Our stay was very nice. Check in went very smoothly. Overall the home was lovely, clean and spacious. Good quality towels, bedding, etc. The kitchen was well-equipped. We had an issue with the stove, however, Todd was able to resolve it very quickly. I really appreciated that Todd was responsive to any concerns or questions that i had before and during our stay. I had two concerns:There were 7 of us with two bathrooms. It was very challenging at times, and having an extra bathroom would have been a big help. The decking outside was very large and nice. I like it when I can sit outside and view the water. However, I was disappointed that you could see only a very tiny part of the water from one small area on the deck.We enjoyed the fire pit and appreciated having firewood supplied to us. The location was good. We were only 20 min or so from the downtown tranverse city area. Close enough to restaurants and grocery stores.it was a great experience!

The house and location could not have been more perfect for our family. The host, Todd, was very accommodating to our needs. He responded to every question in a timely polite manner. The boat launch and dock were fantastic and a 2 minute drive from the house. The Lakes were beautiful and enjoyed them for swimming, fishing and cruising. The house had a well stocked kitchen. The living room area and large dining area was very perfect.The amount and quality of the towels was fantastic. The firepit was great for relaxing and of course for s’mores. It couldn’t have been better for our family!

Great property. Overall a great stay with our family (4 parents, 4 kids ages 3-7, 2 grand parents) with plenty of space (both bedrooms, common areas indoors and outdoor space for our sized group. Access to small community beach was perfect for the kids. There were toys, a water mat, and plenty of beach chairs for non-resident use which made our daily beach trips down the hill even more convenient.
House was reasonably equipped/had the necessities. Communication with the owner was excellent and made the rental process seamless.
We were able to rent a pontoon and had dock access that allowed for a very nice couple days of boating, tubing and wake boarding through the public boat launch at the north end of the lake (10-15 min boat ride back down to the accessible dock).
Walk down the hill to the beach is not overly cumbersome and is not far from the home but would be potentially strenuous for anyone with limitations/elderly.
Only 10-12 mins from an Oleson’s for full grocery, a well stocked local store only a couple miles away and 15 mins from Traverse. All this allowed for us to spend some days disconnected and others with plenty of options of things to do for the family.
The fire pit and grill area was used almost daily/nightly and was perfect for our sized group.
Would recommend for similar groups and would consider again in the future.
Thanks for the stay!
