Great weekend stay

We really had a nice weekend. It is super pet friendly and our dogs enjoyed their weekend as well. There are walking trails for the dogs and there is a dog park about 15 min away. They have couch covers for the dogs which was great and looked better than the mismatch of sheets I always bring to cover. We took in a show in manistee and spent an afternoon in traverse city. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. There are plenty of towels too. The sauna was great and such a nice feature to have. My only complaint is the main bed is super hard. My shoulder and hip joints were super sore from it. They have pull out beds in the living room with a memory foam pad so I slept a little better on that, but pull out beds aren’t the most comfortable either. If we stay again, I would bring a camping mat to put on the main bed. Quiet and peaceful there. Also, everything well labeled with good instructions. Everything was very clean! Thanks for a great weekend.

Cozy winter getaway

This place was very comfortable and cozy. We stayed here during a blizzard and it felt like we were in our own world. Copemish is small and charming, very quiet, with proximity to some nice restaurants and Crystal Mountain. I would describe this vrbo as picture perfect.

Great location and very cozy!

Wonderful and convenient location allowing us easy access to Crystal Mountain for our overnight ski vacation. The living room was very spacious and the home was warm and clean. The board games and pantry essentials were much appreciated and extra blankets and pillows made it so each member of our family slept comfortably. We definitely hope to stay again. Thank you!

Perfect for family

Visiting family for the holiday, but with 2 dogs and a toddler, our own space is a must. This place has all the amenities we needed and more! Kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans, cutting boards, knives, etc. everything needed to prepare your own meals. There's also a washer and dryer which is nice to have in case of any wardrobe emergencies (toddler). The sectional couch has an attached pullout ottoman that converts it into a huge couch/bed hybrid, and there is a big flat screen TV - awesome for family movie time. Our dogs loved running through the field that's right across the street and belongs to the property owners as well. It snowed quite a bit during our stay and there was someone to shovel and salt the deck, front stoop, and walkways. We could tell the family who owns this place puts a lot of care into maintaining the property and making guests feel comfortable and welcome. We can't wait to come back the next time we visit the area!

Second Year

This was the second time we have stayed at George's Hilltop Retreat (the first time was one year before). It is difficult finding places to stay that allow dogs, especially dogs that weigh more than 20 lbs. That is one of the things I like about George's. Not only are dogs welcome, but there are supplies in the house to make the stay with dogs easier for the guests (couch covers, food dishes, etc.). Also, there's a nice amount of outdoor space, as well as a firepit. We went up the trail to the top of the hill to view the Northern Lights. Beautiful area to do so. Both years, we have had a comfortable, enjoyable stay.

Family vacation

The vrbo met all our needs. Anything we could possibly need from the kitchen was available. There was plenty of room for the four of us to be comfortable. We had questions about the station settings for the TV We called the owner and he answered and walked us through the set up and answered all our questions. We also enjoyed the sauna on the property. :)

Great location and peaceful cottage

The cottage is centrally located, close to Crystal Mountain, Traverse City, Frankfort and interlochen. Very peaceful, dog friendly - my dog loved to run in the meadow and fields. Good size kitchen and laundry for a one bedroom and pullout couches were comfortable. Highly recommend for a small family get away. Dusty the owner was easy to communicate with.

Memories were made

Finding the cottage was easy. It was clean, spacious and comfortable. It was well stocked and nice for a family of 5. We enjoyed the hammocks, the deck, bonfire pit (mosquitoes were bad), and the charcoal grill! The pull out coaches were perfect and the blinds to keep it dark were Great! Really the only complaint we had were the neighbors. The loud vehicles and constant yelling and cussing at their dog. Not the Owners fault but disappointing to hear that when enjoying such a peaceful looking cottage in what I would describe the perfect northern cottage experience. For older children that might not be an issue. Overall I like to think we would and could rent again and enjoy ourselves. We were able to travel to Traverse City and Leland in less than a hour. Thank you for such a lovely place to make memories!

Cute House

We were in the area to check out some of the local disc golf courses. The house was as described. Very well stocked and close to what we needed. The television was a little tricky to get working properly but we were able to figure it out eventually. We did not use the sauna, but did use the fire pit which was lovely to have. There was a dog that wandered into the yard from next door. It took a moment to get the people to come get him. Our dog is nervous around new dogs so we had to make sure we were keeping an eye out in case he wandered back over. Pretty sure he was using the yard for his bathroom as there were a few poop piles that did not come from our critter kid. Overall we enjoyed our time here and found everything to be great!

Quiet getaway with outdoor space for pets to play!

We had a really great time here. The place was very clean and our pets loved the acreage to run and play. Very close to Traverse city where we took our 3 year to play for a day at Great Wolf lodge. I would highly recommend a stay if you are planning to visit the Traverse City area. I noticed there was even a place to go kayaking about 15 minutes down the road but it was too cold in March.
