We had an amazing girls’ weekend in Traverse City, and this house was the perfect place for our getaway! The house was excellent, and you couldn’t ask for a better location right on the bay. It was the perfect setting for a weekend of laughs, memories, and spending time with a wonderful group of ladies. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! We would definitely recommend this home and would love to come back again. Thank you for helping make our girls’ weekend so special! 🥂

We stayed while in Michigan for a family wedding and this property was perfect to accommodate all people in our group! Very spacious, the kiddos loved the water and the direct access! The Seagulls and ducks were an added bonus at the dock! This location was perfect and we will definitely be back!

The Blue Shores house was the perfect place to stay for our group of 10. The view was absolutely spectacular, and we had everything we could possibly need. We were very content to stay put at the house and enjoy the view, grilling, swimming and boating. Ben and Jenna are wonderful and attentive hosts, and we would love to come back and stay very soon!

The house was a terrific, clean place for our extended family vacation together with beautiful views right on the water. Lots of room in the house to spread out with great amenities and we enjoyed spending time together on the large deck overlooking the lake. Great location whether you want to head to Traverse City or up the peninsula to Suttons Bay or further. There was beach access during our stay and we enjoyed swimming and using a SUP and kayak that we brought with us. House is also located close to TART trail for bike riding.

Great location, beautiful views, and well equiped, this property has it all! The house was a generous size and our group had more than enough room. It is well located for trips into Traverse City as well as exploring the Leelanau Peninsula. Our kids loved the sunrise and early morning duck visits on the beach. The kitchen had a good selection of cookware to prepare meals and it was handy having a washer/dryer for midweek laundry. Our host communicated well and we really enjoyed our trip!

Our extended family of 10 stayed in this beautiful lakeside home last week. The views of Lake Michigan are stunning. The house layout worked out so well for us with there being 2 master suites. The amenities in the home were amazing with 3 family room areas- one on each floor, 5 full baths, a wine room, sauna & outdoor sitting area that comfortably seats 10 around a fire pit. Also, this is the best stocked house we have ever stayed in in terms of the kitchen & bathrooms. The hosts are very responsive and helpful. We actually booked a week for next summer before we even left! Highly recommend!

Great communication from the hosts. Answered all question before and during the stay quickly. Highly suggest guests to see what food and items are there already to avoid over buying. Tom’s Market is very close and has everything. House was amazing and better than I imagined. Clean, plenty of room. I cannot say enough good things. Great for family vacations. Thank you.

This property is absolutely amazing. The location is incredible. Close to everything AND right on the water with beautiful views from every room. Ben and Jenna are stellar hosts, communication was easy, they responded very quickly to each of my questions, the house was sparkling clean when we arrived and there were so many thoughtful touches (extra towels, well set up kitchen laundry room, extra toothbrushes, etc, etc.) that all helped to make our stay so comfortable and easy. We were in TC for a wedding, lots of friends and family stopped by to say hello during the weekend and ALL were so impressed with this property. We stayed for 5 nights and loved being in this house. It felt less like a "rental property" and more like we borrowed a friend's incredible waterfront home. Thank you Ben & Jenna!
