Perfect Getaway - 5 min walk to beach, Tart trail, boat/kayak launch
Get ready to feel right at home the next time you visit Northwestern Michigan. Perfectly located, our property is (1) block from East Bay's beaches, boat launches, marinas, boat rentals, restaurants and more. We are also just (3) blocks to the Tart and Leelanau Trails, with bike access to Traverse City (2 miles), its theaters, Wineries, Breweries, Farmers Market and other amenities. The trails also provide bike access to Suttons Bay (15 miles), and even to Sleeping Bear Dunes (22 miles). Located on a quiet residential street tucked away in a neighborhood oasis just one block off M22, there is no better location for enjoying all the area has to offer with ease next time you find yourself headed Up North.. Note re Furniture- very plush and comfy, made to sink back and relax. Not ideal for guests who desire hard surfaces that are easy to get up from. Guests with mobility limitations would lbe most comfortable on Pottery Barn loveseat in living area or a dining room chair with arms to help tthem sit down and stand up. Most people love the comfiness but it doesn’t suit everyones needs.

We were in town for a family wedding. House was perfect!! Front deck was amazing to relax. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked w pots, pans and spices!!! Just a great experience!!
This home was beautiful, well equipped, and comfortable. The owner was attentive to us and answered our questions. We would definitely stay here again.
We chose this location based on how close it was to our daughter’s wedding venue and to downtown. The house is very clean and quiet and provided us with a welcomed retrieve from the craziness of a wedding. The hostess was very accessible and incredibly easy to work with.
We had such a nice stay here. Judy was incredibly responsive and the home was perfect for our weekend in northern Michigan. Judy was very nice too. We really hope to come back!!
We were very impressed with the house and Judy. It was clean, cozy, and stocked with everything. Judy checked in to make sure we were happy. Great place to stay for a trip to Traverse City.
We had a marvelous time. Judy our host was very welcoming, the property was clean, located near all the points of interest, and made a great home away from home.

Thank you Jeff! I appreciate your leaving the house in such great shape!
On a very quiet street, 10 minutes from downtown TC, but walking distance to shore, trails & several great restaurants.
Cvery well-stocked & clean house, nice neighbors & very responsive host!
We had a really pleasant stay. The house was conveniently located, clean, and well appointed. There are several good restaurants and an ice cream shop nearby. If you want to cook, you will find everything you need in this kitchen. We had very enjoyable visit.
Fantastic, clean and everything was provided for us. Great location just outside of Traverse. Walking distance to a few restaurants and ice cream shop. Could not have asked for a better home
This home was conveniently located for all of the things that we wanted to do and see in Traverse City. Thanks for the fun packed weekend with friends!
Judy's place was perfect for the six of us - we were three sets of adult couples. Couldn't have asked for a more convenient, comfortable stay. Judy herself was incredibly helpful with accommodations and location recommendations (food, events, area). The beds were comfortable, kitchen roomy, ample bathrooms, and plenty of space to spread out. Loved the walkable area - only just a few easy minutes to an awesome public beach. Would stay here again in a heartbeat - thanks Judy!
We stayed at this property for a long weekend while in town for a wedding. Host was very accommodating, especially when she learned we had a young toddler with us. Easy to communicate with and made the check in/out process a breeze. Plenty of linens/towels, basic pantry items, dishes, etc to make your stay comfortable. Just a few minutes from a lovely beach park.
Great location! Lots of Restaurants and things to do at our fingertips! The marina and beach across the street was a perfect evening watching the sunset and sail boats. House was also well stocked with everything we needed! We also enjoyed the front porch for our morning coffee! We will be back!

We spent an enjoyable long weekend with our adult children, the deck makes a nice gathering place. The kitchen was well appointed with cookware/appliances, we were able to fix all our meals, relax and enjoy our family. We had one minor issue, but the host was very responsive, and it was addressed quickly and efficiently.

Thank you for sharing your review of Perfect Getaway and for staying with us. I am happy your family enjoyed your time together! While we strive to earn a 5 star review it isn’t always possible due to unexpected events. I agree it was not a five star experience for your family. Being cognizant of that resulted in my reaching out to ask what you felt I could do to make up for the only issue that ever occurred during a guest stay, to make things right and that I would agree to whatever you felt was fair. After discussing it with your husband and family you responded that the value expected was met and that you felt no need for any adjustment to our rates. I was relieved you were happy with your experience and what you paid even with an issue we needed to address. I also payout comment that it is a beautiful home. I think most people would have taken advantage of my offer and want to thank you for your understanding and kindness. I do agree we did not earn our 5 star goal and only wish I had been able to do something to raise your experience to our standard. The piece of furniture causing the issue has been removed and a new, very high quality piece has replaced it.
Great location in a quiet neighborhood near many restaurants and amenities. Judy the property manager was great to work with and responded immediately to all inquiries. House was very clean and well appointed for a comfortable stay. Location was very close to Traverse and a short drive to Suttons Bay. A great time. Thank you!!

Thanks so much Chris. I really appreciate the review and the care you took to leave the house as requested. You were also a 5 star guest.
Property is well equipped and well kept. Judy was super easy to communicate with. Beds are comfy all items are first class, even the towels. We walked to a sailboat cruise and eblikes are close by to ride the Leelanau trail. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Judy.

In the middle of a hectic vacation locale, you can find peace and quiet at this VRBO. Having breakfast on the front deck together was a great way to start the day. It was like being at home. Any type of cookware was available, and the hostess went to extra lengths in welcoming us. There was plenty of room for our party of six adults. We had a wonderful weekend in TC.
This house was the perfect place for our family of 6. Close to several great restaurants, an ice cream place, the bike trail and the lakeshore. Yet it was tucked away just enough for privacy and quiet. Judy, the owner, was especially wonderful to deal with. We were welcomed to the house with a bottle of wine and plenty of waffle mix for breakfast. This was so nice after a long day of driving! We would definitely stay here again!
This home is exactly as advertised. Very close to all that Traverse City and the surrounding area has to offer. It was a perfect home base for my family to enjoy a long weekend in beautiful "up north" Michigan. Jane was very prompt in her communication and was available to any help we needed. Bed were comfortable and many thoughtful touches were provided. Thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful home!

Short Vacation with our children and their families
We were very pleased with the accommodations and the accuracy of the information provided. Judy was very helpful and quick in answering any questions we had. Judy provides everything you need and more. The location was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the deck. A quick walk to the beach or to get ice cream was a lovely way to spend each day. And a lake to fish and/kayak was nearby also. We are ready to plan another trip!
