Sweet little cabin next to a creek and an easy walk to the beach. Perfect place to explore Traverse City, Big Bear Dunes and attend performances at Interlochen School of the Arts. The hosts thought of everything to make you feel at home, comfortable beds, attractive spaces indoors and out to hang out and a well-equipped kitchen.

Very great location very close to Traverse City. I think they were very great to mention that it is on the main road. If my kids are a little bit younger, probably a little bit too close, but my oldest really loved being near the stream seeing all the fish… they loved the hot tub. They loved the Fire pit. It was great to be a quick drive into Traverse City. Very clean and cute .

Thanks Casey, excited to hear that you had such an amazing time staying with us, loved the cottage, property, amenities, and location! As you mentioned, one trade off to that great location by the beach is that we are located off the main road. We try to still make it as secluded as possible with trees and the 8ft tall privacy fence, leaving only the driveway open. Glad to hear that it didn't change you having an awesome time staying with us! And thanks leaving the place so clean, even starting laundry, much appreciated. Loved hosting you and hope to have you back :)

Tranquil winter stay

My husband and I came for almost a week, the property is lovely and clean. Kitchen had all we needed and the property is definitely well-thought out. Plenty of towels for the hot tub, basic necessities and owners are very responsive. Only downside is the street noise is noticeable but we just played music which covered it easily.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2020
Jennifer I'm to hear that you had a great stay with us. The cottage is on a main drag, and is busier during peak summer months, but that's why most guests love the location of our cottages. You still get a sense of Northern Michigan nature, but you're in the heart of the city. Making it close to everything you're looking for. We make no secret of the location, even including a picture of the road that leads directly to the beach from the end of the driveway and marking the location of the home on the map as the exact location. Which is right by the State Campground and nearly all the hotels in the area. So I'm disappointed that you were not aware of that. I appreciate your feedback though and will work harder to make sure future guests understand that the location does have minor trade offs with traffic, especially during the summer. Hope you have a great rest of your summer and thanks again for the feedback, we'll use this to improve the stay expectations for all future guests. Sincerely, Lauren

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Klein

Host profile image
Hi, we're your hosts Lauren & Tom!

We're a married couple who shares a love for all things hosting, our two pups, and new adventures. After years of visiting our favorite place, we decided to move from Grand Rapids to Traverse City in the pursuit of happiness. Days were filled with working too many hours and spending too much time apart, so we packed up and began our new journey.

As a team, we started from managing one rental home to owning our own and could not be more grateful for the opportunity to share our love of hosting with our guests.

We believe that no matter whats going on in life, its important to take time away, recharge, find new adventures, and create fond memories. Our mission is to provide the best possible stay in hopes that you and your loved ones are able to experience all of this and more.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Lauren & Tom

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home after a long search, to find a unique space that embodies what we love so much about Northern Michigan. While still being in a great location, central to anything someone would want to do in the Traverse City area.

Nature is always one of the most important things we look for in a home, as we're definitely outdoors people. The balance of finding that with still being centrally located isn't easy. When we came across this cozy cottage, we just know that this was the one, nature in the city!

It truly represents Northern Michigan in any season, but you're still so close to anything else that you'd want to do. :)

What makes this property unique

Mitchell Creek is absolutely what sold us on this home. It's amazing that you're next the State Park beach, the Tart Trail, and right in town. However the scenery reflects the secluded feel of Northern Michigan.

We stayed in the home for 6 months in the Fall of 2018 to the Spring of 2019 while we remodeled it. Watching the wildlife throughout the different seasons was unreal, we couldn't believe the variety of wildlife on the property, while still being in the city. From the Salmon running up the creek in the fall, to the Steelhead in the Spring, Mallard ducks mating, a northern mink fishing after a heavy rain, or the deer that would come almost right up to the window! It's a very special place, and you never know what you might see!
