Great communication. House was perfect for our weekend getaway with friends. The driveway has a bit of a slope down from the road, so if you plan a winter trip here you may want 4wd. Would definitely stay here again.

House was clean with simple floorplan making it easy to move about. Hot tub is fairly easy to use, A mechanical cover unit would be a plus.Plenty of closet space and necessary household items (towels, kitchen equip etc) Centrally located to many attractions /restaurants in Traverse city and around the county area.Driveway / parking reasonably clear of snow. A Challenge in winter for sure.Would recommend for small family and / or group of friends.

Fantastic customer service!! The kitchen had a Keurig coffee maker (huge plus), with plenty of K-Cups for two people. However, we ended up with four people (two more than the original reservation), and needed more coffee. Not wanting to drive back to a store, I messaged Blake, who arrived in about ten minutes, bearing lots of extra K-Cup pods!! Very impressed! We loved everything about the property and would not hesitate to recommend Blake as a host.

This place was great! My son and I were road tripping through Northern Michigan and needed a cool spot for our Traverse City / Leelanau Cty adventures. Super relaxing home in a beautiful country setting. The hot tub was great and we did s'mores by the campfire at night. It's a short easy drive to/from TC. I wish we stayed longer! We'll definitely be back!

This is a pretty new and very nice house. The location is rural as noted it its description,but is very convenient and quick to get to TC as well as Lake Michigan, Grand Traverse Bay, and the peninsulas. There's a nice winery very close to the property. Blake was quick to respond to any messaging and provided us with some good recommendations for some of the things we wanted to do. The hot tub was a hit! The only reason we did not rate this as a 5 is that the water heater did not seem to be adequate for a party of 5 adults.

Beautiful and comfortable

This home was perfect for our needs. It was clean, comfortable, and had beautiful views. We wanted to go wine tasting all weekend but the weather had other plans. We were able to go wine tasting the first night and come back to relax in the hot tub. It was nice that the hot tub was right outside the door, so we didn’t have to go far in the cold weather. The views were beautiful, and it was so peaceful. We managed to get out for breakfast the next morning and buy provisions in the before hunkering down for the rest of the 2nd day. The living room and dining area was so comfortable. We sipped wine and played games all evening and enjoyed watching the snow fall. Blake is a wonderful host. He reached out to me before and during our stay. He quickly responded to our messages and made sure we were able to reach him immediately. He kept the driveway plowed, so we could get in and out. I would definitely recommend this home for your Traverse City getaway.
