This space exceeded my expectations! Very clean, felt genuinely homey, and you can tell how much attention to detail and effort was put into this space to make it feel like a true home away from home. The best rental property I have ever booked, and look forward to potentially booking again.

Great Place!!

We took our mom (78 yoa) for a nice relaxing weekend w/family. Spent time at the National Cherry Festival, went to Moomers (a couple times), visited shops, and ate at many restaurants. Had a great time, wish the weather was a little nicer, but we’ll take it!

Perfect for our family

We come up for Cherry festival every summer. This was the first time we stayed as a family under one roof. The house was perfect place for us to stay. Plenty of entertainment for the kiddos in the basement and yard. The open concept was nice to meet with everyone in the morning and figure out plan for the day.

Wonderful property in a great location. We weren't there for the beach, but it's in super close proximity to Long Lake. Also a quick jaunt to golf and restaurants and downtown Traverse City. We really enjoyed our stay. Large bedrooms, plenty of towels and essentials in the bathrooms and kitchen. Great games in the basement as well. Overall, we had a great time connecting with our adult kids in an environment where everyone had everything they needed to be comfortable!

Great location if you want to experience everything Leelanau Peninsula has to offer. We spent time in Traverse City, Empire/Sleeping Bear Dunes, Sutton’s Bay and more. Rove Winery, Jacobs Farm, Gallagher’s market stand and Moomers are all so close and are fantastic! The homeowner’s information was super easy to follow and the home had every amenity we needed plus more. My daughter especially loved the games downstairs. Lots of space, great fire pit, and privacy — looking forward to staying here again in the future.
