"Perfect in every way!"

Lakeview King Suite l Sauna l Cozy Fall Retreat!

10/10 Excellent

"The lake view and amenities were excellent. We appreciated the pet friendly location and close proximity to Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes."

Boardman River Cottage, 2 bedroom 1 Bath steps away from the banks of the river

10/10 Excellent

"This property was by far one of the best properties we have ever stayed at! Everything was extremely clean and taken care of! John was on site for any questions if needed. He called with instructions on location and where the key was which was great so no questions from us on check in day! Absolutely all details were thought about right down to the”dog towels”! We cooked in everyday for breakfast and dinner! The only thing we had to buy was the food we wanted to cook! There were plenty of spices, condiments, and any pans we would need! We sat by the fire every evening enjoying the all the sounds and sights of the bustling river. We brought a grate to put over the fire pit to cook our dinner which was really nice and definitely easy! The location is close to everything! Only a 15 minute drive to downtown TC. It’s an easy drive to the wineries as well! We enjoyed our time so much that we booked again for next fall!! Thanks John, for being a great host!"

Two Side By Side Luxury Lakeside Homes With Dock, Sandy Beach, Kayak/SUPs

10/10 Excellent

"Lakemore Retreat was the perfect location for a 30 year reunion of 18 old friends! The property was beautiful and exactly as advertised. Communication was easy and friendly and prompt with our hosts. The views were breathtaking. The houses had everything we could ever need. We will definitely recommend and hopefully come back again!"

Spider Lake Oasis | Beach | Fire Pit | Dock | Private | Fishing

10/10 Excellent

"The house size was as described when booking. Enough room for my large family to all stay together. Great accommodations however, there was no view of the lake from the deck because the trees were overgrown.The house was great, but the deck, the stairs to the lake, and fire pit area at lakeside could have used some TLC."

Newly Built Luxury Lakefront Cottage with Fire Pit, Dock, Game Room

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful stay! The house was spotless upon arrival and check-in was seamless. We had plenty of space for eight adults. We were able to enjoy the outdoor space by using the fire pit and SUPs. The team was attentive via text. Would highly recommend this for a large group…would be great for families with young kids as the upstairs loft area (and game room) would def be kid faves. Would love to come here again in the summer to enjoy the lake."

Quiet and Peaceful 3 Bedroom Family Cottage on Lake George, 12 Miles to TC

10/10 Excellent

"Gayle and her sister Alison provided the perfect jumping-off point to visit Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island. The cute little cottage is fully appointed, complete with kayaks, firewood, a well-stocked kitchen and two full baths. It was a comfortable place to hang out after long days. The little lake made for beautiful, peaceful kayaking, and the distance from the city allowed for great star-gazing. Our visit there was a wonderful way to combine the peaceful setting in the woods with the hubbub of the touristy cities. Gayle and Alison couldn't have made us feel more at home and offered more than a few ideas off the beaten path so that we could avoid crowds sometimes."
