The perfect location and space for a girls trip! There were multiple large areas for us all to hang out, a big kitchen, good parking, a secluded but beautiful view!
This house was perfect for our family vacation! Very clean, updated and spacious. We had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the quiet, peaceful location. It was easy and convenient to get to the places we wanted to explore. Great memories, we hope to return!!
It was perfect! Lots of room, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms with everything you would need for your stay. We were a multigenerational family and it worked for all of us. And bring your basketball! Close to downtown TC and other attractions.

Reviewer Comments:
This rental was a great choice for our stay. The home was spotless upon arrival and matched the listing perfectly. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the layout worked really well for our needs. We especially appreciated the little touches that made it feel welcoming rather than just a rental. Communication with the host was smooth and timely, and check-in/check-out were easy. The location was ideal- close to everything but still peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.
There were 14 adults in our group and the house was perfect! Super clean and decorated so cute! The beds were comfy great wifi connection with 4k tv’s. Every amenity you could think of. Soooo many games and things to do. The views were spectacular from all angles of the house. We plan to book again for sure. Super hosts!!!
Came up for a quick girls trip. House was great! Very clean, lots of room for everyone to spread out. There’s a game room area with a shuffleboard game and a large connect 4 game to play. So fun!
Started out with an awesome walk on the boardman lake trail (part of the TART – traverse area recreational trails) which is just a short drive from the house. So nice to enjoy the outdoors. It’s a 10 minute drive to old mission peninsula and the wineries. Very close to downtown traverse city for shopping and yummy restaurants like the Tap Room Cider house. There’s also a grocery store nearby.
Can’t wait to return for another girls wine trip!
Thanks again for a wonderful time.
