Great communication. House was perfect for our weekend getaway with friends. The driveway has a bit of a slope down from the road, so if you plan a winter trip here you may want 4wd. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Home Base For Girls Trip

Had a great stay at Blake's place in Cedar! The house was fantastic and the perfect home base for our girls trip up north. The hot tub was the perfect temp and it got just cold enough at night to enjoy a fire. I highly recommend this location and hope to visit again!

This place was great! My son and I were road tripping through Northern Michigan and needed a cool spot for our Traverse City / Leelanau Cty adventures. Super relaxing home in a beautiful country setting. The hot tub was great and we did s'mores by the campfire at night. It's a short easy drive to/from TC. I wish we stayed longer! We'll definitely be back!

House was clean with simple floorplan making it easy to move about. Hot tub is fairly easy to use, A mechanical cover unit would be a plus.Plenty of closet space and necessary household items (towels, kitchen equip etc) Centrally located to many attractions /restaurants in Traverse city and around the county area.Driveway / parking reasonably clear of snow. A Challenge in winter for sure.Would recommend for small family and / or group of friends.

Our family had a great stay in Cedar, Michigan! The property is very clean and beautiful! The location is great as you are close to Traverse City and Good Harbor Bay Beach. This would be a place our family would love to stay at again and the owner was very responsive to questions and just checking in during our stay.

The house was immaculate and decorated beautifully. The hot tub was wonderful and the views of the changing fall colors around us was a bonus. The house is located near wineries and they were easy to get too. I have stayed at several properties and this one was exceptional.
