The view from the house is lovely. For me, the only drawback was getting to the water required crossing a busy road. Driving around the area, I realized that most of the houses are not lakeside though. The owner is very easy to work with and quickly answered any of my questions. ##### Virginia M.

The location was practically perfect because you could see the beauty of Grand Traverse Bay. The location also was so close to all the things we love about Traverse City. The construction didn't bother us one bit because the distance let us navigate around the affected areas.. The host was extremely helpful and navigated flawlessly through any problems that we had. Although the house is across from the water access, it was extremely easy to get across with plenty of time for all ages to do it as well. ##### Tanya J.

The well-appointed home was clean and all of the appliances and electronics were modern and functional. The living/family room was spacious and the furniture was comfortable - the bedrooms were as well. Loved the picture window overlooking west bay. We spent hours playing board games at the dining room table. The location of the home is great - with quick access to TC and/or north to the rest of the Peninsula. Our host, Gary, was wonderful from the get go - from the booking process to our departure. We'll be back! ##### Vaughn F.

After a long day of driving we found home again. Gary's place was easy to access and has everything you will need to make your first night as well as the rest of your visit comfortable and enjoyable. The view of the bay from the front porch alone is worth the visit and to have swans come visit was a major score. We don't have wild swans in our area any longer. The first morning the bay was completely hidden by a thick layer of fog. The second morning was crystal clear and one of the most spectacular sunrises I have seen in some time. The evenings on the porch are nice also. At times the traffic noise is a bit loud but some music can help with that problem. The house is great through and through and well appointed. Nice furnishings, the kitchen is well stocked and the beds are great. The home being convenient to town is a plus too. Contact Gary if you need lodging in the Traverse City, Michigan area. You will be thankful that you did. Hershel C. Pack Athens, Alabama Not so far from home after all! ##### Hershel P. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Doug & Lori B. 10 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Girls' Getaway We were four high school friends traveling to celebrate our 65th birthdays. First of all, the location was perfect for branching out to explore the beautiful sites around Traverse City. Nature, wineries, restaurants & shopping are all close. It is located off a very busy highway and you do need to cross that highway if you want to access the dock and sit out by the water. I want to address the issue of cleanliness. At first glance the home seems neat and tidy, but we soon realized that there were cleanliness issues and that the home needed a good cleaning. There was bird doo doo on the front porch chairs, so we never sat there to look out over the bay. The cushions were scrunched and worn down. The porch needed cleaned and we walked through spider webs to enter the house. Ok, so that kind of stuff happens and would be understandable, but the inside, the house needed the same kind of attention. The throw rugs were dirty, baseboards and windowsills were dusty and dirty, inside of the dishwasher was dirty, the sofa smelled like pets, there was spilled food on the bar stools that were covered in a long furry covering. The Keurig coffee maker was broken and the other coffee maker dripped so slowly that it was not useable. There was an inadequate amount of bath linens. The back porch/yard displayed the same lack of cleanliness & attention, so we never sat out there. All issues could be easily fixed by owner, but for these and other cleanliness issues, we would not recommend. ##### Doug & Lori B.

Great wow factor, so fresh and clean and modern interior decoration. Beautifully done but still has comfort of home and that lake life feel. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pans for cooking at home, burgers on the grill. We also liked the location for exploring to the north or heading into Traverse City. Beach is rocky as described so grab some swim shoes. Still a great area for swimming and the dock was also spotless and easy for sitting out watching sunset or swimming. Road is a bit busy but we got use to the pace and had no problem. A/C cooled the house nicely. Owner sent me a text after we checked in and answered any questions immediately. We would definitely stay again. ##### Julie S.

I rented this property for my sister’s bachelorette weekend, and it was perfect! Prior to our arrival, I was nervous it would be crammed considering we had the max amount of 8 girls; but it was so spacious- the many mirrors around the place, the 2 bathrooms, and large bedrooms made it very easy for all of us to get ready at once! The place was very clean and beautifully renovated. We laid out on the dock one afternoon and were able to dip in the water right there! We also had a great time hanging out at the fire table on the dock porch until late at night. It was along the main route right between TC and all the wineries on the Leelanau peninsula which made it a convenient location for our plans to both areas. M22 is a busy route, but is also the only road directly on the water so it can be expected for any place with such a great view and access to the lake. Overall, a great time and great communication with the owner. Would recommend! ##### Meghan L. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary Lou M. 22 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location and Great Communication My family and I (6 adults and 1 dog) had a great time here this July. Gary was a dream to work with; he responded to questions and concerns immediately. The home is lovely with many amenities; it has a nice open arrangement linking the front room, dining room, and kitchen easily, and the appliances are great. The view out the front window is spectacular no matter the time of day. The location is wonderful as well. You are just minutes from Sutton’s Bay and many other great little towns. My family likes to visit Sutton’s Bay, Glen Arbor, Leland, and Empire; none of the towns is even an hour’s drive away. The drive into Traverse City is smooth and relatively quick depending on traffic, but we had no delays. I did have two concerns though: First, although the house is air conditioned, there are only two wall air conditioners. One is between the front room and dining room, and the other is in the main bedroom at the end of the hall. The two bedrooms on the sides of the hall get no cool air and are quite warm. The second concern is my own fault. I was hoping for a sandy beach and failed to confirm that. If you look at the pictures closely, you will see boulders along the beach, and once one is down the ladder to the water, there are many rocks, but then there is a nice sandy bottom. All in all, we had a wonderful time. ##### Mary Lou M. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeffrey L. 30 Jun 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Cute House with Noise Great house great owners noisy traffic on main road. ##### Jeffrey L. ---
