Perfect Location for a Traverse City Vacation

The Evergreen Cottage is a beautiful home in a very private setting just minutes from downtown Traverse City. It is a great location to explore all of NW Michigan, and also a quiet, out-of-the-way place to enjoy with your group. The home itself is very clean, well maintained, and provides many of the basic household and kitchen necessities allowing you to prepare meals at home and spend time together. We are a family of five, but there was plenty of beds & space for 5-7 more people. We had stopped to get some basic essentials on the way from the airport to discover that they were already provided. Our kids loved the gameroom downstairs, and we apprecited all of the toys/sleds that were provided for all to use. We were visiting from Florida with the hope of a snow-filled vacation. Although the weather didn’t fully cooperate, the house got more snow than almost all of the places we visited, including Boyne Mountain. We weren't able to do many of the activities we had planned because there wasn't enough snow. However, the location of the house was perfect because we could drive 20-30 minutes in any direction and find plenty to keep us busy. Take note that many local attractions and businesses shut down from Christmas through early April, which did further limit some of our plans. We had a very minor issue arise during our stay, and Craig and Theresa graciously took care of it immediately. All in all, it's a beautiful home and area that we wouldn't hesitate to visit again!

Amazing property and house.

We stayed here the night before and after the sleeping bear dune marathon. It was an awesome space to have in between. It was very clean, check in/out was easy and we loved the privacy was great. Thank you!

Great place!

Our family was celebrating my husbands 75th Birthday. The house was great for our family, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Each family had a bathroom to use so know waiting to get your turn. We were gone most of the day, everything was round 20 minutes away. We came back made dinner and sat out around the fire. I would recommend this house to anyone.

August Getaway

We took our daughter and her two girls on a family vacation. Visited a number of areas and had a great time. House was perfect for the 5 of us and well done. Out in the country so quiet and nice surroundings. The trade off is that you have to be prepared to drive a bit to get anywhere. We would definitely stay again.

Relaxing Home Base to Explore

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of this home- truly spotless! Also appreciated the extra kitchen items to prepare food, and wash dishes and clothes as needed. It is a wonderfully private setting yet very easy to explore Sleeping Bear/Glen Arbor/Traverse City. The Lake Ann Grocery is very close by and has most anything you might need. Great Stay!

Fantastic Property

We have stayed at many VRBO homes over the years and this was by far the best home we have stayed in. The home was spotless and beautifully maintained and decorated. The lower level was perfect for our younger adult guests who stayed up late at night. The kitchen had every imaginable thing you may need to prepare a basic to fancy meal. The owners thought of everything travelers may need when preparing this home to make guests as comfortable as possible. The fire pit in the very private backyard was a big hit after long days of activities. We will be back!

Absolutely wonderful stay!

We were so lucky to find this property just a few weeks before the holidays. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. Our family of four traveled with our friends (family of 3.) The layout was perfect for us, with enough room for all of us to play games at the kitchen table and plenty of space for us to all spread out with the 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The home was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Thanks again for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful home, wonderful stay

This home is pretty, well-cared for, nicely furnished, very clean, comfortable and well-stocked with items, such as kitchen gadgets, linens and warm blankets, plenty of games for all ages, magazines and brochures of the surrounding area, croquet and yard games, and more. We appreciated the fire pit, patio set, fireplace and comfortable beds. It’s in a great spot, close to Traverse City, Frankfort, Suttons Bay, Glen Arbor and other small towns. The owner, Teresa, responds quickly to messages and was warm and friendly in her communications. We definitely will come back!

Highly recommend!

This is an excellent property and we plan to use it again in the future. The owners were very pleasant and quickly responsive to our communications. The house is wonderful, in a quiet and remote location with nearly everything that you could need to be comfortable and happy. It's not too far away from T.C., but pleasantly secluded. Be warned, however! Absolutely no reflection on the house or the owners, but the road on which it is located is awful! It is a dirt road (not a problem for us) but badly wash-boarded and extremely rough. It came as quite a jolting shock to us as we arrived in the dark after a long day of traveling. Hopefully this condition will become better in the future. Regardless, we highly recommend! Thank you!

A Quiet Secluded Spot that is close to everything

This property is everything that is in the listing and more! It is fresh and new and a very well kept property with all the supplies you could ever need. It is out in the country and therefore, quiet and secluded but only 10-20 minutes from just about everything. It is a great base to work from for Sleeping Bear Dunes, from either wine trail or downtown Traverse City. If you just want to hang at the house, there are plenty of games and foosball too!

Michigan visit

Overall this property was a good fit for my family.. location to traverse was 15 minutes.. we traveled a lot of places general drive time to pennisulas, sleeping bear , Leland, Frankfort was 30 minutes.. If busy city life is what you want this is a quiet/remote place around lake Ann.. The house had all the items needed.. family like the fooseball table.. sleeps 10 - 12 size age dependent. WiFi and cable was good no issues. As I shared already the back patio could use a bit of TLC .. grill worked no issues. Overall the stay was good for our family and visiting Michigan first time .
