Heavenly Haven
You couldn’t have a better little home in Traverse City. It is close to a beach, all the downtown restaurants, and airport. The Haven had everything we needed including a fenced backyard. We will definitely stay here again.

Cute and cozy
We stayed here for four nights and loved it. Our dog seemed to make herself at home pretty quickly and relaxed the entire time. We loved the hot tub and privacy fence so you can tune the world out and relax. It was a very good location for several local attractions.

Haven away from Home
The Haven on Parsons was our home away from home for three weeks. The house is super clean, updated and super cute. From the pleasing decor and the extra amenities for our pets, the fully stocked kitchen and convenient location, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Our dogs give it two paws up!
We’ve stayed at this cottage twice, and had wonderful experiences both times. The hosts are so pleasant and easy to work with, communicating proactively and responding quickly. Everything is clean, fresh, and well maintained, with thoughtful touches for humans and pups. Our dogs love running around the fully fenced yard. Thanks for another wonderful stay!

The Haven at Parsons
Me, my husband, his brother, and our two pups enjoyed a lovely stay at the Haven on Parsons this past weekend. Check in was easy and we walked in to a warm, welcoming, clean cottage. Everything was exactly as described and the hosts were easy to work with. The hot tub was lovely, temperature / water pressure in the shower was great, the beds were comfy, and the kitchen was well stocked. Having a fenced in yard was a big plus for our dogs!
There is some airport noise as they disclose - I wasn’t bothered, and those used to city living may not even notice it, but my husband appreciated his noise cancelling headphones at night. Location is close enough to get downtown quickly without being in the middle of it all. My in-laws were staying just around the corner so it was perfect for our family trip!
Thanks to Jessica and Hosted by Cornerstone :) we had a great time!

Two paws up!
The house is perfect for my family and fur baby! We love how clean, organized and comfortable the house is. The host made you feel welcomed and provided all the necessities you would need to keep you comfortable in your stay. My dog also feels welcomed, and the house is truly a dog friendly place. We will for sure stay there again if we head back that way!!

Beautiful little house!
Perfect first VRBO experience! The home is beautiful and had everything you need in it. Modern, clean and well done. The only thing I wished would have been different is the location. The surrounding homes are run down quite a bit. Other than that it was perfect!

Perfect Dog Friendly Stay
The house was as described, dog friendly, clean and close to attractions. I especially appreciated the small secure fenced back yard for my K9 companion. The hot tub was nice after a day of activities.

Short Trip
The property appeared to be recently renovated with very nice decor and updated furnishings and clean. Instructions and binder of local restaurants and tourist attractions helpful when planning your day. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and fire after a long day out. The neighborhood isn’t far from downtown TC or attractions and was nice and quiet.
