Given the mix of young and older ages for our guests, the owner worked with us well ahead of time to review our individual needs and what would be available within the home. A few accessibility comments: -The home is a 5-minute walk away from the beach via a relatively steep mixed cement/gravel driveway. We made the trip many times with our crew but the kids would not have been able to make the walk on their own or without assistance from the wagon/stroller. -The owner let me know prior to booking that there the wrought iron stairway is very steep and is in the middle of the main floor. We worked around this by bringing a gate to help block off the stairs.

The house was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 3 children. It was clean and well furnished with easy access to and within a few minutes of downtown Traverse City. The open concept first floor plan with views into the woods, a large screened eat-in porch area able to accommodate all of us, along with the hot tub, and private beach area are a definite plus. The host was very responsive to our communications. All in all it was an excellent experience for our family gathering.
