The cabin was very clean, and had everything we needed, the setting was beautiful, the fall colors down at the lake were amazing. We would love to stay again.
We always enjoy staying here. It is very quiet and comfortable. My husband enjoys fishing off the dock. A great place to relax and watch the deer passing through the property.
This was a very quiet and relaxing location. We enjoy the scenery and fishing on the lake. It is just the right distance to places in town to visit and shop, as well as restaurants. We plan on staying here again.
Once again we have a restful and enjoyable time during our stay in Traverse City. The cottage is wonderful. We had a great time fishing and enjoying the area. Looking forward to coming back next year.
It is a cabin so away from the city, which we were looking for. Good accommodations and a filtered pitcher in the fridge was a nice bonus. Suited our expectations very well!
The property was excellent we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The scenery and atmosphere around the cottage this time of year is top notch. Susan the owner was easy to reach for the few questions we had. We will definitely be returning to this property in the future.
Cabin was lovely and the lake frontage was where spent every day. The fishing early morning off the dock was very active. Caught enough blue gill for dinner one evening. We would recommend for a low key getaway.
Our first time here was for our honeymoon and now for our 3rd anniversary. This is our favorite place in the world. It's so cozy and the location is perfect. We want to buy this property someday. Thanks for a wonderful experience. We will be back.
Very nice cottage, well supplied kitchen and very clean. We enjoyed using the aluminum boat for fishing and the kayak. The lake has no public access and is on the small side, so no speeding boats or jet skis makes for a quiet place to relax. Big deck and many stairs down the dock at the lake. We hope to return next year.
This property was wonderful! It was private with so many extras. We had two 15yr old boys with us that loved the boats/kayaks. My husband and I enjoyed the closeness to Traverse City. Susan responded quickly when we had trouble checking in and gave us nearby restaurant and grocery store recommendations. I would recommend 10/10!
We had a wonderful stay, property was clean very accessible to everything we wanted to do in the area. Property Management is great to work with. Would recommend to others who want to travel to this area.
We loved this property! We stayed for a long weekend to attend a wedding in downtown Traverse City. The place was so nice and cozy and we had the best time!! We will definitely look to stay here again if in the TC area!!
This was the fourth time we stayed at the property. Every stay had been a wonderful time of rest and relaxation. We enjoy fishing on the lake. We look forward to coming back next year.
