Wine weekend
My wife and I come to the area every early November to find some wine/spirits and just get away for a minute. This year we asked our closest friends to join. They had little experience in what the north west had to offer, so showing them was one of the most enjoyable weekends we have had with them. And the house was just the perfect place to rest and taste our finds of the day. Would recommend this house to anyone that asks. Thank you to our host for all the great amenities within. We really need to know what kind of coffee was provided. It was excellent!!

Toast the Season
Matthew went above and beyond with hos hospitality. We were there for the annual Toast the Season wine tour. The house was clean, well-stocked and cozy. We had the family dog on this trip, and it was equipped with amenities that you would need. Very thoughtful.

Excellent!
We arrived in October 3-6th. Our stay with friends was wonderful, kitchen fully stocked as we made breakfast daily before leaving for events/fun throughout the county! Beds were very comfortable, the home was clean, the owner (Matt) was more than generous we had coupons for wine tasting, a chilled bottle of wine, cinnamon rolls and the fire pit was set up! We soooo enjoyed our stay at the house as well as venturing out to all the wineries/events and restaurants! Matt thank you for being so communicative as well as generous! Would come back in a minute! Loved our stay!❤️❤️

All the comforts of home in a central location
Homeowner, Matthew, was communicative throughout our planning and stay. The house was clean, well stocked, with both a gas and wood fire pit out back. The neighborhood is quiet and woodsy. I appreciated not having a long list of chores when checking out.

Awesome up north stay!
We had 6 in our party. My husband and our 4 adult kids. We had such a nice time at the property! We stayed in Friday night and cooked dinner. The kitchen accommodated us perfectly. There was everything we needed to prepare our meal! We spent the day Saturday in Suttons Bay and Glen Arbor, and had such a fun time! We made a delicious breakfast Sunday before we cleaned up and headed out. The home was comfortable, welcoming, and very clean! The beds were so comfy :-) the kids had so much fun downstairs playing old-school Mario brothers and watching their favorite shows on the big screen projector. Highly recommend this property! There’s even a little cozy fireplace. We noticed it would be so nice to stay there during the winter time :-)

Lovely, relaxing stay
The accommodations were perfect for my family. We had six adults in our group and having bedrooms on three separate levels, each with their own bathroom, provided the perfect balance of family time and privacy. We also had a couple of dogs in our group and we very much appreciated the provided gates and supplies for them. The property was extremely clean and exactly as pictured. The communication was great. I wouldn’t have changed a thing about our stay.

Family getaway
The accommodations were excellent! Nestled in the woods for a very quiet experience. We had our three young grandkids along with us and more than once we heard "this is the best day ever". The location is perfect, close to everything we had come up there to do. Will definitely be returning again. Matthew is a great host!

Wedding Travel Stay
We enjoyed our time in your Chalet home very much! It was wonderful to be able to travel with our dogs. They enjoyed the outside space very much! The firepit made for some lovely evening conversations, as well as smores! The inside space was very functional. It was great having a bedroom/bathroom on all three levels. This allowed for privacy when sleeping, as well as enough bathroom space for all of us to get ready for a wedding we were attending. The coffee bar was well stocked, and we enjoyed it each morning. The proximity to the dunes, restaurants and other Michigan beauty made it a perfect location! We would definitely come again!

Don't Go Anywhere Else
If you're considering staying somewhere else, don't! This is THE place to be! The home is conveniently located close to many key areas, a short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City (why pay more) and the beach! Inside is spacious (you could sleep so many here!), neat and nicely decorated with all the amenities you could possibly need. If you're a nature person, the backyard is beautiful and so calming. The owner Matt is so kind and thoughtful! What place have you stayed at that (not a hotel) had mini toiletry items in the bathrooms? Extra blankets. Free popcorn. Wifi. Entertainment area. Grill and fire pit. Matt really goes above and beyond, and it shows. And it's pet friendly!! I really could go on but instead just do yourself a favor and book. You won't be disappointed. (Not paid, I just really, really enjoyed it here! )

Homey place in a great location
What a great stay! My partner and I had a lovely time making this our second home for a few days (if our home was much, much nicer). We loved the comfy beds and the little thoughtful touches like the coffee bar with flavored creamers, herb garden with herbs we could use, and the downstairs play area with Nintendo, games, and a big projector with Netflix all set up to go. Matthew was super responsive to questions. The kitchen was awesome too. We're both foodies and we cooked a gigantic complicated meal, and there was everything we needed. The grill is really nice and big and the stove has a gas griddle for breakfasts. The location is also perfect to get to pretty much anywhere in Leelanau. We did a bike ride up to Fishtown and spent the next day hiking Good Harbor. The place was clean and you could tell it was really well cared for. It was nice to have shampoo, conditioner, and things like Q-tips so we didn't have to pack too much. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely Leelanau Long weekend
We had a really great weekend on the Leelanau Peninsula! We all slept great in the comfy beds, and my partner enjoyed cooking in the really well stocked kitchen. There were all the utensils and pots and pans we needed, sharp knives, oil and vinegar and even fresh herbs from the garden. There were plenty of fresh clean linens. There was one day we didn't leave the property at all because there was enough beauty all around us. There were rare wildflowers (trillium and jack in the pulpit) and a firepit, and the sun was shining on the deck, so we just enjoyed a relaxing day amongst the trees. We also hiked to the top of Sugarloaf mountain and enjoyed the spectacular views from there, and made the very short drive to Good Harbor Beach for a stunning sunset. Matt was very quick to respond to any questions we had, and he obviously puts a lot of care and attention into the place. There are books and magazines about the local area, and lots of little things that make life easier there (like labels on the light switches and towels in every room). There are also board games and puzzles and even an old nintendo system! We will definitely be back! I think next time we'll stay a little longer.
