Beach house with amazing views
This property exceeded all our expectations. From the well appointed house with everything we could need, to the amazing views of east bay, and the beautiful beach. We capped off each night with s'mores by the campfire on the beach while we watched the sunset and then viewed the stars. To top it all off the owners were excellent to work with and accommodated all our requests. We'll definitely be back!

Relaxing beach home
What a great relaxing home to stay at on the bay. We had seven of us including three teenagers and we had plenty of space. The views from inside the home are amazing and even better on the deck and beach. It was nice having AC on the hot days we were there. The home is comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed. We will certainly try to make it back to this home next summer.

Amazing
If you are looking for a secluded quiet getaway with an amazing private beach and gorgeous views, this is the place to stay. The house is clean with two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs. Full baths upstairs and downstairs and a half bath also upstairs. It also has a charcoal grill and fire pit on the beach. My husband's favorite part was the grill and fire pit. Thank you Carole for an amazing stay!!

Everything was great, however the house was musty when we arrived and any clothes hanging in closets retained the musty smell when arriving home. Suggest that air circulation be run even while the house is unoccupied to remove the musty odor.

Amazing view and private beach
The house is very spacious and it's located right on the lake with it's own private beach. The property is located in a quiet area off the main road but still close enought to Traverse City. Carole was very quick to respond whenever we needed to reach out.

A Beautiful Spot
This is a cozy house with beautiful beach access on a lovely stretch of sand. House is well-appointed and somewhat remodeled, somewhat rustic, and dog friendly which was very important to us. It was perfect for our friends' weekend. Our host was always available for questions and checked in to make sure we were happy.

Fall weekend getaway!
Absolutely beautiful and very rustic. Nice location. beds are a bit firm so I would recommend that you bring an egg crate to put on mattress if you need a softer bed. When we first entered home we noticed it was musty, but no different that a cabin that has been closed up for a while. We got a couple of plug i. Air fresheners and that took care of the problem. No gas grill which was great because we haven't used o charcoal grill for a very long time. Our Pork loin turn out amazing. Best we've had in a very long time. Sitting out on the deck was probably my favorite. Very comfy Adirondack chairs. Enjoyed our lake view while sipping on my coffee. And the views from the main floor bedrooms were AMAZING!

Beach, Lake Views, Mid Century Decor - Wonderful
A wonderful place for our family get together. Location was secluded, but only a short distance from Traverse City. We enjoyed the beach (chairs provided) and the nice view of the lake out the window always present. The working upstairs fireplace was nice to sit around in the evening. We wanted to sit on the beach some nights, but the wind and rain prevented that, so the fireplace was a nice backup plan. Would recommend this location.

Beautiful open floor space looking out at the water
This house is a mix of old and new. The old is unique decor. Almost castle like. Its really cool. Its cozy and comfy and has a lovely view. Lots of windows lets you enjoy the outdoors from within (colder weather) I especially like the kitchen set up. It faces the water. It has a huge dining table and counter seating. Beds were comfortable. Two separate living spaces would allow families to share the cost. Carole the owner was very easy to reach and answer any and all questions. Would definitely recommend.
