Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andy K. 21 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a wonderful stay! The kitchen was well stocked. In the morning, I would watch the sunrise through the trees, over the lake, get the coffee brewed, and have a nice breakfast before heading out for the day. In the evenings, we watched some football, played pool and enjoyed a campfire. The beds were comfortable. Since there were only 3 of us, we utilized the main bedroom and the loft bedroom. The location was quiet, secluded, but also close to many activities and sights in the area. Anything we wanted to see or do was a 10 to 30 minute drive. I wish we had a few more days just to stay and enjoy the property. ##### Andy K.

This property had everything needed for a perfect family summer vacation and we will definitely be booking this house again. ##### Mark L.

Our stay was great! Cozy cabin, clear lake for swimming, loved kayaking and swimming off the pontoon. The home is situated between Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. We loved our outdoor adventures and the cabin was great for our indoor rainy days too! ##### Kyra M.

The woods are peaceful and kayaking on the lake was fun. When I first saw the list of extra things to bring like soap and TP I was disappointed that we had to pack extra, but we ended up finding a lot of what we needed left at the house by previous guests. There is a dollar general five minutes away so I would recommend seeing what you need first and grabbing it there. Overall we would be happy to stay again! ##### Justin C.

Came up to celebrate my birthday in TC and really enjoyed myself! Super quiet, less than 20 minutes from downtown, beautiful house, scenic property. Adding this to our vacation rotation as we’ll for sure be back!! Thanks so much, Lizzie!!! ##### Ben B.

It was missing some of the personal touches. The linens are getting a bit worn. It may have said it in the listing but we were surprised it was on a dirt road. Overall it was ok. ##### Daryl V.

(exactly as described) We really enjoyed ourselves in this charming home. The owner’s instructions/descriptions were spot on so please pay attention to them. We really hope to come back when the weather is nicer so we can take advantage of the lake, boat, etc…. The driveway could be easily missed at night so it’s best to arrive durning the day for checkin. ##### Travis K.

We had SUCH a good time this weekend at your cabin! The view was our favorite! & the kids loved the game room down stairs. We are already looking to come back this summer and make this a yearly tradition. We had so much fun. This was our first time in Traverse City and we all loved our time. You have made our first time here so enjoyable and great. Thanks so much! ##### Esmina H.

Weather was cool but the light snowflakes falling on the lake was a beautiful view from the balcony. Our pup fell in love with running back and forth down the path to the lake. And the home was incredibly cute (quote from my wife) inside and out. Finally, thank you Lizzie for the excellent communication. We can't wait to come back when the weather is warmer ##### Todd H.

Our family of 5, plus our close friends, stayed here for a fun winter getaway. It was such a cozy little retreat for us! The gas fireplace warmed us up after ice fishing on the lake, snowy walks, and the kids running around enjoying the snow covered woods outside. Our dogs loved just sprawling out in front of the fireplace, which kicks off a very good amount of heat. The cabin was very well stocked, warm, and has very cool floor to ceiling windows facing the lake. It was also easy to find and well marked. We will definitely come stay again! Thanks for renting out such a cool place. ##### Nicole L.

Sometimes I worry lakehouses will be gross and not taken care of, but everything here was in perfect shape and made us feel right at home. There was plenty of space for our group of 7 adults and 1 baby. We loved that they had everything we need, from life jackets, to a girdle. There was a pack-and-play already there but I didn't realize it and we brought our own. If I was to improve one thing it would be to have lawn chairs that we could bring to the beach. The hosts were very nice and had lots of instructions as well as recommendations for things to do. We can't wait to come back. ##### Kolby M.

Our family group of 7 adults decided to risk it and arrive just before the start of a 2 day blizzard which was predicted to leave up to 26" of snow. (Be sure to listen to the advice to have an AWD vehicle for the snow covered roads!)The cabin was warm and perfect for our group. We cooked and played pool, watched a dvd from their selection. We went out on one of the blizzard nights to the local bar and got pizza. The other patrons were all friendly and it was a fun night with everyone braving the storm and enjoying the night. We did bring extra blankets which the instructions suggested and we were glad we did. All of the house suggestions are important to heed. We did need them all. We slept in comfortable beds and there was a nice amount of space for us all. The massive window in the main room was beautiful for watching the dramatic weather unfolding outside! ##### Janet T.
