The owners were very responsive regarding any questions we had prior to our stay, made sure we made it safely, and thanked us for staying at their property on the day of our departure. We would stay here again, and honestly can’t wait to come back. It was cozy, the hot tub was perfect during the morning snowfall, and the fireplace was the perfect addition to our winter getaway.

Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen G. 23 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Description misleading The cottage itself was very nice, however the owners gave no indication the place was 200 feet away from one of the busiest 4 lane roads in Traverse City. The traffic noise was loud and constant. We had plans for a peaceful, quiet week, but that’s not what we got. We stayed inside a lot instead of enjoying the creek and the property because of the noise. I felt like we were tricked. They should have mentioned how close to the road and how loud it was. Paid a lot of money for a quiet vacation we did not get. ##### Karen G.

The hot tub, the fireplace, all the amenities were great. My only complaint is that the pictures don't show how close this house is to the road. Instead of enjoying the sounds of the stream, we edured the sounds of cars. ##### Nate B. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie K., Fredericksburg, USA 9 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming cottage in great location My husband and I loved our weekend stay at this charming revitalized 1940s cottage in Traverse City! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals for the weekend, the beds were comfy and the living spaces were tastefully adorned. The gas-fired stone fireplace was super easy to use and made the living area very cozy for catching up on our reading. The location was perfect for accessing the VASA Pathway xc ski trails which were about an 8 minutes drive away. After a great time on the trails, the hot tub was the perfect way to relax, and with the falling snow it was magical. Our dog Abby loved going for walks in the woods (state property) directly behind the cabin. In Summer, the cottage would be a great spot from which to access the beach, the TART trails and all that Traverse City has to offer. There is a bit of road noise from 3 Mile Rd, but it wasn't a problem for us. Check-in was a breeze and Lauren was readily available by phone if we needed anything. I highly recommend staying here. ##### Laurie K.

I'm a 50yr old auto worker who needed fresh air and a hot tub. I decided to take my wife and mother since mom loves slot machines and my wife likes to sleep. The best experience was soaking in the hot tub in the beginning of December watching the moon and stars. The icing on the cake is hearing the creek after hours. ##### Chive C.

Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Felicianna W. 10 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Relaxing time Wonderful house to enjoy TC. Convenient location to downtown, downside is the property is on a busy road and we had a hard time getting out at peak times. ##### Felicianna W.
