Quiet and relaxing

Enjoyed a week MI - good location to see Sleeping near dunes, traverse city, various lakes and breweries. Place was comfortable, took the canoe out for a spin, enjoyed the hottub and had breakfast on the porch. It was in the low 80’s the week were at the property. Primary bedroom got a little warm even with the ceiling fan.

It was ok

The property was clean, but had a smell when we arrived. We opened windows and burned candles. The information presented on the online listing was not accurate. Presented as if we would be secluded but we shared the area with others. Also, the owner texted me afterward because dishes weren't done and there was not even a dish towel, dish rack, cleaning supplies for my use. In addition, there was a cleaning fee charged with booking so I would assume cleaning would be taken care of, similar to an extended stay hotel. Listing also stated we'd receive breakfast gift cards since bed and breakfast was not available but no cards were there. Overall stay was just ok.

Anniversary Get-Away

My husband and I wanted a quiet get-away for our 32nd wedding anniversary. This was the perfect place. It has a home theater so we could watch TV and movies together. We took a long walk on the trails near the lake. It was beautiful outside. The host was helpful in providing a map for us. There were restaurants nearby. I highly recommend this for a couple!

Perfect getaway!

Booked about a month out, owners proactively communicated very well. We received a text when the unit was ready on the day of arrival and were greeted by one of the owners upon arrival. The amenities were as advertised and the setting was very peaceful. The owner communicated to ensure we didn’t need anything through the week but was pretty much hands off otherwise. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway that is close to everything, Sleeping Bear, TC, wineries, etc.

Perfect weekend at a perfect place

We stayed with Melanie and Dave when in Interlochen for a concert recently; the Pines Nature Suite was perfect for the two of us. Kitchen is nicely appointed with everything you'll need; bed was comfortable; the theater room was fun for a movie after a day of exploring the area; the deck with its grill feels like you're in a tree house! It was nice to start the day with coffee outside, and end it with a cocktail enjoying the breeze and the sunset. Dave was kind enough to lend us his fishing poles, and we took the row boat out to explore the lake - and then sat on the dock and tossed in lines for small bluegills. This property is in a perfect location for easily accessing the beauty of Grand Traverse, and the hosts do an outstanding job. We'll be back!!

A Cozy Stay at Lake ‘N Pines Lodge

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our time staying in the Pines Nature Suite. The theater room in the back of the suite was a nice place to relax in after a day of adventuring in Traverse City. We stayed during the winter so a lot of the outdoor amenities were unavailable to us, but this did not detract from the pleasantness of our stay. The owner, Dave, was very attentive and quick to respond to any inquiries we had. Overall, it was a great experience and we hope to return sometime when we have our next adventure in Traverse City!

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Olsen

Our love has always been Northern Michigan and we have pursued the dream of living here with our purchase of the Lake ‘N Pines Lodge Bed & Breakfast in the heart of the state’s most beautiful area. This provides us the opportunity to merge two of our favorite things: enjoying the treasures of the great up north and our passion for sharing our home with others.

We are a very unique lodging facility offering 3 diverse accommodations including a 900 sq ft suite with private sauna and Jacuzzi, and a two bed room suite with a full kitchen.
As well guests enjoy use of the kayaks, canoes, rowboats and outdoor Jacuzzi, all complimentary as well. It is our goal to make our guest feel welcome and relaxed.

If you are looking for peace and relaxation then you have found the perfect spot. Watch the sunrise from our dock while enjoying the sights and sounds of beautiful Northern Michigan. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because we had been vacationing in the Traverse City area for years. The beauty of the area and the unique specialty shops downtown makes it truly a great place to visit. I have always loved to fish and hike/enjoy nature. So finding a property on a large lake with only a handful of homes located at one end surrounded by state forest was a dream come true.

What makes this property unique

When people ask why we love the property we simply highlight some of the great benefits of it, such as:
* It is located on 1000 acre Lake Dubonnet, that is a sanctioned wildlife habitat
*Only 8 houses on the lake - all located in one channel and then the rest is surrounded by 6000 acres of the Pere Marquette State Forest
*We are 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City, which sits on Lake Michigan and is full of unique shopping and dining along with amazing outdoor activities
*We are located only 35 minutes to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes National Lakeshore where we love to spend time exploring the dunes and the surrounding area
*We live in a community that takes great pride in its city and that supports its residents
*Its wonderful to live in one of the friendliest areas around! Strangers will bid you a hello or have a good day with a warm smile whenever you meet!
* The incredible outdoor adventures that are available in the area
