30th Anniversary stay

My husband and I had a fabulous stay at the House on High Lake. The cabin was perfect for the two of us. It is also in a great location, allowing us to see a variety of sites without driving too far. Mike and Maureen were very nice and were very helpful when a minor issue came up with the TV. We would definitely stay there again!

Great quiet getaway spot!

My husband and I stayed here & had a great time! It’s a nice and quiet location but conveniently located near everything in TC. We enjoyed coffee on the deck on the lake which was super nice. We also took the canoe out one night and the lake was so beautiful & serene. The house was clean & had everything we needed :)

Great Place to Stay

Five nights. Cabin was clean and comfortable. Liked that it was on a quiet lake away from the business in town. Loved hearing and seeing the loons calling. Enjoyed some paddling on the lake and sitting on the dock. Nearby we enjoyed Peegeo's and ThatsaPizza. Had a great fresh pie from Groleau's Market. Very satisfied.

Relaxing Little Hideaway

This cabin is great for any couple looking to get away. It had all the essentials for our weekend trip to see Sleeping Bear Dunes. You’re still close enough to the downtown core of Traverse City that going to the beach, going out to eat (we recommend Mama Lu’s for some amazing street tacos), or going shopping is no burden. However, you’re also far enough back that at the cabin you can truly relax, enjoy nature, and appreciate the amazing lake view. Mike & Maureen are great hosts, and for our next trips out this way we will try and book this stay again!
