Wedding Stay

We stayed at this beautiful home for a week in July to attend my sisters wedding. The accommodations were perfect for us. The little gardens were an added pleasure. We enjoyed a quiet evening out back with a fire one night and it was so pleasant. Very quiet neighborhood and clean, clean home. Thank you.

Lovely home in a quiet area

We enjoyed our stay at the Hilltop Retreat! The kitchen was well equipped. The neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful - no traffic noise whatsoever. Nice big lot in the countryside, but only 10 minutes to downtown TC. We spent a bit of time to the west (Sleeping Dunes, Leland, Frankfort, etc), so this location was nicely positioned for easy trips in that direction as well. Thanks again for a lovely stay!

Great Girls Weekend

This was a perfect house for three high school girlfriends. Each each had our own bedroom and there was plenty of space. The kitchen was huge and well stocked. The communication with Caroline was outstanding. Loved the house! The yard needs some attention such as weeding and trimming. Overall we had a great experience and highly recommend this rental.

Excellent Stay, but Exterior Needs a Refresh

We had a wonderful stay at the VRBO house in Traverse City. The home was clean, well-kept, and felt very welcoming. The owner’s communication was excellent, and their friendliness made our experience even better. The house perfectly suited the purpose of our visit, and we were overall very pleased. That said, we did notice that the landscaping around the property, both in the front and back, didn’t quite match the photos on the listing. The trees and plants appear to be overgrown, making the house difficult to see from the road, and a couple of trees are nearly blocking the driveway. While this didn’t impact our stay inside the home, it would be great to see the exterior tidied up to reflect the well-maintained appearance shown in the photos.

Great location for exploring Leelanau and Traverse City

This is one of the best properties we've stayed at on VRBO. The location is perfect. Minutes from TC and dozens of wineries, with Sleeping Bear just half an hour away. The property itself is incredibly clean and updated. The large living area was great for relaxing. The huge sofa was so comfortable, we were tempted to take it with us! The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for cooking meals for the whole group. The master with en suite is on the opposite side of the house from the other two bedrooms and bathroom so it's perfect for families with kids or couples. The setting is gorgeous with woods and a ravine behind the house and a big yard out front. The area was very quiet too with no noise from neighbors or the road. Our group has stayed at many properties in Northern Michigan and this is by far our favorite. We hope to return again!
