Amazing, Well Supplied and Cozy Home
This was the best rental home I've ever booked. The house was cozy, very clean, and fully stocked with so many extras. The property owners were super friendly and communicated very well the entire process. The website was super intuitive and informative giving us clear directions and information about the home, the tv, the wifi, pet policy, arrival and exit information as well as information about anything you could want to know about local events and restaurants. The home was very well insulated that kept us warm without having to crank up the heat. The beds were very comfortable and there were more than enough pillows and blankets. Tons of towels, bath and cleaning supplies. Kitchen was fully stocked with cooking supplies, pots, pans, seasonings, utensils, paper towels, coffee, and so much more. There were even pet treats for our dog who came with us last minute. Overall this was three easiest review, a solid 5 stars, that I've ever given. We would certainly book this place again and recommend it to anyone looking for a place in Traverse city.

Beautiful and comfortable home
The place is beautiful, newly renovated. The host is responsive and very helpful. He gave me great ideas of activities and local eateries. My only problem was location. The photos made it look more remote than it is. We were looking for a quiet place off the beaten path. If you are looking to be in Traverse City and close to everything than this would he a wonderful choice. If you are looking for quiet inside and out then not so much. That said though the busy road is pervasive outside, but they did a great job at soundproofing the place. Oh and super dog friendly!!

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

Our third cottage along our Mitchell Creek retreat, and quite possibly our favorite. We've always been in love with "barndominiums" and small spaces, so this home couldn't represent who we are any better.

The vaulted ceiling, with old giant wood beams, and stained glass window took our breath away the first time we walked through the door. And we knew that we had to be able to share this with others.

What makes this property unique

Location is a huge benefit of this cottage with being so centrally located, and the feeling of nature in the city, but what really sets this cottage apart is the old architecture. It's cozy, beautiful, and a true home away from home.
