Great Up North Escape

We had a terrific time at the property. Our group enjoyed all of the surrounding activities during the day and enjoyed games, a campfire and great conversations on the deck in the evening. We would highly recommend the property and may consider it for the next time we book Up North.

Great Girls Trip Location

We had a group of 10 girls stay for a long weekend getaway. It was the perfect location nearby Mawby, Suttons Bay Ciders, and more. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and lots of seating areas for a large group. It’s also so nice that you can walk down to the water or just enjoy the view from the house. Highly recommend this home for any ‘up north’ trips!

Great Family Getaway

This 5-bedroom property was ideal for our family with 4 adult children. The location was close to lots of Leelenau towns for shopping and dining, lakes for boating, and golf courses. We took advantage of all the amenities at the house, including the outdoor grill, outdoor fire pit, hot tub and beach area with kayaks (across the road). The view and weather were both lovely which made for a fabulous family vacation!

Great home for all

We were 5 exhausted parents who needed a place to rest and recharge. We all had incredibly comfortable rooms which was amazing. The home had everything we needed, and the sustainability mindset of the owners was very much appreciated. The hot tub was warm and enjoyed with a glass of wine! The views of the northern lights was incredible as well. An amazing home in an amazing location!

Location and property were great. Several beds had sand in them. Not enough towels. Floors were dirty. Water pressure was poor. Fan is master was not working correctly. Master bedroom needs black out shades - east exposure.

Great house, not far from activities and sights

Our stay turned out great. We caught the fall foliage at its peak when we arrived and made the most of the unseasonably warm late October weather. The house's location was nice, just across the road (M22) that runs along Lake Michigan. It's up a long driveway from the road. Normally, I look for houses right on lakes. This house broke the tradition, but it worked out OK. Besides having to cross a somewhat busy M22 and step over a guardrail to get to the lake, the water level was low, making the shoreline thick mud. Consequently, we couldn't use the available kayaks. Bad luck. The house was very nice and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the open and combined great room/dining area/kitchen. It allowed all 9 of us to hang out together, eat, play games, and watch football. The beds and pillows were comfy and having so many bathrooms and showers was great. Our daughter and son-in-law made good use of the hot tub, and we all gathered around the fire pit on the balcony looking toward Lake Michigan. None of the sights we wanted to see were more than half an hour or so away. We went to the lighthouse; hiked at Sleeping Bear Dunes; biked the trail that parallels the lake; explored Fishtown/Leland, Suttons Bay, and Traverse City; sampled lots of cherry products; and enjoyed local microbreweries. Hop Lot for beer was great as was the Suttons Bay Ciders. The host was great and resolved one minor issue quickly. All in all, we had a great time!

Beautiful home with a perfect amount of space for 9 of us, very clean and very well-maintained. Perfect location between Traverse City and Suttons Bay, near countless wineries, cideries and restaurants. Loved having coffee in the morning on the front deck with a glimpse of the bay through the trees and birds singing, the kids (teens) enjoyed kayaking, and we all enjoyed time around the firepit in the evenings. Excellent home to reconnect with family and nature.

Our stay was great! The kitchen was well stocked with the necessities for cooking. The decks were great and the rooms were very spacious. Our kids had a great time and we were all very comfortable. The home was gorgeous but there was a lot of stairs - so not for people with limited mobility. The location was perfect for our weekend activities!

The house was absolutely beautiful and was perfect for our family! Very well equipped for both adults who love to cook, and kids who love to play games. While we could watch a beautiful sunrise from our deck and bedroom, I was disappointed we had to cross a sometimes busy highway to get to the lake. So we never took the kids there or used the kayaks and things you had. But would stay and recommend this house if you love the wineries, and appreciate luxury living! (Only thing I recommend is changing that coffee maker!) Thank you for making our family vacation so special!

Very family friendly place. 2 bedrooms at ground floor. 1 bedroom on main floor, and 2 bedrooms on top floor. Great for 1, 5, and 7 yo. Diversity of games/toys and hiding places for the kids. High chair and pack and play were present. Kitchen well-equipped (except missing drying rack). Deck overlooked the lake which was beautiful. Beach is across a busy highway, but easy to access with kayaks available. Would stay there again for a large get together.

The house was excellent and had everything that one would need during a stay. The floor to ceiling windows throughout the main floor offered beautiful views of the water. Great to wake up to gorgeous sunrises each day. The location is perfect allowing one to explore all the area has to offer from a central location.
