The owners were so accommodating and the house was in perfect condition, supplied with necessities and amenities.
Great location to the Old Mission peninsula wineries and restaurants. Look forward to a return!
The cottage is perfectly located on the shores of East Grand Traverse Bay - right out the door. The cottage was very tastefully decorated and the furniture is very comfortable - as was the bed. Jo and Kurt are terrific hosts.
