Perfect Getaway - 5 min walk to beach, Tart trail, boat/kayak launch

Get ready to feel right at home the next time you visit Northwestern Michigan. Perfectly located, our property is (1) block from East Bay's beaches, boat launches, marinas, boat rentals, restaurants and more. We are also just (3) blocks to the Tart and Leelanau Trails, with bike access to Traverse City (2 miles), its theaters, Wineries, Breweries, Farmers Market and other amenities. The trails also provide bike access to Suttons Bay (15 miles), and even to Sleeping Bear Dunes (22 miles). Located on a quiet residential street tucked away in a neighborhood oasis just one block off M22, there is no better location for enjoying all the area has to offer with ease next time you find yourself headed Up North.. Note re Furniture- very plush and comfy, made to sink back and relax. Not ideal for guests who desire hard surfaces that are easy to get up from. Guests with mobility limitations would lbe most comfortable on Pottery Barn loveseat in living area or a dining room chair with arms to help tthem sit down and stand up. Most people love the comfiness but it doesn’t suit everyones needs.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Clean, comfortable home great location

We stayed at this property for a long weekend while in town for a wedding. Host was very accommodating, especially when she learned we had a young toddler with us. Easy to communicate with and made the check in/out process a breeze. Plenty of linens/towels, basic pantry items, dishes, etc to make your stay comfortable. Just a few minutes from a lovely beach park.

Such a lovely stay!

Judy's place was perfect for the six of us - we were three sets of adult couples. Couldn't have asked for a more convenient, comfortable stay. Judy herself was incredibly helpful with accommodations and location recommendations (food, events, area). The beds were comfortable, kitchen roomy, ample bathrooms, and plenty of space to spread out. Loved the walkable area - only just a few easy minutes to an awesome public beach. Would stay here again in a heartbeat - thanks Judy!

Property owner goes above and beyond

This house was the perfect place for our family of 6. Close to several great restaurants, an ice cream place, the bike trail and the lakeshore. Yet it was tucked away just enough for privacy and quiet. Judy, the owner, was especially wonderful to deal with. We were welcomed to the house with a bottle of wine and plenty of waffle mix for breakfast. This was so nice after a long day of driving! We would definitely stay here again!

Quiet Retreat

While close to all that is happening in town this house is set back a quarter mile in a mature treed neighborhood. With front and rear decks with numerous lounges, and an outdoor refrigerator, there was always a nice quiet place to relax in the June Michigan sun. One of our party was quite fond of these spots for an afternoon nap. The house is very comfortable, beds sleep like a dream. And, we all commented on how well stocked it is with one or more of everything. Overall, this house is an oasis set back from the mussel and mussel of a busy beach town. We loved our time being able to enjoy a few days away from reality.

Weekend Away!

We spent an enjoyable long weekend with our adult children, the deck makes a nice gathering place. The kitchen was well appointed with cookware/appliances, we were able to fix all our meals, relax and enjoy our family. We had one minor issue, but the host was very responsive, and it was addressed quickly and efficiently.

Off the Beaten Path

In the middle of a hectic vacation locale, you can find peace and quiet at this VRBO. Having breakfast on the front deck together was a great way to start the day. It was like being at home. Any type of cookware was available, and the hostess went to extra lengths in welcoming us. There was plenty of room for our party of six adults. We had a wonderful weekend in TC.

Home was very clean, many extra amenities (food items, spices, coffee pods), the porch was very attractive and comfortable. One sofa in living room was a bit dated and somewhat uncomfortable. Description of 3rd bathroom(in basement) in relation to 3rd bedroom(on main floor) was misleading.

Short Vacation with our children and their families

We were very pleased with the accommodations and the accuracy of the information provided. Judy was very helpful and quick in answering any questions we had. Judy provides everything you need and more. The location was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the deck. A quick walk to the beach or to get ice cream was a lovely way to spend each day. And a lake to fish and/kayak was nearby also. We are ready to plan another trip!
