We had a very nice time. The home was neat, clean, and spacious with a relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed a nice, quiet setting out in the country and had the time to further explore the Traverse City and Leelanau County area. We would recommend this home for a nice getaway. Very peaceful.

Perfect Michigan getaway
We had a lovely time up north. The red barn home was everything we were looking for in a place to lay our heads after long days of sightseeing. It was such a peaceful location but close enough to all of the places we headed to. Would stay again!!

Great location for a family getaway
We really enjoyed staying at Red Timbers. It's in a great location, peaceful and secluded. And not far from many attractions including; Sleeping Bear Dunes, Fishtown, kayaking, golf, downtown TC, and Timberlee Hills. Plenty of room for our dogs and family.

Great family vacation!
The home was beautiful and comfortable! Perfect backyard for the grandbabies to play and evening family games were played on the back deck. Also enjoyed s’mores in the firepit and great memories making family dinners together in the beautiful kitchen! Plenty of room in driveway for boat/trailer/truck and another large SUV. We greatly enjoyed our trip and your home. Thank you!

Thank you so much for a home where we felt comfortable and we had everything we needed there. The extra thought of having the doggie dishes was perfect. The location gave us the advantage of going to traverse city or Lake Michigan with ease. We would definitely stay here again.

Clean and great location
This place was in a great location to access Traverse city and everything the leelanau peninsula has to offer. However, the place, while immaculately clean, is not updated and doesn’t seem worth the price we paid for it. The yard appeared to be fenced in at first glance but we soon saw that the gate was broken so we couldn’t let our pup out. The beds were uncomfortable and the kitchen could have been better stocked. Also, the downstairs shower was broken so we essentially had access to 1.5 showers rather than the 2 listed. Not a bad place but lots of room for improvement!

Nice Place
Had a great time. Property was clean and well equipped. Automatic sprinklers came on and hosed us down while trying to enjoy an evening bonfire, and the checkout process of stripping linens, dragging trash can to street, and washing towels seemed excessive given what we were paying, but at least the house felt clean.

A Nice Surprise
My wife and I just spent 5 days at Red Timbers. It was one of the nicest homes we've stayed in and excellently appointed and stocked. The location is 10 minutes from Traverse City but overall the location is perfect to explore all of Leelanau County; Suttons Bay, Leland, Glenn Arbor, Sleeping Bear sand dunes, and the Pearce Stocking drive. The master bed was incredibly comfortable to sleep on and that is something I am a real stickler about. We lived in Traverse City for over 20 years and know the area extremely well. That being said, we will stay here again given what we felt was it's perfect location and great home.

The house is gorgeous and plenty of space for 3 adults and the dog. Location is great, there is so much to do in the area. bonus - parking space in the garage, especially with the snow overnight both nights. Driveway wasn't plowed but we drove Jeeps, shoveled the walk to the house ourselves.No biggie. overall 5 stars, my Beagle was totally relaxed too!

Quiet and cozy, only 15 minutes from Traverse City
Red Timbers sits in a lovely little neighborhood with no through traffic only 15 minutes from Traverse City. The pictures do the accommodation justice, with all being as anticipated as we arrived. Very clean with good quality linens and towels. The kitchen was surprisingly well stocked with utensils and had a small cache of 'left over' coffee and spices to avoid a trip to the market for small purchases. Though it is 'mentioned by omission', note that you'll have to bring your own bath soap and shampoo. Not a big deal - everything else you need is there. We will consider this property again on our next trip to the region.
