Beautiful view while sitting in the hot tub and also close to a seasonal road for quiet morning and evening walks. ![Evening View from hot tub](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/272453e0-3bd3-4fcc-86b8-bdf8bccbec7b-1760363166727.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Krista F.

Jul 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had an amazing stay at this house in Cedar! The house was a dream - well-stocked kitchen, beautiful rooms, an idyllic setting. We cooked dinner here with our family of 8 every night and had everything we needed. The house is also centrally located so it’s easy to get anywhere you want - wineries on Traverse City Peninsula, Sleeping Bear Dunes, wonderful beaches, etc. We loved our stay & would return here in a heartbeat! ##### Jane H.
