Travel Advisory: Local Road Construction
Please note that there is ongoing road construction on Grandview Parkway between Division Street and Cherry Bend Road, which may result in slightly longer travel times to and from downtown Traverse City from your location. This construction does not affect access to the home directly and will not impact your stay at the property. We recommend allowing a few extra minutes for travel during your visit, or seeking an alternative route in Google Maps.

Super Cozy spot and great location. Bonfire was fantastic, Squirrels nest had fun games for the adults and kids. Beds were comfortable and house was perfect for our getaway.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2024
The accommodations were spectacular! Clean, comfortable and well furnished, the house provided a truly "home away from home" environment for relaxing. The most significant advantage was the Squirrel Nest. This game room area provided every member of our family both young and old, an unbelievable place to gather. Its availability of ping pong, video games, table games, and television in such a comfortable setting quickly became extremely popular with every member of the family. The outdoor fire pit was the perfect place to relax at nigtht under the stars while feasting on s'mores.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2022
I rented this cute house for my 86 year old mother, husband, 13 year old son and I. My son broke his arm 2 days prior. My son and husband could not come due to the nature of break that may need surgery. There is no way my whole group of 4 could've stayed comfortably, even though there are 6 places to sleep. The house is very tight. There are no closets. No dishwasher and only 1 bathroom. We liked the location, but M22 is a very well traveled, noisy road that does not quiet down much at night.
For 2 females staying alone, it would have felt safer having an indoor lock on back door, as screen door does not shut properly.
We appreciated the charm of the house. We did not go into the Squirrels Nest.
