Modern Traverse City Lake House w/ Hot Tub!

Reviews

• Nice place but short on amenities

  3/5

  House was nice but one of the poorest VRBO’s I’ve ever rented. The kitchen did not contain the basic necessities for a family of 6 staying the required 7 nights. Because we were traveling with young children we had all our meals at home. The kitchen had very few tools to prepare meals. No serving utensils, no spatulas or wooden spoons, no tongs and very few pans and no measuring spoons. Beds were very uncomfortable. House sleeps 8 but only had living room seating for 5. Outside doors hard to open and close - downstairs sliding door almost impossible to lock. Dock is falling apart. Air conditioning very noisy when it starts up. For the price paid property was a disappointment.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Adele, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  
  - We believed the kitchen was well-stocked, but we’ve now added additional pans, mixing bowls, serving utensils, and measuring cups/spoons to better accommodate families
  - The beds are medium firmness memory foam with cooling technology, chosen to suit a wide range of preferences. We’re sorry to hear they weren’t to your liking
  - While the living room can seat 5-6 people, the dining and patio areas offer additional seating for 8. The living room space is limited, but we’ve also included a cozy rug where the kiddos can cuddle up as well on
  movie night
  - One section of the dock had fallen down, but it has now been securely bolted back into place and is fully functional
  - The sliding doors are only 1 year old and in great shape, but required some adjustments, which are being completed this week
  - The A/C is also new (1 year old) and functioning properly, and sounds like any standard air conditioner. We apologize if this took you off guard
  
  We appreciate your feedback so we can continue to improve and help this homeowner provide guests with the 5-star service they are known for. We hope to host you again soon!

• A weekend away

  Very relaxing and beautiful place. We had a blast. Very close to town as well so we got to go to a local spa and do a candle making class. Such a beautiful area.

• Wedding weekend

  5/5

  Ejector pump was too loud. Woke guests up

  Sliding doors upstairs don’t lock. Not good

  It was advertised as having 2 beds in one of the bedrooms and that was incorrect causing a guest to sleep on the bad sleeper sofa.

• memorial service

  5/5

  I booked this property for my family as we were in the area for my wife's celebration of life memorial service. The house worked out beautifully for us, the only drawbacks that I noticed was the stairs going up and down for the living spaces if anyone were disabled and the vehicle parking limitation. Neither were an issue for us, but something to consider before booking. Overall a very nice property with numerous activities to enjoy. Would book again.
