The home and surrounding area were beautiful. The house was spacious with many amenities. The entire rental experience went very smoothly. Leo was quick to respond to questions and was very helpful. I hope to be able to rent from him again.
We traveled to Traverse City for a family wedding and could not have been happier with the accommodations! The home was clean, up to date and had all the amenities you would expect or imagine! We would stay there again if we were to visit TC again! Thanks for a great weekend…it was wonderful!!!
We had a wonderful experience. The check-in process was easy, making our arrival stress-free. The house was clean, very comfortable and had a warm, welcoming feel. It was well-appointed with all the necessities, which made settling in easy and enjoyable. Communication with the property owner was prompt and helpful before and during our stay. We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again.
We took our mom (78 yoa) for a nice relaxing weekend w/family. Spent time at the National Cherry Festival, went to Moomers (a couple times), visited shops, and ate at many restaurants. Had a great time, wish the weather was a little nicer, but we’ll take it!
We come up for Cherry festival every summer. This was the first time we stayed as a family under one roof. The house was perfect place for us to stay. Plenty of entertainment for the kiddos in the basement and yard. The open concept was nice to meet with everyone in the morning and figure out plan for the day.
Wonderful property in a great location. We weren't there for the beach, but it's in super close proximity to Long Lake. Also a quick jaunt to golf and restaurants and downtown Traverse City.
We really enjoyed our stay. Large bedrooms, plenty of towels and essentials in the bathrooms and kitchen. Great games in the basement as well. Overall, we had a great time connecting with our adult kids in an environment where everyone had everything they needed to be comfortable!
We stayed here for annual BFF weekend and this place did not disappoint. We are a group of 8 that get together in a new location annually. This home was very accommodating. We enjoyed the bonfire pit out back and played games in the basement. This home is located near Traverse City where we enjoyed shopping and wineries. We also took a trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes. I don’t think we’ll make it back since we goto a new location every year (I’m located in Georgia), but we highly recommend this home. You won’t be disappointed.
We came up north with 6 ladies and this property met all of our needs. The house was clean neat in a quiet neighborhood central to many Traverse City activities. The bedrooms were comfortable and very accurate from the details in the listing. Ample amenities, stocked kitchen, -we especially loved the perfect sized coffee mugs! We did run a little low on paper towels and toilet paper, but that did not overshadow our satisfaction with the property. Great neighborhood to walk around. Everyone got a few walks in over the weekend. Leo was a great host and answered questions very promptly. We would stay here again!
Our family of 5 (kids 9, 11 and 14) stayed for three nights. The house was in a lovely neighborhood close to Long Lake. Property was super clean and just as pictured. It had everything we needed. Our kids had a great time playing games in the basement and we all had room to spread out. Another family could have easily joined us.
We love the area and its proximity to everything. We spent one day at the Sleeping Bear Dunes and the beach. The next we took a hike to the Hippie Tree, picked fruit and ate lunch at Jacob’s Farm and did a tasting at Rove Winery before enjoying a family movie night on the couch (where we all fit).
We only wish we had more time to stay. Thanks for the memories!
This space exceeded my expectations! Very clean, felt genuinely homey, and you can tell how much attention to detail and effort was put into this space to make it feel like a true home away from home. The best rental property I have ever booked, and look forward to potentially booking again.
Wonderful house with great beds, nice size kitchen, lots of fun activities in the basement and located in a beautiful neighborhood very close to long lake.
The property was lovely and spacious. Appreciated having lots of seating in the main areas. We were very disappointed that the home's a/c was not working and we were not offered any concession especially given the cost of our stay.
The house was so clean and had so much space for everyone. The beds were very comfortable and the house is in a great location!! If you are looking for lunch near by stop at fresh coast market! Rove winery was right up the road am so peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay
This house worked out so well for my family. The host was very easy to work with, the location was perfect, the beds were comfortable and the accommodation was especially good for the kids who found plenty to do. What else can I say? You won't be disappointed with this lovely house.
The house was very nice. Host was responsive and helpful. Kitchen was lacking a bit with pans but we made it work. Enjoyed the basement with games. Very nice space to relax. The upstairs needs a bathroom. Seven people for two bathrooms was not easy.
We had such a lovely stay at this Weatherwood property. Ample room for our family...3 bedrooms for the grownups and a spacious room for multiple kids! We felt at home right away. It was a welcoming home to return to after a busy day.
We would not hesitate to stay here again , given the opportunity!
Lovely property as advertised. Home owner very easy to contact. Would definitely rent again. We left a phone and the owner was able to help get it shipped back to us.
Michigan and especially Traverse City are beautiful and a lot of things to see and do in area.
