Lovely little home in the woods complete with everything we could’ve needed - beach towels and chairs, coffee, dog bowls & towels. Close to everything we wanted to do - hike & beach, and attend a friend’s wedding! Communication with Matthew was excellent. He answered all of my questions promptly. If we come back to this area, we’d be so happy to stay here again!

Great introduction to Michigan
Was our first time to the Michigan area and we had a great time. Close location to great beaches and towns. Only stayed for three days and didn’t get everything thing in one we fell in love with the beach! Which was cold but didn’t bother the little one a bit. House was great, all the extras were a nice touch. Matthew was a great host thank you for a memorable family vacation!

What a fantastic place for a cousins weekend! We were a party of 8 and all were very happy with everything…which isn’t always easy with that size group. Our host was very helpful with both written response and literature for all our questions. He responded very quickly, too. Very professional. Everything we needed was on the property. We are planning on returning in the future. Thank you Matt!

Perfect location, cozy wooded home
Stayed with family and kids aged 1.5 to 5 and we loved it. Kids toys in the house, Boogie boards and sand toys much appreciated. Upstairs bedroom is a loft, wish there were walls and a door, but overall would definitely recommend!

Wonderful stay! Matthew the owner of the rental could not have been easier to work with! The house is charming, clean and very comfortable with anything you could need or want. Fully stocked kitchen! I mean full stocked! Wonderful coffee/tea bar complete with to-go cups and lids. Everything was well marked, i.e., light switches, fan switches/remotes, etc. Comfy beds and nice, hot showers. Location was perfect for visiting Traverse City, Leland, Glen Arbor, Mission Peninsula, etc. Do visit the wineries! OMG...Mari, Brys, Rove, Chateau Chantel, etc. Beautiful scenery at each and wonderful wines. Excellent shopping in Glen Arbor and Traverse City. Would happily stay here again and highly recommend!

Everything we needed or wanted was there.
The house worked perfectly for our group of 3 couples. The best part was that each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom on their own separate floor. The kitchen table extended for plenty of room for game night. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful with trees surrounding the property. The kitchen was well equipped and even had a cupcake pan, which we used to make birthday cupcakes. There was coffee, a washer & dryer, cleaning supplies, soap and shampoo, pretty much anything you might need. Our group truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!

Wine weekend
My wife and I come to the area every early November to find some wine/spirits and just get away for a minute. This year we asked our closest friends to join. They had little experience in what the north west had to offer, so showing them was one of the most enjoyable weekends we have had with them. And the house was just the perfect place to rest and taste our finds of the day. Would recommend this house to anyone that asks. Thank you to our host for all the great amenities within. We really need to know what kind of coffee was provided. It was excellent!!

Excellent!
We arrived in October 3-6th. Our stay with friends was wonderful, kitchen fully stocked as we made breakfast daily before leaving for events/fun throughout the county! Beds were very comfortable, the home was clean, the owner (Matt) was more than generous we had coupons for wine tasting, a chilled bottle of wine, cinnamon rolls and the fire pit was set up! We soooo enjoyed our stay at the house as well as venturing out to all the wineries/events and restaurants! Matt thank you for being so communicative as well as generous! Would come back in a minute! Loved our stay!❤️❤️

All the comforts of home in a central location
Homeowner, Matthew, was communicative throughout our planning and stay. The house was clean, well stocked, with both a gas and wood fire pit out back. The neighborhood is quiet and woodsy. I appreciated not having a long list of chores when checking out.
It was quiet and very comfortable. Lots of things available. The only problem would be the stairs into the house for we older people.

Awesome up north stay!
We had 6 in our party. My husband and our 4 adult kids. We had such a nice time at the property! We stayed in Friday night and cooked dinner. The kitchen accommodated us perfectly. There was everything we needed to prepare our meal! We spent the day Saturday in Suttons Bay and Glen Arbor, and had such a fun time! We made a delicious breakfast Sunday before we cleaned up and headed out. The home was comfortable, welcoming, and very clean! The beds were so comfy :-) the kids had so much fun downstairs playing old-school Mario brothers and watching their favorite shows on the big screen projector. Highly recommend this property! There’s even a little cozy fireplace. We noticed it would be so nice to stay there during the winter time :-)
