This house was very comfortable and Laurie, our host, was very friendly and accommodating. The house sits up high with a nice view of the East Bay, and there is plenty of room and privacy to relax and look out to the water or enjoy an outdoor bonfire. This house is perfectly located with easy access to Downtown Traverse City, Old Mission Peninsula, Glen Arbor and the Sand Dunes, Leelanau Peninsula, Elk Rapids, the many Wineries and more (we easily enjoyed visiting all of these spots over the holiday weekend). We especially appreciated Laurie's offer to use her bikes on the nearby trail, but the weekend flew by fast and we never got a chance to use them or take that adventure. The house had everything we needed We had a family of (5) - (2) parents / (3) adult kids in their early twenties, and a great time was had by all. I could continue on with this review with only positives to say. In summary, I would stay here again and hope to return soon when our schedule and the availability of the home allow. Thanks to Laurie for the opportunity!
