Relaxing fall getaway
My husband and I stayed for three nights in early November. The property was clean and very well furnished, the host was sweet and responsive, and the location was perfect. We relaxed and enjoyed the view and took advantage of the quick trip to great wineries, downtown Traverse City, and beautiful hiking. It was our first time to the area but we are definitely planning to return and hope to stay at this wonderful property again!

Quite, comfortable hideaway on Old Mission Peninsula
I stayed at a fantastic rental property last weekend that exceeded my expectations. The space was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly roomy, making it perfect for relaxation after a day of exploring. Its location was ideal, just a short drive from the local wineries and the vibrant downtown Traverse City. The host was welcoming and provided helpful recommendations, enhancing my experience. Overall, it was a delightful stay, and I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the region.

Great spot on the peninsula.
This is a wonderful apartment. It's a duplex, but you have total privacy. Very clean and well stocked apartment. Might require driving or ride service to get downtown, but great access to wineries on the peninsula for tours and such. Definitely recommend.
We had a great stay on a beautiful property. Our host was there but invisible. Check in and check out were seamless. We didn’t eat there during our stay but all the staples were there if we needed. Daily, I enjoyed my morning coffee that was provided (with creamer) while enjoying fantastic views out the window. Thank you for helping to make a family wedding weekend as stress free as possible.

Golf, wine and laughter
We loved Mimi and Gary's place.The location is wonderful got to see the bay everyday, listening to waves and the sounds of Traverse Bay. Close to all we wanted to enjoy. Met Mimi, Gary and their Ziggy... great dog. Visited a couple of wineries enjoyed the views at all of them. Ate awesome whitefish dip at Fishtown with drinks of course. Enjoyed local beach in this hot weather. Jolly Pumpkin was great food. In the evenings we enjoyed the condo/apartment playing cards and listening to music. Truley and great place and outstanding host. Thanks Mimi we will see you again there is no doubt.

Great location and beautiful home in MI wine country
Was such a beautiful and clean home and Mimi was so kind enough to write out a thoughtful note along with a small bag of chocolates to welcome our group! We were there to try out some of the local wineries/vineyards and come to find out, there’s one within walking distance. Would definitely consider Mimi’s house for future trips to the area!
