East Bay Getaway Cottage - Minutes away from Downtown Traverse City & Horse Show

Great views and location, perfect for a couple or a few friends.

This place is small but perfect, has everything needed. Owner is friendly and very nice. Great view

The house was cute, nicely decorated, and clean. The location was super convenient to do things in Traverse City and the view of the East Bay from the front window was nice. Pretty much everything you could need was there to use, including dishes, pans, towels, sheets, and bathroom supplies. The property manager even left some suggestions of things to do in the area. There were a few minor things that could be improved, though. The biggest issue was the noisy water softener unit in the laundry room. (This seemed to only be during the day, not at night.) A door or insulated door cover on the laundry room to dampen the noise would be nice. Some baking sheets to use in the oven would also be helpful. The tub creaks when showering (Setting the tub in a bed of concrete during installation elimates this.) Direct access to the fenced area would be great for people traveling with dogs instead of having to walk them over on a leash. Overall, it was a very nice place and we enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage! The cottage is well stocked with everything you might need, from laundry and dish soap to dog towels and coolers for a day by the beach. Our dogs had a great time as well in the fenced in yard, as well as the roadside park just across the street. The interior of the cottage is cute, clean and well furnished, and we had plenty of space for two adults and two dogs. The couches and beds are very comfortable, and there are tons of backup linens in the closet as well. It is situated on a pretty busy road, and took us quite awhile to be able to turn left towards Traverse during peak traffic. However, once on the main road, everything you might want to do is just 10-15 minutes away. Finally, the host was great! She was very attentive during our stay and was quick to answer any questions we had. Overall we loved our stay here, and would be sure to return the next time we come to the Traverse area!
