Wonderful get away spot for families that is close to FishTown and Van's beach.

Plenty of room in this home for all of the family. Less than a 5 min drive to Van's beach or Fishtown. The property is expansive and we enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

Fourth of July Weekend

We had an incredible stay at Bradley’s home. The pictures were exactly how the home was set up. A full kitchen full of all the cooking utensils you need. Rooms and bathrooms were all clean with plenty of towels to use. It was the perfect location, 5 minute ride to Leland where we enjoyed two delicious fish dinners at the Cove. Then only a 25 minute ride to the Cherry festival in TC. We enjoyed a beautiful day at the sleeping bear beach as well. I would 1000% stay here again. Bradley was very responsive if I needed to ask any questions as well!
