Spacious, comfortable, tucked away home in a prime location in Leelanau County. The hosts thought of everything to make our stay feel like home. They were excellent communicators throughout our stay resolving any minor glitch in a timely manner. We would highly recommend this rental.
House was wonderful. Fit our family perfectly. House is well stocked with everything you would need. Our host was perfect. Any communication was responded comfortably quick. Suggestions for restaurant's were satisfactory.If we visit again, definitely will contact.our host.
While our stay was short it was also equally as sweet. We travel for work and found this beautiful VRBO nestled in the woods, making our trip up north like a mini vacation.
Absolute 10 out of 10. Such a wonderful location. Everything you could have needed was provided. The house was so clean and well kept. We absolutely will be staying again.
My family loved staying here! The location could not be more perfect. We went to the dunes, the beach, the Leelanau Peninsula, and Traverse City. The house itself had a secluded feel (we loved watching the deer in the yard each evening) while still being close to everything. We had everything we needed and all slept great. Our host was wonderful. I highly recommend!
One of the best places to stay in Northern Michigan/ Sleeping Bear Dunes area. Tricia was a great host and made our stay comfortable and any issues we had she was super responsive. Great kitchen with lots of gadgets to cook great meals with. Beds were comfortable and the wood fired stove made for cozy mornings in. Location is great. Will definitely be coming back!
This is a nice family getaway property. It has a wonderful outdoor area with a fire pit & plenty of firewood. We used it almost every night during our 2-week stay! We also enjoyed watching the deer in the yard on many mornings. You have everything you need for your stay, although for us, there was too much (kitchen & bath cabinets were packed full, as well as book shelves, etc.). For a short stay, this might be okay for some, but for us it was not ideal. As a host, Tricia is very accessible & responsive.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The property was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described-if not better. The attention to detail made the space feel luxurious.The location was perfect; close enough to everything we wanted to do, yet peaceful and private enough to truly relax. We especially loved the grill and fire pit with access to tons of firewood. Communication with the host was seamless. Tricia was friendly, and provided great local tips that made our stay even more special.We highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an stress-free, memorable getaway!
We had a great stay here! Tricia’s spot was beautiful, comfortable and cozy. Had every amenity we could ask for. We can’t wait to hopefully return soon!
My family loved our stay at this home for a couple nights while exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes. Very private setting, and the kids loved looking for frogs and fish in the koi pond. Thanks for a great stay, would highly recommend!
Just perfect for location. Just perfect for relaxation peace and quiet. Did not want to leave….
