The home is in a perfect location and even nicer in person than the pictures can capture. The kids had a blast floating on the river from one side of the house to the other.

Our host John was very welcoming. The cabin was spotless. The location was amazing. Such a beautiful spot. Not far at all from grocery stores and restaurants in Chums Corners and Kingsley. We will definitely stay again.
Chilling with the ducks.
What a view to wake up to!

Unbelievable location! We selected the booking because of the convinent location for our traver city vacation. When we arrived we where blown away by the view. Whether you are relaxing in the hot tub or just watching the ducks while eating at the kitchen island. The painting like scenery was worth the trip alone. But when you throw in the ability to be transported into one of the best places to visit in Michigan with a ten minute drive it's like taking two vacations. The property manager and owner are extremely kind and wonderful. It is a beautiful place to share with loved ones. I don't think I will ever forget the time we shared there.

Our stay was absolutely perfect for our mini-honeymoon. It balanced seclusion with convenience - the closest stores being less than 10 minutes away. The view from every angle was completely stunning. The cable allowed us to watch Monday Night Football on the massive 75" TV. There was fresh wood by the fire pit, plenty of outdoor seating, and tons of river access for fishing. The kitchen was stocked with all the pots/pans/dishes necessary (but bring your own seasonings/condiments), there were sufficient towels, and soap & shampoo/conditioner provided. I loved having access to all brand-new, modern appliances - including the washer and dryer. We are already talking about returning!

The cabin was absolutely neat, clean, and had all the provisions you could need for your stay. Unfortunately, due to the weather, we didn't get to enjoy the grounds, river, hot tub or fire pit as we hoped. We did enjoy the symphony of frogs, toads and birds around the pond and my dog Tucker was fascinated in all things he could not see. I would definitely stay again (hopefully during better weather). Traverse City, Suttons Bay, and points in between were lovely. The cabin is in a great location!

Lovely cabin. Clean, comfortable, and in a quiet location. Enjoyed our stay immensely. One thing to note - kitchen supplies are very minimal. We stayed a week and ran into a few times that some storage containers, tin foil and/or sandwich bags would have been nice to have to store leftovers. Just a heads up to pack those things if you're staying long enough that you might need them.

This was a great location for our family. The cabin was a vacation in itself for those who just wanted to hang out. It was close enough to the beach, wineries and other places that the rest of us wanted to explore in Traverse City.
