Thank you for a great trip! Wonderful house for our family with 3 kids (3, 5 and 7yo). Plenty of space, well stocked, and a fabulous backyard with a swing, hot tub, river (kids could play in the river!), fire pit and a lot of space to run around. The beds were comfortable, the owner thoughtfully stocked staples, games, books, etc. Less than 10 minutes drive in either direction takes you to hiking areas that are beautiful and perfect for kids. We went rafting down the Manistee River, hiking in Sleeping Bear Dunes. Traverse City is 20 minute drive North and the beaches there are easy to access with easy parking. The playground at the Civic Center is great.
