We stayed here for my birthday weekend with our 2 pups and found it difficult to want to leave. We enjoyed the massage chairs, the sauna, the cold plunge, and the hot tub. The lighting in the backyard at nighttime was so relaxing and truly felt like our own oasis away from the world. What stood out the most is a big storm rolled through the first night we were there and a bunch of branches fell off the trees, disconnecting a strand of lights and shattering them. I contacted them the next morning to let them know what happened and less than 2 hours later they were there fixing the strand and cleaning the glass. Lisa was absolutely delightful and we loved how on top of things her and Shawne were during the stay. We absolutely cannot wait to stay here and at their other locations again in the future.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! 😊 We're thrilled that you enjoyed the spa amenities, peaceful backyard atmosphere, and that TC Bungalow felt like your own private oasis for the weekend. 🛁🔥❄️✨ We especially appreciate you letting us know about the storm damage right away. We're fortunate to have an amazing local team, and Lisa was happy to get everything cleaned up and restored so you could get right back to relaxing. 🌳💪 It was truly a pleasure hosting you, your pups, and your birthday getaway. We can't wait to welcome you back to TC Bungalow or one of our other Adventure North Vacation Rentals homes in the future! 🐾🏡😎

Hosted by Adventure North Vacation Rentals – Dan & Lisa Brady, Owner/Hosts

Welcome! We’re Dan and Lisa Brady, lifelong Traverse City locals with a passion for sharing the beauty and adventure of northern Michigan with guests from near and far. Adventure North Vacation Rentals is a true family-run operation that we manage personally with the help of Dan’s sister, Shawne, as well as Lisa’s parents and brother, Andy. Together, we are dedicated to warm hospitality, quick communication, and creating memorable stays that bring people together.

We specialize in large, fun, friend-and-family retreat lodges, with four unique lodge properties designed for groups seeking space, comfort, and unforgettable experiences. In addition to our lodges, we also offer one cozy downtown home and one charming lakefront cottage, giving guests a variety of ways to enjoy the Traverse City area. While our collection is small, it is intentionally curated—and we manage each home ourselves to ensure exceptional quality and personal care.

Dan owns and operates Dan Brady Painting, and Lisa—an Army Veteran—focuses full-time on coordinating guest experience and operations to ensure every stay is seamless and special.

For even more northern Michigan adventure, we also offer unique rentals including our Minnie Winnie RV, Tesla Cybertruck, and Jeep Gladiator, perfect for exploring the region in style.

Your Adventure North vacation awaits! We look forward to welcoming you.
