Cute cozy place. Close enough to everything Traverse City has to offer. Short drive to Leland which was a nice little town. Walking trail right down the road which was a plus.

Perfect for Us

My husband and I had a wonderful 5 day stay at little Cherry Bend. Jan is very hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed. It was in a good location for us as we traveled around the area and was the perfect size for 2. We would definitely recommend the apartment as we’re looking for next year ourselves.

Great little place

Thus was a very quaint place for two! It has a breezeway between this and the larger home next to it. My only concern was it was curly fragrant and I have asthma. I prefer no scented wall plug ins or sprays.

Biking paradise!

The house is small as advertised but was very comfortable for a married couple in their 70’s. Jan is an amazing host and went above and beyond to provide everything needed for a relaxing atmosphere. We used the house as a base for biking the Lelanlau Trail to Suttons Bay 2 out of our four days in the area. Another day we drove to Charlevoix and biked The Little Traverse Wheelway. We visited Northport to see the lighthouse and Leland to see Fishtown and have dinner at The Cove (very good whitefish!) There is a lot to see and do in the area and we really enjoyed being a little outside of Traverse City. Thank you for a great stay, Jan!

Perfect for a Couple

This was my first time using this service (or any similar service) and I was quite nervous but the "small" house was the perfect get away for me and my wife. THe check-in process was similar, there was necessary information inside and the checkout process was just as simple. We were provided a phone number in case we had questions, problems, or concerns. We enjoyed the coziness of the living room, the firepit outside where we sat around for hours talking and playing games, and it is only a short ride into Traverse City, Sleeping Bear dunes and Glen Arbor. The owner had many of the forgettable needs covered and made sure we had everything we needed. Perfect place to stay for a perfect weekend away from the kids.

Hidden Gem for 2

This property is just as advertised. It's a small house perfect for 2 people looking to get away into the northern part of Michigan. The road it's on isn't too busy and is less than a minute bike away from the TART trail. We stayed when no one was in the other house, so I can't attest to what it would be like. The driveway is small, but if parked properly, can easily fit 2 cars. There is a fire pit out back, but we didn't end up having time to use it. One thing to keep in mind is that the shower space is small. It's a square shower that doesn't grant a lot of room to movement, so if you're bigger, you will have difficulty. I'm 6' 2" 200 pounds, and it was just big enough for me. The owner is great about communication, but we never needed her. I would definitely stay here again.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy
Our stay was ok, and the property was generally as pictured and clean. Communication with the owner was very good. However, as another review noted, the shower is very small. There were also a few unexpected inconveniences: a ‘no shoes’ policy noted on the door after arrival, which is tough with multiple bags to bring in; no usable closet space or coat hooks; and no outdoor lighting, making dark arrivals difficult because the switch is taped off saying “keep turned off”. Additionally, morning coffee on the patio wasn’t possible due to the 6am sprinklers soaking the furniture and the backyard backs up to a construction company storage yard.

Had everything I needed. It was clean and orderly when I arrived. I was as in the area attending a wedding for the weekend and this was the perfect place to get ready for all the festivities. Very close to downtown Traverse city but just far out enough to feel like you were in the quiet country. Very happy with my stay and would highly recommend for anyone trying to enjoy Traverse city and the surrounding areas.

Quick weekend trip

It was very easy check-in and check-out process. It fit our needs, right size and good location. Honestly, we did not spend much time here as busy exploring traverse City and sleeping bear dunes. It was a quick few minute drive to downtown traverse city, but close to so many activities that we explored: wineries, mission peninsula, downtown Traverse City and quick ride after spending all day at Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was perfect size and all our needs were met. Its a different set-up since breezeway is between this place and main house, but never saw the other tentants and still had our privacy. Would definetly stay again.

A great night’s sleep!!

Jan is the most accommodating and responsive host we have ever experienced! The kitchen is much brighter than the photos show and has everything we needed. We are in our 70s with back issues and the couch was challenging for us. We used the bed pillows for more support and that worked ok. The bed is super comfy and we slept great. There is traffic noise and my husband is a very light sleeper but he wore earplugs and didn’t have any issue at all with sleeping. Great location right across the street from the TART trail and a short drive into town.
