Great Location in TC Wine Country
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 .

Mission peninsula guest house
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.

Ideal location on the beach
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this adorable guest house just steps from the beach. The house had everything you’d need and the hosts were available if you needed anything. We plan on booking this amazing property again.

A Great Getaway
A relaxing beach property with an excellent location on the peninsula. We went looking for a quiet place to stay and enjoy some time away and this exceeded our expectations. Our dog Charlie also highly recommends this location for four-legged friends.

An immaculate, quiet and cozy cottage
We had a lovely time! The hosts responded immediately to any questions, the kitchen has everything you might need, and the nautical art adds a personal touch. Unless you absolutely must have a king bed, this is the place to stay near Traverse City.

You could hear yourself think!
It was very quiet, which we enjoyed. We wish it was a little bit closer to the water, but it is not ideal for someone with agility/balance issues. We loved the bed and the couch. The toaster didn't work well. All in all, it was a lovely escape.

Lovely get away. We like the quite, off the beaten path location. Close enough for activity but feeling like a remote getaway if you’re looking for that. This is our second time at this property. We love it!

Perfect Spot!
The location was perfect. There is a beautiful beach and it feels like you are way out in a private spot but yet it is a close drive to all the fun and amazing things that the Traverse City area has to offer like light houses, wineries, shopping and other quaint towns to explore. And best of all they welcomed our dog too.

Amazing, peaceful spot!
This was the perfect getaway. It was peaceful and secluded but near Old Mission restaurants and close enough to downtown to make it convenient for when you wanted to do other things, too. It was the first time staying on Old Mission and it was a great experience.

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.

Perfect beach getaway
The property is gorgeous with incredible beach access and view. We were looking to relax and enjoy hanging out on the water away from the crowds, so this was perfect! It is located in a convenient spot for everything. The house was updated and had everything we neesws for our stay. The owners were eager to make sure we had everything and that our stay was great. We would definitely come back again and recommend to others.

Great Property and Amazing Beach!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The guest house is spacious and beach is beautiful! The hosts were always available if needed and we will definitely be back in the future. The Boat House restaurant is also so close that we were able to walk there one evening and enjoy the great food. Thanks, Nancy!

Lovely cottage on the water
The cottage was perfect for my husband and me. A short path out the back leads to a beautiful private section of the beach on Lake Michigan. Beautiful vineyards and views everywhere, and a bonus woodland hike a few minutes walk away! Nancy and her husband were delightful and happily provided recommendations for dining and wines tastings! Highly recommend!

Quiet retreat
The guest house is located next to the owner’s home with a shared driveway. It is beautifully redone & has everything you need for a short stay (no washer/dryer). The access to the beach was a short walk with beautiful views! My husband was able to walk it and he is disabled (post stroke). The owners are very attentive to your needs. Communication was easy & efficient. We highly recommend this guest house if you are looking for a smaller property for maximum of 2 people.
