Extremely clean and property, inside and outside. Beautiful suite, comfortable and nice breakfast with, perhaps, the best motel coffee we've had in many years.

A Wonderful Return Visit!
We love everything about this idyllic little home that's just a short distance from Traverse City. It's so clean, well-appointed, quiet and comfortable. Best of all, Kara and Eric are friendly, welcoming hosts to us and our lovable 98-pound dog, Dilly. We know that this is the place we will always try to book! The nearby cows are a bonus--when we spot them! We WILL be back, whenever we can slip away to our home-away-from home!

Easy and beautiful
This was a great place to stay on our visit to the area and Sleeping Bear Dunes. While still an hour away from the dunes all the space in between and near by provided all that we needed, traverse city, pie, wine, beaches. The place was clean, well laid out, stocked, and very easy to check in to, hosts were very helpful and kind.

Peaceful & dog friendly
This was the perfect spot for us and our dogs. It was a relaxing & comfortable place to come back to after our adventures each day. We loved being greeted by the cows every morning. The owners were on site & available, but not at all intrusive. They answered questions immediately. It's a great location to explore all the surrounding areas. We definitely want to come back!

Great place
8 of us used the property for our home base during a yearly golf trip and it served its purpose perfectly. It was clean and well stocked with what it should include. You feel like you're in the middle of nowhere but you're 5 minutes to grand traverse resort and 10 minutes to lots in Traverse City. Great communication from the host before and during our visit. Highly recommend.

This property was perfect for our high school bass team. We had great parking for the trucks and boat and the house had everything we could possibly need. The hosts were wonderful! It was fun to have a fellow bass fisherman as a host.

Country Haven
This is the second time I stayed here and the return was an easy decision, once I decided what I wanted to do in northern MI. It is clean, comfortable, peaceful and within easy drives to Sleeping Bear/Leelanau area; Traverse City, Petoskey and Mackinaw City. The owners are helpful and welcoming. They are on the same property, but non intrusive. Very pleasant areas to walk the dogs. I'll hopefully return!

Cozy and quiet
It was a great place to stay. Very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed seeing the cows each morning. It’s a country setting but very close to all we needed including Meijer and Grand Traverse Resort. A clean place where we could sleep and cook our own meals and relax in between while including our dog in the stay.

An Adorable Home in a Great Area
This little house is situated in the middle of the country but just minutes from all kinds of fun. It was so quiet there - we slept so well. The bed was comfortable and the place was so clean. We were very impressed by the workmanship in the house and especially the cleanliness. Cara was a great communicator and was very welcoming as well.

My husband, my son, our Maltipoo and myself enjoyed the rental house. Everything we needed was supplied by the owner. It was a great spot to relax after going to Traverse City and Elk Rapids. My son really enjoyed having the large loft with foosball table to himself. Communication with the owner was excellent.

Beautiful and Relaxing Place!
We stayed -- with our dog -- for just two nights at this beautiful and relaxing home that offers so many amenities and little luxuries. Now we can't wait to return! It's just a short drive to Elk Rapids and also Traverse City, so it's perfect for any getaway to those areas. Kara was a gracious and welcoming host to us and to our dog. We're excited for our return trip to this place that now feels like our second home!
