The property is beautifully and newly renovated inside and provides literally everything you need for your stay — soft beds, clean linens, well equipped kitchen, sparkling bathrooms, air conditioning, plus ready drinks (some light alcohol) and ice in the fridge. The grill worked on the first light and there’s also a propane fire pit on the tiny deck. While it’s off the beaten path on a side street, it’s within bike riding distance to town for ice cream and when we were there, a local boat festival. It was also our home base to get to Lake Michigan beaches and the Traverse Wheelway, a very scenic bike trail along the shoreline. Our hosts were very welcoming and gave us space while offering to meet any need we had which was perfect. If you’re looking for a very comfortable, extremely clean home base location at a reasonable price, I would definitely recommend this property. It will be our next rental during the winter when we head to Boyne Mountain to ski.
