Cozy home with a beautiful view! We enjoyed the backyard the most. The firepit right by the river made for a very peaceful night with good star gazing on the clear nights. The hot tub was perfect for the chilly evenings after spending the day in Traverse City. Large windows provided great views from inside. Inside was compact, enough room for 2 adults and 1 kid. The steam shower was amazing!! We really enjoyed our stay. We would love to come back when it is warmer and enjoy the river!

Everything about this property was perfect. House was clean, looks fairly new but still it looks to be well taken care of. Location was great, coffee in the morning while watching the river out back, sitting in the hot tub, or relaxing around the fire. This is one place we will definitely stay again and would bring my kids next time to enjoy the property. The shower was amazing and the steamer/sauna in the shower was great. I think the only thing I would change is going to kings beds for a little bit more sleeping room. But they were comfortable so that was good.

Amazing views, comfortable property on the river. Would definitely stay there again. Our family had a great time at the fire pit and hit tub listening to the birds and just watching the river go by. The steam shower is an added bonus!

Only 7 minutes from the Keystone Soccer Complex for the Cherry Cup tournament and the Broadman nature trails are just as close! Great for a family looking to shower, sleep with the sounds of the River, and eat nutritious home made meals in the fully functioning kitchen. Highly recommend for soccer families! The nature trails offer a great destination before, between, or after games. We found so many cool rocks and were enthralled with the beauty of nature.

Smooth check in and check out, I have to agree with the guests who say the pictures don’t do it justice, we swam and tubed right from the house, the host was so responsive, from dining options to where to get off the river after tubing!! We had a blast and can’t wait to bring the rest of our family back up!!
