Pleasant stay in Traverse City

Had a great time in Traverse City. The cottage had a beautiful view of Spider Lake, and the home itself was cozy. A well-stocked kitchen was perfect for cooking our Thanksgiving dinner.

2nd time staying at this location and it was great! We lucked out with the weather being in the mid-80's for early October and we were able to enjoy the lake. Great peaceful location and views - a true escape!

Stayed for 3 days with my husband, son and daughter in law, the most peaceful connection of our lives. Pictures do not do this beautiful place justice. It’s absolutely gorgeous, clean and the most beautiful views. Neighbors are friendly So welcoming and the feeling of home away from home…soul cleansing and connection with nature more than ever. Amazing host, Cary Almost Immediately responds to messages, kind and generousWildlife is also big here with deer that walk right up to you,. Fish (bluegill) that seem to crave your attention, loons and ducks every morning with beautiful sunrises that captivate. We will come back here again and HIGHLY recommend. It’s an enjoyable trail like drive to the cottage between the 2 lakes toward the end of the peninsula. Upper and lower deck both gorgeous views. Much enjoyed the dock. Main bedroom bed is quite firm so if you need softer be prepared. This property, the host and surrounding community is 10/10 plus. The Morgan’s will return. Much love.
