This property is a dream, there are no words, it has everything. I only gave 4 stars on cleanliness because there were used coffee grounds left in the coffee maker when we arrived but no big deal. We moved the grill around to the patio outside the bedroom. Bugs outdoors were not a problem but I rented the 1st week in September with milder temps. I am not a tv person but my only complaint is that for what you are paying for this place it should have cable for those that are. Being able to bring my dog is a HUGE plus thank you!

Beautiful property and waterfront. Hosts and neighbors very friendly. Felt like part of the neighborhood for the week. Lots to do around Old Mission penninsula. Wish the kitchen had a few more things as we cooked most meals there.

Quiet Getaway

To get away from the busy life, this quiet oasis provided a close spot to the hidden gems of the peninsula. The property was right on the water, had a cute charm, and all the amenities you would need.

Great weekend getaway!

Had a great long weekend here during Cherry festival! The location is fantastic and the private beach is a great perk. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The house was very clean and had plenty of towels, blankets, and pillows. The only downside is the bed is very small and hard - two larger adults will struggle to sleep comfortably. Thankfully there is a pull out couch which helped in a pinch

Could not have been better!

We enjoyed our stay so much that we are hoping to book again next year. The hosts were friendly and the cottage was absolutely spotless. There are plenty of nice restaurants nearby, but it was hard to leave the lovely beach just steps away from the cottage. We have rented Up North for years and this was our favorite place. Can't wait to go again.

Beautiful spot, clean dwelling. Problems with Rental: Fruit flies, Terrible TV situation, no washing machine or dryer, no garbage disposal. Owner wouldn’t allow any visitors including our disabled upper 70’s in-laws to visit for the afternoon. Had to get dog sitter to go out to eat since owner wouldn’t allow leaving pet there. Traverse City very congested. Not a good experience.

Guest house with private beach on beautiful Traverse Bay

The guesthouse on Old Mission Peninsula was clean and comfortable. The best part of us was the short walk to a private beach on the west arm of Grand Traverse Bay. We spent many hours on the sand and in the water which was warm and clear. The guesthouse was a short distance from many of our favorite wineries which we visited. Nancy and Norm were friendly hosts and made our stay memorable.

Great location for exploring the Old Mission Peninsula. The Guest house was small but well appointed for all my adult daughter and I needed for our Up North getaway . There was a noticeable musty odor and many cobwebs but we were still happy with the setting .

Nice location for the immediate area. Harder to get to other places in greater Traverse area. We didn't utilize beach area to any real extent but it is small. Kitchen small. Don't plan to cook much. Overall, it served our purpose but overpriced.

Lovely little place with a private beach

We loved our stay here. The property had everything we needed, and lots of thoughtful little extras that we didn't even expect, like wood for the fire pit on the beach and all the stuff needed to make s'mores, beach umbrellas, and beach towels. The location and the beach was beautiful. One thing to be aware of - the bed is extra firm. That's not really even a negative, just something to be aware of based on personal preference. We still slept just fine though.

Beautiful!

The property is gorgeous! The hosts are incredible too - we accidentally locked ourselves out of the guesthouse when we walked to the beach and they were able to get us back in within minutes of texting them about our situation. During our stay, we enjoyed their clean beach and downtown Traverse City (~15minute drive). Next time, we plan to stop at one of the vineyards that is conveniently between the guesthouse and downtown. We highly recommend staying here for a fun weekend trip!
