We stayed for a weekend and really enjoyed our time. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family. The hosts are very friendly and provided all the information we needed for check in and out. The house is well supplied and the attention to detail throughout is excellent!
The house was perfect for our large family, was very clean, and had all the amenities we needed. The location is secluded yet a short drive to TC and Sutton’s Bay. The host was great and communication was timely and clear, would definitely stay here next time!
The house was great and very clean. The pictures are accurate. This was a great place for us to use as home base to check out wineries and traverse city. Would stay here again!
Our girls’ trip to Traverse City was absolutely amazing! This place exceeded all our expectations and looked just like the pictures! The highlight? The hot tub! It was spotless and added the perfect touch of luxury to our stay. We had such an incredible time!
We had a wonderful time. The kitchen was so well appointed. The home was beautiful. The drive into town was easy. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. The living room with huge couch and fireplace was a great place to spend time together. Beds were comfy and the hosts were very responsive.
The location is great. Not too far from downtown TC but far enough you’re secluded. The check in and out process were easy. Responsive to all my emails too!
My family and I had a great time at the nest. The house has been remodeled and updated and is very cozy. The house is also situated on a private and wooded lot with beautiful views. The beds were comfy, and the sheets were soft. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals for a large group and the large kitchen table was perfect too. We would definitely stay here again.
The home was so cute and enough space for 12 adults. The outdoor space was large and wooded with plenty of parking. Close so downtown traverse city and fish town. Really enjoyed the fire pit at night.
The owner of this house thought of everything! It was comfortable and clean. I can’t say enough good things! They responded quickly about a question we had with the checkout process. I would highly recommend!
We enjoyed the house and the outdoor fire pit! Great for roasting marshmallows! Very quiet country area so must drive to everything. Do be prepared for steps, both outside and inside. House is well-equipped and attractive!
Sweet farmhouse, beautifully appointed while maintaining a cozy vibe. The View of the country road and meadow was amazing. Located right off a rolling country road at the base of the peninsula, short drives to TC, Empire and Suttons Bay. Hosts provided detailed guidebook for eats, hikes and were quick to follow up on questions. Thank you .
Our family decided to do a little Northern Pre-Christmas. This updated farmhouse was amazing in every aspect. We were pleasantly surprised with the size of every room and extra spaces. The cleanliness, decor, amenities, all top notch. It was the perfect degree of seclusion. Close enough to town and the main road, other homes to be seen yet space in between.
We will definitely plan on visiting again!
Property was just as advertised and has all the things you could need. Location allowed you to feel away from everything but close drive to downtown traverse city and many wineries/breweries. We loved how the place was laid out and decorated, open space but felt super cozy. Kitchen was well stocked and host left some nice touches (bottle of wine, coffee). The host was super responsive and flexible on check-in/out time which we really appreciated. Beautiful setting, nice fire outside at night and the fall colors were spectacular. It was a Pure Michigan weekend!!
Quiet get away, easy drive to Traverse/Leland/Northport
We needed a quiet get away for a long weekend. The house totally got the proverbial bill. It’s outside TC but not by a lot. It has a ton of property surrounding it. Very quiet and peaceful. Nice updates. I’m plenty of room. Hot tub could have albeen a little belt warmer. Very clean. We would certainly rent it again. Fall colors with freash cut agriculture would be beautiful l. Hosts were beyond awesome and communication was spot on
This property is just lovely.....plenty of room and very updated and airy. The beds are comfy.....the kitchen and d.r. large and handy for preparing meals together and enjoying the open space. To sit in the living room and visit and have that big window with the beautiful view was our first thing to do in the morning and last thing at night....a beautiful gathering place. Everything was thought of from extra linens and towels to hairdryers and fully stocked kitchen. Btw, thank you for the bottle of local wine...very good! The location is excellent...quiet and private yet a short drive to town and to Sleeping Bear and other spots. Would love to visit again! Know that this place is exactly as presented in the pictures....just beautiful! Our family group ranged from a 22 year old to an 80 year old and we were all delighted with this choice.
Check in process very easy, host very quick to respond to questions, very clean and location was only 10 miles from most of our excursions! Beautiful view while sitting in the hot tub and also close to a seasonal road for quiet morning and evening walks.
Enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit outside and the view from table in living room at breakfast. Large well supplied kitchen. Very responsive hosts. Convenient location for sleeping bear dune and Traverse city attractions. And several excellent bike trails. Visit!
We had an amazing stay at this house in Cedar! The house was a dream - well-stocked kitchen, beautiful rooms, an idyllic setting. We cooked dinner here with our family of 8 every night and had everything we needed. The house is also centrally located so it’s easy to get anywhere you want - wineries on Traverse City Peninsula, Sleeping Bear Dunes, wonderful beaches, etc. We loved our stay & would return here in a heartbeat!
