Had a wonderful stay at the lakefront cabin a couple of months ago. Everything we needed was available, we even walked in to a variety of notes & recommendations left by the owners. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for the meals we cooked there. The location and price cannot be beat. I would recommend this place for any type of trip! I actually ended up saying 'yes' to marrying the man of my dreams on my trip in Traverse, so this cottage will always hold a special place in my heart :) ##### Louise W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brett C.

We stayed here for my best friends bachelorette weekend. Duane was very accommodating and understanding that we had so many girls coming from all over (only two parking spots at the house). The water is really high this year so there's no beach but the sitting on the deck makes you feel like youre on a boat, its a great place for morning coffee! The cottage is a perfect location between Suttons Bay and a very short drive into Traverse City, while still feeling away from it all. ##### Rachel W.

The cottage was very clean and well-kept. Nothing appeared worn or stained or outdated. Cottage had a fresh and vacation-y feel to it. Photos are accurate, however, it seems like the waterfront may have eroded some since pictures were taken, as there wasn’t enough room to use the fire pit as we would have liked during our week - too near the water’s edge to fit chairs. Overall this was a good value and a pleasant stay. ##### Audrey Y. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christie R.

Thoughtful little touches that were so welcoming. There was a basket of snacks when we walked in, the fridge had a pitcher of filtered water and there was ice in the freezer. A fresh sponge in the kitchen and new bar of soap in the bathroom. The kitchen is tight if you have more than one person in there but it was definitely well stocked, even with small appliances. There was a listing of places to eat, shop and see while we were in the area. I have vacationed in this area all my life and this cottage had THE BEST views of the moon I've ever seen. We were graced with bright beautiful views almost every night. ##### Christie R. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenni W.

They give great suggestions on places to eat and things to do if you are new to the area. We also took our own kayaks and put in almost every day. There is a nice garage attached to the house where you can store kayaks, bikes or strollers. This was our 13 month daughters first big vacation and the place was spacious enough for her to have room to play! Overall, we are extremely happy with our stay and look forward to going back. ##### Jenni W.

It is nestled between several full time residential homes. It is very quiet and private, and perfect for a couple (or 2) with the 2 bedroom and 1 bath layout. There is ample living space inside. The kitchen has a lot of cabinet space to store groceries etc. The owners have made several very nice upgrades - AC/Heat mini-split in the main living area, new stove, new clear plexiglass on the deck. The grill was very clean and started first time. And the location is very convenient to get to Suttons Bay or Traverse City + the Shady Lane Market is a short walk. Would reco! ##### D L.

Duane provided all the information we needed ahead of time. The cottage is homey with plenty of room and necessities. When we weren’t out and about we were relaxing on the deck in comfy chairs feet from the water. The only thing you hear is the lapping of the water. We spent 7 nights and still didn’t get to do everything we wanted to. Not because of distance to activities (the cottage is in a central location between TC and Suttons bay) but because we often enjoyed the deck late into the morning and returned to relax by the water early evening. We hope to return to enjoy more the area has to offer and will definitely stay here again. ##### Barb B. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Dan C. May 30, 2019 #### Wine tasting with family My wife and I frequent Traverse City every year to visit wineries and the views. This trip, we took our 10 month old and her parents to take in the sights. This property was perfectly located for everything we needed. Just 15 minutes to downtown TC, 5 minutes from Sutton's Bay, and many wineries. The house was perfectly cleaned and maintained. It was very easy to "check in and check out" with the property owner. The property owner was very swift to respond to any questions and the home provided everything we needed during our stay. The views from the back deck were absolutely amazing. The one drawback we saw with the house, was the lack of lighting. Most homes/ guest homes will have switch lighting so you don't have to walk through a dark room to turn on a lamp. Very minor detail, but something you notice when going to bed/ watching tv late. We would definitely stay in this home again without question. I recommend this to anyone looking to get a property on the water and near everything you need! ##### Dan C.

Sitting on the deck overlooking the lake at all times of the day or night was priceless. My daughter and I both slept beautifully on the beds. Our host was extremely helpful and friendly. Always making improvements to an already perfect place. Asked questions to make sure we were happy with everything. Short trip either way to Suttons Bay or Traverse City, each loaded with cute shops and wonderful dining. The whole area is absolutely beautiful. My daughter and I both agree we’d love to return.
