Excellent Stay, but Exterior Needs a Refresh

We had a wonderful stay at the VRBO house in Traverse City. The home was clean, well-kept, and felt very welcoming. The owner’s communication was excellent, and their friendliness made our experience even better. The house perfectly suited the purpose of our visit, and we were overall very pleased. That said, we did notice that the landscaping around the property, both in the front and back, didn’t quite match the photos on the listing. The trees and plants appear to be overgrown, making the house difficult to see from the road, and a couple of trees are nearly blocking the driveway. While this didn’t impact our stay inside the home, it would be great to see the exterior tidied up to reflect the well-maintained appearance shown in the photos.

Great Girls Weekend

This was a perfect house for three high school girlfriends. Each each had our own bedroom and there was plenty of space. The kitchen was huge and well stocked. The communication with Caroline was outstanding. Loved the house! The yard needs some attention such as weeding and trimming. Overall we had a great experience and highly recommend this rental.

Wedding Stay

We stayed at this beautiful home for a week in July to attend my sisters wedding. The accommodations were perfect for us. The little gardens were an added pleasure. We enjoyed a quiet evening out back with a fire one night and it was so pleasant. Very quiet neighborhood and clean, clean home. Thank you.

Quiet Place in the Hills

This is a really nice house with good furnishings and nice appliances. It's in a quiet neighborhood and dark outside at night. It's a good location to most everything. It is fairly well stocked with about everything you would need. The only downsides are somewhat weak shower heads and no TV. But I would stay here again. We really liked the house and the owner.

A Clean Stay

Caroline’s home was the perfect spot for our up north vacation! We were extremely satisfied with our stay. Communication with Caroline was a breeze and we were even able to check in a couple hours early. The cleanliness of this property might be the best I’ve ever experienced through my years of dealing with vacation rentals. This place is SPOTLESS. Just a short drive to Lake Leelaneu, Sutton’s Bay, or Traverse City. A good sized backyard for cornhole and yard games plus some nice patio furniture and a gas fireplace table. My one and only wish for this property is an actual bonfire pit but hey, beggars can’t be choosers.
