About the host
Hosted by Kara Peck
We have lived in the Traverse City/Williamsburg area for many years and love where we live. We also love to vacation (have used VRBO/Home Away for years) and love the idea of helping others find and create the perfect vacation. Both Eric and I have customer service backgrounds and I have experience in the local hospitality industry. We look forward to working with you on your next trip to our neck of the woods!
Why they chose this property
Our cozy, country house won't be the perfect fit for everyone, but for those that want to be close to it all, but not in the thick of it all, this is a great place to kick your feet up and enjoy the quiet country setting and the cozy accommodations!
What makes this property unique
1 mile from the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival!
