Peaceful, Cozy Get-away

This place was a perfect spot for our family of 4. We loved the wooded view from the windows, grilling and eating out on the deck and s’mores around the campfire. We also appreciated that there was a spot for everything so that we could unpack and get cozy. The house was clean, had great AC and was well-stocked with everything we needed. Not to mention it had the world’s most comfortable pillow chair. All of the details were well thought through. We spent most of our time in the Traverse City area which was about a 15-20 min drive. It also was an easy drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Thanks for a memorable and relaxing stay!

Peaceful, Good Vibes

I loved my stay at this property. Its very cozy and organized and tucked away on a perfectly private piece of land a couple blocks from the lake. Owner is non-invasive but gets right back 2 u with any questions. Neighbors are quiet. Wonderful deck, cozy sleeping area, all cheerful and clean. Its very small, so I would say suitable for solo, couple, or small children with parents. Would stay again. A good spot for sure. Thanks again!!! Be well, L :)

well provisioned kitchen

Everything was as described. Very clean and comfortable. Didn't really use the TV but did play some of the games. I enjoy cooking and the kitchen met my needs much better then anywhere else we have rented. We would stay again. Nice deck for my morning coffee and quiet time. Manager answered my inquires in a very reasonable time. Tastefully decorated. Easy access to all in the Traverse City area and Michigans West Coast.

Great Place to Stay

We enjoyed a week with our two small kids and the house was just what we needed. It was incredibly clean and very well stocked with essential items. Our kids loved playing in the large yard, and the deck was a perfect hangout spot! A very cozy, comfortable place to stay!

Great cottage in the woods.

Out of the crazy traffic in Traverse City, tucked away down a long driveway. Nice setup with a big deck that we lived on. Only downside is the small bathroom with no place to put your stuff. Other than that it was a nice stay.

Fall Miini Vacation

My Husband and I along with my daughter and her husband stayed at the cottage for a mini fall vacation. The cottage was cute and clean. The location was great for Traverse City and Suttons Bay. We were in a rural setting but within a short drive to the city. Mindy was very accomodating and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay at this cottage.

WOW! I’ll be back next year

The Cooper cabin was so relaxing and immaculate! Mindy was just a text or phone call away. She had EVERYTHING, spices, sugar, coffee other goodies, all sizes of glass baking dishes, pots, even a cast iron one! Well stocked with essentials TP, paper towels, dish soaps, hand soap, and cleaning supplies Loved coming back at night to her comfortable living room couch with a great TV. I was more than sad, I wanted to add another day, but she’s totally booked for the rest of this year and at least through April or May next year. When I booked only Sept11-15 were open, today is my birthday, so I was wishing someone would cancel for tonight, lol! They did not and I understand why!!! Mindy was so kind, delightful and such an accommodating hostess

Perfect location for TC and Leelanau area

This was a great location for our weekend attending a wedding in Maple City. We were centrally located to TC, Glen Arbor, Empire, and anywhere else we wanted to go. Also, 4 minutes from Moomers! The property was a comfortable size for 4 people and had everything as described in the listing. We enjoyed the cute decorative touches and large front porch. Would stay again.

Family Summer Get Away

We can't say enough great things about this cottage and working with Mindy! The location is perfect, far enough away from the town so its nice and quiet, but also everything within a 10-15min drive. We enjoyed using the deck for dinner and the kiddos played in the yard (and also "explored in the forest" in the surrounding trees). The cottage was fully stocked with everything you need from cookware to paper towel, board games to spices- its makes the trip that much easier. It was very clear that the property owners want to make it a home away from home. Working with Mindy was great- always attentive, answered all my questions and gave great recommendations for dining and activities in the area. We had a blast!

Perfect for 2

The cottage is just a few minutes from Long Lake and set back on a large wooded lot. It is small but very comfortable for couples or families. We were only 2 people, but were well-equipped for a dinner party for 4 sitting under the umbrella over the patio table. The gas grill needs an upgrade - otherwise our stay was perfect and we hope to visit again.

Honeymoon

We had a great time here. The property was just the right size for the 2 of us. We enjoyed eating dinner out on the deck and even had a bonfire one night. We really enjoyed the list of suggested places to eat and things to do. We will definitely be back in the future!

Great Traverse City base for a family

This place worked great for our family vacation! It was 30 minutes to pretty much everywhere and even closer to downtown Traverse City. The house had everything we needed and Mindy was great to work with. The wooded location also worked well for a couple of loud kids who love to be outside. We would definitely book again!

About the host

Hosted by Mindy Cooper

We are a family of 4 that live in Traverse City. We love the area and are excited to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

This place is adorable. It is quiet, and allows you to 'get away from it all'

What makes this property unique

This house is less than 1 mile from 2 beaches, and parks. Long Lake township has a park nearby with basketball courts, a walking trail, tennis courts, and play structures. It is a beautiful area if you want to spend a day "home" and not downtown TC or traveling Northern Michigan.
