It was great! The rooms were comfortable, everyone was able to sleep well, the kitchen was well stocked of utensils, and the outdoor space is perfect. There were some dead bugs near some beds but was sort of expected being out in the woods. The drive to traverse city was pretty easy and the house was in a lovely secluded (but not too secluded part of Thompsonville.) we all had a great time! ##### Emma F.

The cottage was the perfect location for an up north trip. We tried to fish in the river and went charter fishing out of Traverse city. We did notice a the railing down the steps to the dock was lose, as well as the dock being partly off the foundation. The cornhole boards were also damaged before we arrived. ##### Nick M.

Everything was smooth and easy, and we were pleasantly surprised to find the basketball hoop upon arrival. The stair to the river were nice, although the means to actually get into the river were a little dicey. That platform on the bottom seemed in need of repair, and we weren't comfortable using it much.....seemed like it was read to go into the river. We booked this place with that as a key feature, as one of the guys in our group was a little older and not able to climb in and out of the river without some help. Besides that river access challenge, everything was great. Cool house, deck, fire pit, and everything was as-promised from the descriptions, if not better than described! Thanks for hosting our group at your place.....we had an excellent time! ##### Dustin P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve M.

You won't get bored here even if you just stay at the house for days! It was bit farther from Traverse City and Sleeping Bear than expected, but Traverse City and Sleeping Bear are farther apart than I realized and is in the Middle of them all. It is closes to Crystal Mountain Resort which gives good access to Golf Courses and a gas station with a great pizza place next door. There were several other places nearby I would have liked to visit but did not have time for. ##### eric g. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katrina M.

Wonderful accommodation; nicely updated with a quiet wooded setting. The roads to access the cabin winds about a bit; but my navigation took us right there in the dark. I can't think of anything It needed. Kitchen set up had everything we needed for meals in. Close to Crystal for skiing, Sleeping Bear Dunes for hiking, plenty of Lake Michigan beaches close by. Less than 5 minutes to Geno's for good food and fun. We had some snow overnight and were pleased to see the road and driveway nicely plowed when we returned from skiing. Definitely recommend! ##### Katrina M. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason B., Brighton, MI Aug 5, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Attentive Owner Saved the Day When first getting into the house we found the water to be shut off as the previous renters damaged a shower on/off valve. With quick communication with the owner and smart thinking the shower was fixed and water restored. The owner was willing to drive 4 hours to fix it, but ended up getting a friend to fix it. Big shout out to Ryan at Betsie River Canoe for helping out. Great kayaking on the river with river access in the backyard ##### Jason B.
