Family vacation

We had an outstanding experience. We were able to come and go as needed. We like that we were able to cook meals when we wanted and had the amenities to do so. Big plus was the fire pit which the family enjoyed almost every night.

A long weekend in Traverse

Our kids and parents stayed in the house while we (my husband and I) attended wedding events in the area for friends. They had a fantastic stay. The house was bigger than we expected and the lot is private. The house was clean with new appliances and fixtures throughout. We would definitely stay here again if we’re back in the area.
