Restful Cottage For 4 On Lake George Near Traverse Cit

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying at this cottage. It was cozy and nestled in a wooded area where you could also see the lake and animals. It was a perfect place to relax and get away from everything, but only about twenty minutes to downtown Traverse City. We did have to contact the owner once about the outside light, and she took care of it right away. Our only concern was the steepness of the walk getting down to the cottage. As seniors, we felt that we had to be very careful going up and down, especially since there wasn’t any kind of railing. Once we got inside though, we enjoyed all the windows with the lovely views."

Newly Remodeled Lakefront Cabin w/ Modern Amenities.

10/10 Excellent

"The home is beautiful and the views are stunning! We enjoyed a beautiful fall weekend, kayaking, fishing, shopping and sitting around an evening fire. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you could need for cooking. We loved the large dining room table that easily seated all eight of us for dinner and games. The beds are comfortable and the extra room in the bunk house was perfect. The location is close to Traverse City and the casino. We hope to be back!"

Boardman River Cottage, 2 bedroom 1 Bath steps away from the banks of the river

10/10 Excellent

"This property was by far one of the best properties we have ever stayed at! Everything was extremely clean and taken care of! John was on site for any questions if needed. He called with instructions on location and where the key was which was great so no questions from us on check in day! Absolutely all details were thought about right down to the”dog towels”! We cooked in everyday for breakfast and dinner! The only thing we had to buy was the food we wanted to cook! There were plenty of spices, condiments, and any pans we would need! We sat by the fire every evening enjoying the all the sounds and sights of the bustling river. We brought a grate to put over the fire pit to cook our dinner which was really nice and definitely easy! The location is close to everything! Only a 15 minute drive to downtown TC. It’s an easy drive to the wineries as well! We enjoyed our time so much that we booked again for next fall!! Thanks John, for being a great host!"

Two Side By Side Luxury Lakeside Homes With Dock, Sandy Beach, Kayak/SUPs

10/10 Excellent

"Lakemore Retreat was the perfect location for a 30 year reunion of 18 old friends! The property was beautiful and exactly as advertised. Communication was easy and friendly and prompt with our hosts. The views were breathtaking. The houses had everything we could ever need. We will definitely recommend and hopefully come back again!"

Newly Built Luxury Lakefront Cottage with Fire Pit, Dock, Game Room

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful stay! The house was spotless upon arrival and check-in was seamless. We had plenty of space for eight adults. We were able to enjoy the outdoor space by using the fire pit and SUPs. The team was attentive via text. Would highly recommend this for a large group…would be great for families with young kids as the upstairs loft area (and game room) would def be kid faves. Would love to come here again in the summer to enjoy the lake."

Quiet and Peaceful 3 Bedroom Family Cottage on Lake George, 12 Miles to TC

10/10 Excellent

"Gayle and her sister Alison provided the perfect jumping-off point to visit Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island. The cute little cottage is fully appointed, complete with kayaks, firewood, a well-stocked kitchen and two full baths. It was a comfortable place to hang out after long days. The little lake made for beautiful, peaceful kayaking, and the distance from the city allowed for great star-gazing. Our visit there was a wonderful way to combine the peaceful setting in the woods with the hubbub of the touristy cities. Gayle and Alison couldn't have made us feel more at home and offered more than a few ideas off the beaten path so that we could avoid crowds sometimes."
