This was a great location and setup for a quick getaway. The property was comfortable and quiet. Outside of google maps being a little off on the location, it was a great stay. The convenience to Traverse City and other areas of interest was excellent.

Great communication. House was perfect for our weekend getaway with friends. The driveway has a bit of a slope down from the road, so if you plan a winter trip here you may want 4wd. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Home Base For Girls Trip

Had a great stay at Blake's place in Cedar! The house was fantastic and the perfect home base for our girls trip up north. The hot tub was the perfect temp and it got just cold enough at night to enjoy a fire. I highly recommend this location and hope to visit again!

Nice home

Really enjoyed the quiet area. Accommodations suited our family of four so each young adult had a room to sneak away. The outdoor area provided a great hot tub and fire pit that we used during our stay.
