Great weekend in TC
Went to TC for a long weekend for my wife's birthday & our stay here at the cabin was perfect. All the little items that Lauren has in the house for you to use, are greatly appreciated. Hot tub - perfectFireplace - perfectHeated floors downstairs - perfectBeds were comfortable, kitchen had everything you needed & bathrooms/showers were clean and had everything needed for a shower...less you have to bring.In the end it was a perfect rental for a winter weekend and would recommend to anyone. Lastly Lauren would check in on us to see if we had any issues or needed anything, but yet wasn't bothersome...thank you Lauren.

Great Place. You will like it.
Attention to detail, clean, comfortable, excellent location, and good owner communication is how I would describe this rental. The only VERY SMALL negative is that the unit is on a busy road which does create a small amount of road noise. My wife is a very light sleeper and it did not bother her. I very highly recommend this rental. Not only would I stay there again I will stay there again.

Amazing, Well Supplied and Cozy Home
This was the best rental home I've ever booked. The house was cozy, very clean, and fully stocked with so many extras. The property owners were super friendly and communicated very well the entire process. The website was super intuitive and informative giving us clear directions and information about the home, the tv, the wifi, pet policy, arrival and exit information as well as information about anything you could want to know about local events and restaurants. The home was very well insulated that kept us warm without having to crank up the heat. The beds were very comfortable and there were more than enough pillows and blankets. Tons of towels, bath and cleaning supplies. Kitchen was fully stocked with cooking supplies, pots, pans, seasonings, utensils, paper towels, coffee, and so much more. There were even pet treats for our dog who came with us last minute. Overall this was three easiest review, a solid 5 stars, that I've ever given. We would certainly book this place again and recommend it to anyone looking for a place in Traverse city.

Beautiful and comfortable home
The place is beautiful, newly renovated. The host is responsive and very helpful. He gave me great ideas of activities and local eateries. My only problem was location. The photos made it look more remote than it is. We were looking for a quiet place off the beaten path. If you are looking to be in Traverse City and close to everything than this would he a wonderful choice. If you are looking for quiet inside and out then not so much. That said though the busy road is pervasive outside, but they did a great job at soundproofing the place. Oh and super dog friendly!!

Beautiful Updates
The Chalet has just been recently updated and expanded and it is beautiful. Now 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms with a nice open concept upstairs living area. Short walk to the beach at the end of the road. You do have to cross a busy road 4 lanes to get to the walking path to the beach. Bike trail is also super close and goes from Acme all the way to Sutton's Bay (25 miles 1 way). The hot tub on the back porch is a huge plus as well. The chalet is super clean and though we do not have an electric car, the parking spots have electric car chargers which would be very convenient for someone who does have that type of car! Overall great place to stay!

Perfect weekend getaway
Came up for a long weekend with my husband and dog. We enjoyed the convenience to downtown TC but found ourselves wanting to spend most of our time at the property - it was so cozy and comfortable. Our dog loved the backyard/woods and we enjoyed using the hot tub and fire pit. The place was impeccably clean - definitely recommend!

Sister retreat
Trying to rekindle memories of up north and the TC area in a cabin in the woods with my adult sisters, and this property did not disappoint! Just two beds so for 3 of us two had to share a bed. If traveling as two couples should know each other well or you’re about to with the intimate space. ;) Loved the location, the hot tub. Super clean, cozy, woodsy and convenient!

Great Place
The chalet is great! It is both aesthetically charming and functional. It is small but since the use of space is well thought out it does not feel cramped. We loved the wrap around deck which felt like an extension of the inside. The hosts attention to detail along with a few special touches were obvious & appreciated.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Lauren and Tom’s property for a weekend, and absolutely adored it! The house itself is very clean inside and out. The amenities were great and easily accessible. The property location is close to everything and only 10 minutes from the prettiest beach. My boyfriend’s daughter left a blanket behind unfortunately, but Laura was so kind as to send it back :) Thank you for the amazing stay, we will definitely be back next Cherry Fest!!

The perfect spot
This property was SPOTLESS when we arrived, and trust me I'm a traveler that looks under things to check for hidden filth. Happy to say there was none! The location was great, the neighborhood was perfect for us, and it looked just like the pictures. If I was to run away to a new life I would want a little apartment like this one. Just a warning though, the bed is very firm. However, if that is the only thing I can think of as a downfall then I consider that a success!

Clean and Cozy - Great Traverse City Location
We were only able to get away for two nights, but it was worth every minute. There are too many great things to say about our stay, but some highlights included the cleanliness of the overall property and cottage, the convenient location, and the hot tub. We enjoyed our stay, and we also appreciated the clear and courteous communications with the owners.
