Weekend soccer tournament
We stayed in Traverse City for a soccer tournament. This house was great for what we needed. Plenty of rooms/beds, comfortable, great view! Kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook just be aware there is nothing extra such as salt/pepper, only one paper towel roll, one roll of toilet paper, one garbage bag. So you will need to bring extras for your stay. But that wasn’t a big deal for us. Overall we would stay here again

I believe you need to fire your cleaning company. The kitchen floor was not clean, the refrigerator was filthy and the cobwebs on the entrance door looks like they haven't been cleaned off in a while. Some bath towels left for us had strings hanging down on them. MOST important the showers required slip free stickers applied to the floor. We were slipping all over the shower. Very dangerous.

Lovely Long Lake
This was our first time renting through VRBO and a property manager. We were nervous about the check in process, but it the end it was no big deal. This rental was very clean, in a great location right on Long Lake, and close to TC. There are several steps down to the water, there isn’t a beach, but there is a dock. In the listing picture it shows a row boat that was no where to be seen. The reason for 4 stars was because the bed in the main bedroom was VERY uncomfortable. It really needs a new one. We would stay here again.

The location was great. We were right on the lake and had beautiful view of the lake. It was nice and quiet. The house itself is in need of updates. The bathrooms looked updated. The water pressure was terrible. The carpet that was down looked worn and were remnants. There was plenty of sleeping space. The mattresses could of been a little better quality. We rented a boat, however the dock wasn’t equipped for the boat to tie up. It would of been nice if there were options for water activity such as kayaks. There was a row boat but it looked very old. Overall, we had a great stay.

Family Vacation
We had a great time on our family vacation at this rental! The lake is beautiful and the house is in a great location. My only complaint would be the cleanliness of the property. Furniture, floors and windows were pretty dirty. We also found dishes on top of the fridge as well as cans under the couch from the previous renters so I am not sure how well it was cleaned for our stay... But overall we had a great time together!

Great getaway
The property was clean and the location was great. There was great access to attractions in and around Traverse City. The weather changed our daily plans a couple of times, but we were able to do all the things we wanted to do by adjusting our schedule to fit the weather. A great place to relax and enjoy a vacation!
