Amazing girls get away, weekend!

I came up for a girl’s trip to do wine tasting, this place has an ideal location to many wineries, Tim helped us arrange a private driver for the day! Home was perfect with plenty of space for the 8 of us to not feel crowded, and the well stocked kitchen was a huge plus! We will be staying again!

Autumn in Taverse City

Four generations of family drove up for a wedding. Our host family made things very easy for us. The home we stayed in was wonderful, calm scenic, and everything we hoped it would be. We will be returning.

Girls Weekend Away

We stayed at this property for a girls' weekend. There were 12 adults, and it is an extremely spacious home. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably and spend time together. The kitchen, dining room, and living room were all open and spacious. We spent a lot of time hanging out there. The hot tub and fire pit outside were a great addition. We highly recommend this property and had a great time. We would stay here again with a group this size.

Great hosts, great home, amazing location, perfect MI getaway spot!

Beautiful home, incredibly close to Long Lake, Lake Michigan, wineries, minutes away from Traverse City downtown area, sitting on 9 acres, providing you with plenty to explore around it! My wife and I had a blast, and definitely will be coming back. Also, Tim has been a great host, extremely helpful and prompt to respond and address any of our questions. Thank you again!

Surprise birthday celebration

We booked the house for 12 adults to have a surprise birthday celebration for my sister.. The house was amazing, big and beautiful. We loved walking out in the garden and picking what was ripe. The fire pit was great to enjoy the brisk cool nights. The location was perfect as it was enough out of town for privacy but close enough to to town for pickup for a local wine touring company. If we are ever in the area again we will for sure boom this house!

Great location! Perfect for large families.

Excellent location just outside of Traverse City. Perfect area to relax and enjoy the outdoors, while still close enough to all of the activities. In all honesty, I don’t believe the pictures do it justice in regards to all of the amenities provided for larger groups. Kids enjoyed the basement with games, while the adults could relax by the fire pit. Only real issue was shower coordination for 11 people with only two full bathrooms. Thankfully there is a 1/2 bath in the corner of the laundry room. The communication with the hosts was easy, as any issues or questions were resolved/answered promptly. Highly recommend!

Great Wine Weekend Getaway

We had such a great time at this property! There was plenty of space for our group of ten. The house is very open and spacious. The kitchen had a lovely open concept kitchen with tons of seating, with a peninsula and a giant table. We enjoyed the large sectional couch in the living room as well. The bedrooms were huge, with comfortable beds. We were able to arrange a wine tour company to pick us up right from the property. Tim was amazing and very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Great time

We had a wonderful weekend at this property! Everything was just as expected. We enjoyed the fire pit a lot and had plenty of seating inside the house and out for our party of 8. The only suggestions I would have is there was only one roll of toilet paper(not full rolls) per bathroom so we ended up having to run out and get more and there were also not enough towels for every person. Not a big deal at all, but just wanted to make a suggestion. Thanks for the great stay!
