So much to do in the summer with all the wineries, sightseeing and shopping in Traverse City! The beautiful and popular North Country Trail is only a mile away from the house.

Your space here is a large bedroom with a small living area and sofa, full bathroom with tub/shower combination, and a small kitchenette/laundry area (no sink in the kitchenette). In the kitchenette, there is a microwave, small toaster/broiler oven, and a small fridge and freezer. Coffee pot and coffee provided w/cream and sugar cannisters.

Best host ever! Peaceful & serene location
Tonya was the best host we have ever had! She really puts her heart into making sure her guests feel welcomed and comfortable. There were several personal touches, including fresh flowers, mints & chocolates, snacks, and cold drinks in the fridge. She thought of everything and then some! The property is so serene and peaceful, from the moment you get out of your car. It is a small town getaway that felt like home away from home. Tonya really went above and beyond!

Beautiful retreat
Relaxing place to stay. Host checked in to make sure we had what was needed and responded quickly to questions. The property is beautiful and quaint. There were wild trilliums in bloom outside the bathroom window. Fresh flowers in vase on arrival, and there were goodies in fridge and on table. Location was great for daytime adventures and we even got to see the northern lights walking around Fife lake one evening.

This is a perfect space for 2! Tonya was great communicating with me, even asked what beverage we’d enjoy upon arrival! We only stayed one night as we were passing through and wish we would have had more time to enjoy the kayaks and explore around Fife Lake. It’s very clean! There’s a comfy bed, large lush white towels in abundance, a little kitchenette and washer/dryer. It’s even smelled great! Outside is so pretty and included a little lighted pond area with chairs. We’d stay here again for sure should we return to that part of Michigan!

We had a very enjoyable time during our stay. The parking access close to the entrance and on the same level. The room and bedding was scent free and had plenty bedding and towels. The owner was very easy to contact and responded back to messages quickly when unable to answer the calls directly.

Wonderful!
Tonya's property is very clean, welcoming, and comfortable in a quiet neighborhood across from Fife Lake. The pictures don't do it justice. Tonya goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome, providing complimentary snacks, beverages, chocolates on your pillow. The queen bed is very comfortable, as is the sofa. We used the dryer in the unit to de-wrinkle clothes, which was a big plus. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. Highly recommended!

Second time at this property. We returned because the host is kind, thoughtful, and has great attention to detail! Bed is so comfortable and cozy, everything is clean, and wine was left for us both times! Tonya has made our stay so wonderful both times! We're glad to have found this place as halfway for a ski trip! :)

Clean, peaceful and hospitable place to stay
My phone wasn’t working well, which resulted in some challenges on my day of arrival. Tonya was very welcoming and hospitable, offering food, drinks and her time hanging out on the upstairs deck. It was a lovely evening. This place was comfortable and clean, and great place to rest in between long days of hiking. I appreciated the simple check-out procedure since I left at 6 am in the morning in the dark, and I had a full day of activities planned.

A relaxing getaway!
The photos on the website do not do this stay justice! Was such a cute and cozy apartment and felt like home. We enjoyed takeout from a local restaurant and enjoyed a walk around the beautiful lake. We were offered to kayak and paddle board, but didn’t have the time unfortunately. The bed was super comfortable! Our host had wine, snacks and coffee available for us. She was super helpful and responsive. Already talking about another trip to stay a few days at this cozy retreat! Thanks for the perfect stay!
