Lake house vacation
The property was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our family's vacation. The beach area was wondeful. We would just walk to the beach and go back to the house as needed. The location was awesome. Very centrally located to downtown Traverse as well as the wineries and restaurants. We had a wonderful well needed family vacation. We would definitely rent this property again

Wonderful home in the Traverse City area
This home was more than we expected as first time VRBO travelers. Three friends each had our own rooms plus the time together using the living room and kitchen. So much nicer than doing hotels. We were able to do everything we intended for the TC area and stay within our budget. Our hosts were wonderful. Would definitely come back again with a similar size group of friends.

My husband and adult son and daughter in law came to Traverse City for a wine and brewery weekend.
Mary's cottage was a perfect spot to come back to after a long day of winery tours. It was extremely clean, comortable, and quaint and had everything we needed to feel welcome. We definitely look forward to a future stay! We wish our visit could have been longer!

Excellent stay at a pretty cottage.
This three bedroom cottage on Silver Lake in Traverse Cith was very relaxing snd enjoyable. The cottage is well appointed with everything we needed and it is so cozy and only 10 minutes from downtown to the shops and the Bay. It you aren’t interested in the crowds, sitting by Silver Lake is enjoyable on its own. We have vacationed here many times.

Perfect Family Vacation Spot
This property makes for an ideal home base for visiting local attractions and spending time with family. The home, neighborhood and nearby beach are impeccably kept. We felt safe and comfortable just like home. The owner, Mary, welcomed us with a lovely care package that made our stay that much better. I highly recommend this property and my family will definitely rent here again.

Why they chose this property

Have you ever wanted to go back to that time when you were a kid and relive an awesome memory? This cottage brings back the fond memories of my grandmother’s summer cottage at a lake near Ann Arbor, MI. I have the BEST summer memories of lazy days and fun with my family away from the city (Detroit). This cottage brings those memories back to life for me. I'm hoping that you and your family/friends can create some of those same memories while staying with us!
