This is the perfect place. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep, and the owners were so accommodating! I would Love to come back when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the backyard more :). Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved this location, home - everything about it was perfect for us. We only have 5 adults but thoroughly enjoyed preparing meals, relaxing, and popping across the street to the Little Traverse Inn for drinks and food (and music!). Carri and Terry were most helpful to us. Add an EV charging capability and we are sold! ;)

Had a wonderful time with high school friends (41 years ago!) for our yearly reunion. Such a beautiful property. Great location. Fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed for cooking. Beds and pillows were so comfortable. The large table and great room were perfect for gathering! Can’t wait to come back!
Homeowner's Response: "Thank you, Nancy, for the kind review. You and your group were a blessing, so respectful of the property and going above and beyond to rescue the chairs during the wind storm. We look forward to hosting you again in the future."
We had a great stay at this lakehouse. It was a great fit for getting all of our family in one spot. There is plenty of space for everyone. We enjoyed our time on the lake and rented a pontoon through TC Watersports for the week. The owners were super responsive to any questions we had and the online manual made it easy to share information with all our family that was coming from different areas.Highly recommend and would stay here again!
