Awesome getaway up north
My family and I had an amazing time staying here! The kids absolutely loved all the space and the air hockey table. Huge plus being dog friendly so we could bring our fur babies along with us. Chris was great at responding quickly and answering all of my questions. Would definitely stay here again!!

Great time
My son and I stayed here when we came up for a weekend of fishing. Although the fishing wasnt very good the house was great. I had trouble checking in because I wasnt able to open the VBRO on my phone for the lock code. I texted Chris and he responded right away. Great communication, we would stay here again and hope to next fall.

Perfect stay for extended family
We needed a large house for everyone & this was exactly that. Each family was able to have their own space and there was plenty of room in the living areas and kitchen. The yard was great for a bonfire and yard games (most of which were provided). I would recommend to any large group looking for a place to stay together in this area.

Spacious and Clean
This was just what we needed for a family of four and the girls' friends. Spacious! Loved the beds, the decor in the house, the large bathrooms, and the property. The "barely" college girls had their downstairs when they wanted no adults, too. It was perfect for us as we took day trips to Frankfort and Traverse City, without the Traverse City prices. Thank you so much!!

Easy commute to Traverse City
Stayed Thurs thru Sat eve in late June. The house size was great. Kitchen decently appointed but a big downer to have no dishwasher. Communication was great w/host. Check in instructions to add a # at end of code were not included, so caused some inconvenience, but figured it out. Ample parking. Remote location, but fit what we needed. Overall very good experience.

Just as described
The check in code won’t work till 4:05pm, we also had to buy a few things we left behind like a trash can for downstairs but for the most part, it has cute, it had lots of extras like firewood, folding chairs, plenty of pans, etc. We brought disposable plates and cups as we went through them too fast and no dishwasher, but I’d totally stay here again. It’s a great location and well done. My mom loved her bed so much she is going to buy one like it for home!

Lovely country getaway
This spacious home with a huge, quiet, well-kept front and back yards was perfect for our family group and puppy. There is plenty of space to spread out and enjoy relaxing. Fire pit and charcoal grill were great additions. There was a gigantic turkey who entertained us morning and evening with his strut.

This place was the perfect place to stay for the weekend. Close enough to several trails for hiking and right by the river for fishing. I would highly recommend it to everyone I know.
