We stayed here for our annual friends weekend and really enjoyed the house and location. We were able to enjoy the hustle of downtown Traverse City during the day and then chill in a peaceful setting at night.
Loved everything about house, plenty of room for our family, location was great. Having the kayaks and paddle boat to use was very nice. A couple of our family members arrived early and I messaged to see if they could get in the house and they responded quickly and said it would not be a problem. Would definitely stay again.
We enjoyed a relaxing, quiet retreat on the lake. The owners were very responsive with any needs we had. The place was clean and a great vacation spot for our family. Thank you for sharing your home!
Our family had a wonderful summer vacation at Brody's Camp. The house was very clean and the surrounding area was so quiet and peaceful We loved sitting by the water and listening to wildlife.
Hosts were extremely communicative and very gracious. House was well stocked with supplies and that was greatly appreciated. We loved the kayaks and toys for the water. Great location for day trips to mission point, sleeping bear dunes and traverse city. There were 8 of us, and it was plenty of space. We thoroughly enjoyed our whole trip!
From the check in to the check out - this place was amazing and met all of our girls trip needs. We were so happy with this location that we are hoping to make it an annual trip!
Very nice spacious home. Quiet area on the lake and just the right distance from Traverse City. The only issues we had was the air conditioning not working properly. Maintenance came to fix but it did not help.
Great location, and property. Communication with property owner was quick and rectified any needs that arose. Would recommend to anyone wanting a lake house vacation.
We stayed for a long weekend and will come again! The house was a effect location for everything we wanted to do, Traverse, Interlochen, and Glen Arbor, and met all our needs.
Our family was hoping for a long relaxing weekend in a unique area, where we could enjoy family time, fun shops, and beautiful scenery. We found it at this home--perfect!
We celebrated our family's Christmas holiday this weekend and had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful and in a beautiful setting. It had everything we needed and not too far from everything. The host was very responsive and very friendly. We would definitely rent the house again.
We were looking for the perfect place to spend the X-mas holiday with the hope for a white Christmas ... and we got what we were hoping for. Lovely location, nice home and lots of snow! We really enjoyed our stay.
Perfect property for our 8 member, 4 couple family and 2 small dogs
Brody's Camp is well represented in the Vrbo photos. The home was clean and well appointed. In our 10 day stay, our 8 member family (+2 small dogs) enjoyed daily "flotilla" time on the quiet lake. We ran and biked on trails just outside our door in addition to enjoying many of the abundant trails around Traverse Bay. Trips to Sleeping Bear, Glen Arbor and Suttons Bay provided site seeing and shopping. Don't miss Farm Club for a fantastic lunch. A Traverse City Pit Spitters baseball game capped off the fun. We highly recommend Brody's Camp! Our hosts were awesome!
The house was fantastic it had everything we needed. We went in the fall and the scenery from the dining area and the master bedroom was breathtaking. So beautiful. The area is very quiet and nestled in the woods right by a lake.
Cute home with lots of amenities. Great location within proximity to Traverse City. Plenary of room for the 10 of use. Wish the lake was a little sandier.

Why they chose this property
This property is not just a rental for our family, but rather our monthly get-away to rest and recharge. We hope that you enjoy the tranquil surroundings as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
This property is unique in that it is surrounded by state owned land containing an entire trail system that anyone can enjoy hiking, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, and 4x4 exploring. Rennie lake is an all sports lake for your enjoyment. Additionally, Bass Lake and Spider Lake are just down the road to access for additional fishing a/o lake activities. Brody's Camp is conveniently located just outside Traverse City where you can enjoy shopping, restaurants, festivals, bike trails, breweries, and the "Napa Valley" of the midwest! Although Summer is our most popular season, don't forget to visit in the fall for the beautiful color explosion and the winter for activities such as snowmobiling on the trail system, 2 ski resorts in T.C, and less than an hour to Boyne/Cadillac ski areas.
