We enjoyed this lake house!
We enjoyed our stay here! Not far from town at all! We did wish there were more actual beds due to 4 adults having to sleeping on the full in the basement and a pull out couch! Those weren’t very comfortable so they slept on air mattresses by the end of the week! The other 2 queens were comfortable. It was nice to have 3 kitchens and be able to split the families up! Also nice have an area in the basement for the kids! Beautiful view and the kids really enjoyed fishing and swimming!

Nice size cottage!
I think the best thing about this cottage is the size. During the week we stayed here we had 6-10 people. There are only two bedrooms as the third bedroom (lower level) is a whole living area. I would call the upstairs two separate apartments As you walk in the front door you go either right or left with a stairwell in the middle to go downstairs. Each side has its own large kitchen with new appliances and much storage space, a bedroom, full bath and living area. They can be closed off or the doors left open, as we did, with our families walking around freely to mingle. We had pre-teens, teens, parents and grandparents. Also loved the sandy beach with lots of chairs. We played volleyball, paddleball, used the fire pit for s’mores, kayaked, as well as using the peddle boat and paddle board a lot. There are 3 large tables downstairs with many chairs which we used for meals and games. The pool table was favorite for both the kids and adults. I do think it would help if the pictures on VRBO were updated. We had a wonderful week!

Awesome House and Location
House was clean, owner is very nice! Location is perfect. Like 15 mins from downtown traverse city. There’s a great restaurant within walking distance of the house (peegios). House actually looks nicer in person than it does in the photos. Listing could use some updated pic’s because they really don’t do it justice.

Relaxing and comfortable lake house
The house is perfect for 2 families! It’s much bigger than the photos suggest with 2 master bedrooms and multiple kitchens and living areas. The walkout basement is perfect for plenty of kids to sleep. The lake is nice for kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing. It’s a little small for boating. Cute beach and kids enjoyed the raft. 15 minute drive to downtown Traverse City.

Family Vaca July 2022
Diana was a wonderful host with great communication and prompt responses to all my questions. She was also kind enough to let us walk thru this home a few months before our stay to make sure it would accommodate our group. The house was supplied with everything we needed. The 3 kitchens worked well to fit everyone's food, snackies, and drinks. It also had a great game room downstairs for all of our teenagers. The beach area with bonfire pit, boats, and docks were all a wonderful addition to our stay. We were outside all day fishing, kayaking, and our littles were able to play in the sand. We would definitely recommend staying here and would go back in the future as well.

this was a great place we had 7 adults stay here as a base for mountain bike riding, it was perfect. we all thought this would be an unbelievable place for two families with kids to stay. If you are the type of person who needs 3 kitchens, look no further. We only used 2 of the kitchens, but the 3rd kitchen looked great as well.

The lodge was incredible! We had a group of 13 and loved the 3 kitchens, direct access to the lake, and tons of stuff to do (including paddle boarding/kayaking, fishing, swimming and hiking on the nearby walking trails. We loved the location, as it was quiet, but also close to traverse city. We definitely want to return again sometime, either in summer again, or during winter.
