Everything was great-except all the cob webs, assuming the mgmnt co just didn't come and do a once over before we checked in and maybe their wasn't renters for awhile? Everything else was clean, but the cob webs on inside and out were crazy!The place was perfect for our families with a 7 mos old up to a 4year old and 7 adults! loved the quiet, calm, warm lake with the kayaks, frogs, turtles and beauty! The beds weren't very comfy but hey, everyone has their own preferences on that.
The layout of the house worked well for our family...adults upstairs, kids downstairs, grandparents in the little house.
There were fishing rods, a paddle board, a kayak, a canoe and a paddle boat for us to use. There is no air conditioning and the bedrooms in the little house are really little. It's within a short distance from sleeping bear dunes, Traverse City and Glen Haven.

This is a great place for a relaxing getaway. Stayed here with a group of ladies for an adult soccer tournament in Traverse City. The big house is very spacious and the small house is a bit more cozy, but it worked great for us. No AC but there are plenty of windows, and several fans were provided which kept us comfortable. The kitchens were well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals for a large group. We spent a good amount of time on the lake - there was a paddle board, paddle boat, and kayak available for us to use. We also brought our own tubes for relaxing on the water, which was very clear and calm. There is a cute little town a short walk away (no sidewalk but the street was not very busy) that had a grocery store, restaurant, brewery, and coffee shop.
