This was a great place to stay on our visit to the area and Sleeping Bear Dunes. While still an hour away from the dunes all the space in between and near by provided all that we needed, traverse city, pie, wine, beaches. The place was clean, well laid out, stocked, and very easy to check in to, hosts were very helpful and kind.

We had so much fun at the little house, they had sleds we could use and it was nice to just hangout. My girls loved the games that were provided to use during our stay and the cows were an added bonus. Also, communication was great!

Cozy and quiet

It was a great place to stay. Very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed seeing the cows each morning. It’s a country setting but very close to all we needed including Meijer and Grand Traverse Resort. A clean place where we could sleep and cook our own meals and relax in between while including our dog in the stay.

A beautiful place in the country, very comfortable and peaceful. Perfect location for my brother and I. Short trip to Traverse City. Went to Charlevoix and Petoskey. Casino is 5 minutes away. If you're looking a place away from the noise, this is it. Love the wood work and the care you put into your place.

An Adorable Home in a Great Area

This little house is situated in the middle of the country but just minutes from all kinds of fun. It was so quiet there - we slept so well. The bed was comfortable and the place was so clean. We were very impressed by the workmanship in the house and especially the cleanliness. Cara was a great communicator and was very welcoming as well.

We love everything about this idyllic little home that's just a short distance from Traverse City. It's so clean, well-appointed, quiet and comfortable. Best of all, Kara and Eric are friendly, welcoming hosts to us and our lovable 98-pound dog, Dilly. We know that this is the place we will always try to book!

This was the perfect spot for us and our dogs. It was a relaxing & comfortable place to come back to after our adventures each day. We loved being greeted by the cows every morning.

My husband, my son, our Maltipoo and myself enjoyed the rental house. Everything we needed was supplied by the owner. It was a great spot to relax after going to Traverse City and Elk Rapids. My son really enjoyed having the large loft with foosball table to himself. Communication with the owner was excellent.
