Comfortable winter getaway

This was a perfect place to land for the night after a day of winter adventures! Communication from the host was prompt and helpful. We found the home to be exactly as we expected based on the listing and hope to be back.

Convenient location, fine stay

The house is in a good location for adventures in Glen Arbor and Traverse City. It was great to have so many towels and everything was clean (agree with other reviewer that more hooks would be helpful in the bathroom). Communication was excellent; very responsive.

Family getaway

Stay was comfortable and in a nice area, however the kitchen could be better stocked with things for those that cook and bake more. A small stool could be useful in the upstairs, hallway bathroom as well as towel hooks. Would recommend

Other than the ants and the upstairs being significantly warmer than the downstairs, it is a great property!

Best rental ever!

We were an extended family staying the weekend at this gorgeous rental! The home’s styling was stunning! Every detail was perfect; the hosts thought of everything! I had an easy check in/out, and when we had questions, the hosts were very responsive. We loved it, and hope to come back and stay again!
