Aug 10, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Stunning Property We (family of four) journeyed from the greater Detroit area to the west coast for the Sleeping Bear Dunes and related nature hikes. We stayed beginning of August 2024 for two nights. This house was designed with taste! The interior and exterior are exactly as pictured. The kitchen was well stocked, plenty of towels, spare bedding, washer and dryer in working order, detergents and dish soaps and sponges provided, even outdoor grilling tools were available (like skewers for fire-pit-marshmallow-roasting adventures). Communication with the host was EXCELLENT. Very reasonable, respectful, approachable; extremely responsive. Honestly it was an excellent stay. My only complaint is that the house was not as clean as you would expect. It appeared as if the carpets were not vacuumed, the stove still had fingerprints on the buttons (“bake” and temperature buttons; proving that it was not cleaned from the previous tenants), I wasn’t confident in the toilet’s cleanliness. Makes you wonder if they washed the sheets or simply re-made the bed? You just want the confidence to know you’re walking into a sanitized and cleaned stay; this house was surface cleaned and that’s all. We didn’t spend a whole lot of time in the house so the cleanliness issue didn’t overly subtract from our having enjoyed our stay; however, had we come in colder months or caught bad weather, I wouldn’t have been thrilled. If they cleaned it thoroughly, this place is a dream!! ##### Tim S. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea F.

The setting is beautiful and peaceful and the cottage is cozy and well equipped. If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing, dog friendly getaway that is close to all that Leelanau County and Traverse City have to offer then this is the spot for you! We can’t wait to come back! ##### Vicki N. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison W.
