Snowmobile trip in Traverse City
Perfect location for our snowmobile trip! The house had plenty of space for the 5 of us. Great amenities, comfortable beds. The heated driveway was very smart for descending the hill. We will be renting this house again next year for sure!

Beautiful home
We had an amazing stay. Even though there was a fruit fly infestation, the house is beautiful, spacious, and perfect for a large group. We were 11 women and everyone had enough space. We used the kayak and the firepit! The deck and two living rooms were great for gathering! Only other opportunity for improvement would be bed comfortability. Not the comfiest. Would stay again though.

Not as expected
It was really nice to have a place that was private and near the water. The pictures online made the place appear newer and more clean than it really was. The place was not terrible, but was way overpriced for what was advertised. We also got double charged with getting vrbo accidental damage protection, then charged a fee for the same thing from the owners. We did appreciate the owners opening up their home, and if it had been half the cost that we paid and the pictures more representative of what the place was, the review would be more positive.

Better Than The Conference Hotel
We stayed here during a conference at a Grand Traverse, 10 of us (adults) and there was plenty of room. The lake was beautiful, many extras grill, pots pans, paper towels, salt pepper, cooking spray etc. Was super functional! Also plenty of places to sit relax. Highly recommend.

The house was overall a nice experience, the driveway scared most of the girls, very steep 😂. A couple things weren’t cleaned when I checked in. I wish the rooms had ceiling fans of some box fans. You can hear everything. If you are planning a trip bring a fan or two! Location was good, 15 mins from downtown TC, a very good pizza place like 2 mins away!
