Excellent place to stay. Eric and Kara communicated wonderfully, cleanliness was top notch. We’ve been to the Traverse area a few times and this was by far our best stay yet. We will be booking with them again.

Excellent motel for our half-way home stop.

Extremely clean and property, inside and outside. Beautiful suite, comfortable and nice breakfast with, perhaps, the best motel coffee we've had in many years.

This place was great, especially if you have a boat. It's tucked in between all of the major bodies of water. The use of their garage to store my boat was extremely helpful. For reference, I have a Ranger 522D with 10 foot power poles, and it fit in the garage with no issues. There was plenty of space to maneuver in their driveway for backing in and out. The house was in excellent shape. It had a bedroom downstairs with a loft upstairs with multiple beds. I will definitely be staying here again, and I highly recommend this as the place to stay if you're coming to fish the local lakes in the area.

Easy and beautiful

This was a great place to stay on our visit to the area and Sleeping Bear Dunes. While still an hour away from the dunes all the space in between and near by provided all that we needed, traverse city, pie, wine, beaches. The place was clean, well laid out, stocked, and very easy to check in to, hosts were very helpful and kind.

A Wonderful Return Visit!

We love everything about this idyllic little home that's just a short distance from Traverse City. It's so clean, well-appointed, quiet and comfortable. Best of all, Kara and Eric are friendly, welcoming hosts to us and our lovable 98-pound dog, Dilly. We know that this is the place we will always try to book! The nearby cows are a bonus--when we spot them! We WILL be back, whenever we can slip away to our home-away-from home!

Peaceful & dog friendly

This was the perfect spot for us and our dogs. It was a relaxing & comfortable place to come back to after our adventures each day. We loved being greeted by the cows every morning. The owners were on site & available, but not at all intrusive. They answered questions immediately. It's a great location to explore all the surrounding areas. We definitely want to come back!

We had so much fun at the little house, they had sleds we could use and it was nice to just hangout. My girls loved the games that were provided to use during our stay and the cows were an added bonus. Also, communication was great!

Cozy and quiet

It was a great place to stay. Very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed seeing the cows each morning. It’s a country setting but very close to all we needed including Meijer and Grand Traverse Resort. A clean place where we could sleep and cook our own meals and relax in between while including our dog in the stay.

A beautiful place in the country, very comfortable and peaceful. Perfect location for my brother and I. Short trip to Traverse City. Went to Charlevoix and Petoskey. Casino is 5 minutes away. If you're looking a place away from the noise, this is it. Love the wood work and the care you put into your place.
