Amazing stay!!

We came to see the autumn colors and get away from the city and this was the best place to stay!!! Easy access to lake and beautiful views with a fire to stay warm. Hot tub was spacious and easy to use. House was cozy with plenty of room and an easy drive into Traverse City. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay - will definitely come back!!

A wedding getaway in traverse City

We were invited to a wedding in traverse City and we chose this VRBO to stay at for the weekend and I couldn't be more happy with the coziness and location of this house.

Easy Family Relaxation

Property provided everything our family of 5 plus pet could have needed. It was a great base to relax in and play games and eat smores with the family, and then travel to Traverse City for activities and fun. Would consider again next year especially around Cherry Festival time.

Nice property - we didn't want to leave

We had a great stay on Dyer Lake. The property was huge with a lot of space to relax, 2 fire pits, including one right on the lake. There were 5 of us and a dog that loved it. The house itself is cozy. It had everything we needed and a good amount of room. It would have been nice to have air conditioning as it was pretty hot during the day. Luckily it cooled down in the evenings. The location was great- very central to everything. Dyer Lake is a small, private lake with no motorboats, etc. Not a lot of fish, though we did catch some largemouth bass. Overall, we loved the place and would like to return some time soon.

Cozy Stay

We are a group of 8 friends (4 couples) so the house was a bit tight for the kitchen / dining area. In addition, the pictures I did not realize that the 4th room option with a bed is in the basement next to the pool table so we used that room as a full bedroom, not really a hangout area so that couple could have their privacy. The house is near a neighbor that has a dog so know the dog will visit you (super friendly though), and the person next door was doing home work so you would hear nail guns, etc. The communication was not fast, so know that if you plan on having questions you will not get immediate responses (it took 2 days for the first set of questions) and then no response when I added comments for when we left. Overall it was nice, but I do not think we would go running back to the same place if we visit again.

Cozy and a “Feel at Home” vibes

Toured around Michigan state with a group of friends on our motorcycles. This place was our first stop coming Chicago and it was very fitting for us. The house welcomed us like home and we were able to quickly settle in and rest our tired and aching bodies from all day riding on the road. The setting was perfect. We have acres of privacy, front and back. We fired up the firepit in the backyard, chilled and relaxed with our food and drinks. As the night settled in, we continued our conversation on a well sized deck until we retired for the night. Inside the house was warm and clean and accommodated everyone to sleep soundly and comfortably so that we are ready to hit the road again the next morning. Our host was excellent and always have an open line of communication and respond very timely. Overall, our entire group enjoyed the stay and this would be a spot for us to stay again if we do another tour of Michigan…
