Perfect Escape

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The property was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described-if not better. The attention to detail made the space feel luxurious.The location was perfect; close enough to everything we wanted to do, yet peaceful and private enough to truly relax. We especially loved the grill and fire pit with access to tons of firewood. Communication with the host was seamless. Tricia was friendly, and provided great local tips that made our stay even more special.We highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an stress-free, memorable getaway!

We loved this location and property. The house is self is organized extremely well and the owner thought of every single thing that we could have needed. We packed probably two full bins of things that we didn't need since Trish thought of it all.Also, Trish checked in with us just to let us know of amazing sunset spots that the average visitor might not know--and tips and tricks for hanging out in the area--including which places had live music and the best pizza. She was so kind and extremely responsive--not that we needed a THING. Lastly, we have been renting in the area for 20 years. These were some of the best mattresses I have slept on unlike other rentals.

Excellent rental!

My family loved staying here! The location could not be more perfect. We went to the dunes, the beach, the Leelanau Peninsula, and Traverse City. The house itself had a secluded feel (we loved watching the deer in the yard each evening) while still being close to everything. We had everything we needed and all slept great. Our host was wonderful. I highly recommend!

Amazing Stay

One of the best places to stay in Northern Michigan/ Sleeping Bear Dunes area. Tricia was a great host and made our stay comfortable and any issues we had she was super responsive. Great kitchen with lots of gadgets to cook great meals with. Beds were comfortable and the wood fired stove made for cozy mornings in. Location is great. Will definitely be coming back!

Best VRBO Experience - Beyond Accommodating!

10/10 experience. Tricia is a phenomenal host. We booked a 2-night family getaway with our kids (8 and 1). Tricia truly thinks of everything - when we arrived there were kids books and bath toys ready and accessible, maps & guides for activities in the area, as well as menus for restaurants she recommended. The well stocked kitchen and other extras throughout the house made our stay stress-free. The house itself is very clean and spacious with incredible views. Feels like a luxurious home away from home! We will absolutely be back!!

Lovely secluded and tranquil property but easy access to everywhere. Completely kitted out kitchen and a great space to chill out with friends or family. To be honest, it would work better for a family than couples or friends as the 3 sleeping areas are not similar at all, but it is a lovely house and suited our needs perfectly.
