My husband and I spontaneously wanted to spend a weekend up North. As first time AirBnB users we weren't really sure of what to expect. Sarah and her husband were very hospitable during our stay. They made sure we were well taken care of from check-in to finish. We recommend staying with them if you are looking for a nice clean place to stay near traverse city! Sarah and her husband also offered some cool spots to go to in the area (activities, restaurants, etc). They were nice, friendly, and resourceful!

Sarah and her husband were great hosts. Their place was so cute and kept very clean. Sarah was very helpful and easy to contact with questions. I would definitely stay here again.

It is hard to find the right words to describe what a positive experience it was to stay in Sarah and Steve's lovely home. Perfect comes close. My room was lovely as well as the guest bathroom. Everything was so clean and tastefully decorated and I felt right at home the very first night during my extended stay. The bedroom had a window and the view was gorgeous with the changing leaves on the many trees outside. One morning I saw a deer! Sarah provided extra items I could use if I had forgotten anything and there was a sweet welcome tray filled with goodies. The location of this new home was also perfect. I was only ten or 15 minutes away from my internship in the neighboring town. My hosts also gave me the privacy I wanted, yet were so personable if I needed company complete with laughter and two precious cats! Sarah is an amazing cook and was very generous to offer me a chance to indulge in her freshly made and healthy dishes. They were so helpful with answering all my questions about the area and surrounding towns. When the heater in my car died, Sarah graciously recommended her brother to repair it. He fixed it a a fraction of the cost of an earlier estimate. This was amazing!

Excellent location, near Traverse City. A quiet and friendly neighborhood. Very nice house, like the room. Wonderful hosts, with great interest in helping and giving information about the sights to visit. I loved being there! I recommend this place.

My girlfriend and I felt privileged to be the first to stay at Ashley's home. They were very welcoming. Their home is only a short distance away from downtown Traverse City (about 15 minutes), so it was very convenient. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Having our own private bathroom across the hall was an added plus! Her husband was also nice enough to hook up Netflix in our room, something that we haven't had at other AirBnB's. We would definitely recommend Ashley's place to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay in Traverse City.

The house was lovely and Ashley was very accommodating. The bed was comfortable and nice and close to the bathroom. The house is pretty secluded and peaceful, but close to town. It was a great stay!

We had a great week at the cottage. Lauran was very communicative and honestly the cottage was way better than the pictures. I would totally stay here again. If you haven't been up to Traverse City before, its a beautiful area and the location of the cottage to all the areas attractions couldn't be better.

The cottage was a perfect fit for my family. We enjoyed the lake with kayaks that we brought ourselves. There was plenty of water fun to be had with the floats and paddle boat provided. The lake and property are well taken care of. Stargazing around the fire pit and listening to the frogs was so relaxing. When not on the lake we visited Old Mission Lighthouse, Downtown Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Moomer's Ice cream is a must!! So good!! This was our first time but definitely will not be our last.

Great place for the price. Lois is very nice and helpful. We had a great time staying here!

Clean, comfortable place to stay. Lois was responsive in communication, and the house was fully stocked with all the essentials.

Very close to downtown Traverse City. There was plenty of room and overall, a great place to stay. Lois was a fantastic host!

It was a wonderful stay, very very clean. When I locked myself out, she was there to respond right away

We needed a house with enough room for our family (5 kids) close to the soccer tournament we were attending. It was clean and comfortable. Just what we needed.

It was a short stay, I enjoyed my stay at Lois house, it feels like staying at my own home. Thanks Lois.Next time would like to stay for longer duration.

Lois was a great host. The house was great. I hope to get to come back next year. Loved it Lois!!!!!! Thank you so much for having us.

We loved the cabin/house!! It was really comfy even with just 1 restroom we had a great experience, for sure we'll be back.

Great experience! Everything was as Paul and Jean said it would be. Had a great and relaxing time. Perfect get away!

Beautiful place and a friendly host!

If you are teetering between this listing and another, pick this one. This space is gorgeous. Plenty of space and all the amenities you could want and then some (the bathroom is awesome and the shower is wonderful). I only wish I had visited when it was a bit warmer to fully take advantage of the large balcony/deck. I hope that this location is available next time I visit TC, because it will be my first choice.

Susan was a fantastic host! The apartment was very clean and spacious. Much better than a hotel!

We could not be happier with our stay. The apartment was large, clean, quiet, well-appointed, and private. Susan had thought of everything we may have needed. The location was perfect for our stay of 3 days. 15 minutes or so east and we were in downtown Traverse City. A little farther the other direction and we were in Glen Arbor.

Susan's place was wonderful! Everything was just as described and she was very attentive. She always responded to any questions we had and even prepared a fire for us while we were out at dinner. Everything in Traverse City was within a very reasonable distance. We were able to do all that we wanted. We really appreciated the bathroom amenities provided. I highly recommend Susan's AirBnB!

We had a lovely time visiting Traverse City, Leelanau State Park, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. This location was in the heart of everything. In addition, Susan was very generous with great travel information that added to our vacation experience. There were several great features about our stay. We arrived to find a pie for us to enjoy. The room was wonderfully decorated. It was great to have access to a refrigerator, stove, dishes, and cookware in the kitchen. The setting was quiet and peaceful. The deck was amazing and you can grill out if you like. As an individual with two genetic disorders, it was imperative that there were no pets, perfumes, etc. as living with those things lands me in the hospital and are life-threatening. It was great to be able to stay in this location and not be put at risk. We are looking forward to coming back again and again. It's a great place to stay.

Four of us stayed with Susan. Everything more than exceeded expectations from the cherry pie Susan left for us to the comfy beds to the spacious bathroom everything was fantastic. Thanks again Susan!

Comfortable, clean, and felt like a home away from home. I took a 3 night trip to Traverse City with my wife, 3 month old, mom, and grandma. This apt had plenty of space for all of us. Susan, our host, was kind and accommodating. For example upon arrival she had, what felt like, a 5lb apple pie waiting to greet us (from TC pie company). Another example, my mom had the key and my wife, baby, and I had returned to the apt first and Susan happily let us in. Also checkout was at 11am and without hesitation Susan let us checkout at noon. Location is an easy 15 min drive from downtown TC, 38 mins from Sleeping Bear Dunes, has solid wifi, and a beautiful deck I wish we would have used more. My advice is take advantage of the fire pit and the trail you can find at the back of her yard.

Very nice hosts. Close to TC.

Jim was very helpful and attentive. My boyfriend and I had a very peaceful stay. The location was convenient; right outside of the city, nice quiet area. The place was clean and well kept. The bed was nice and comfortable. Glad we stayed!

Jim was very attentive as we arrived for our stay. The place was fantastic! Very clean and cozy with a big and comfy bed. There was a Keurig machine with lots of k-cups, snacks, water and a little fridge. It was only about a ten minute drive into downtown Traverse City. My girlfriend and I would definitely stay here again!

Jim's place was perfect! Close enough to downtown Traverse without any of the noise. His space was clean and cozy. Will definitely stay there again.

Very beautiful inside and out! Would recommend anyone to stay there! Well worth every penny!

Jim is a great host and the house is clean and decorated. We were very impressive and we would like to recommend this place to our friends.

The space was clean and quiet with its own drive apart from the house. They went the extra mile to making us feel welcome by providing snacks and homemade bread! It was a short 15 minute drive through the countryside to downtown TC. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

One of the best Airbnb experiences I've had, with lots of attention to detail. A private guest house on their property, it was very comfortable and stocked with amenities (like a coffee machine!). They had banana bread waiting for us which was very nice :) Thanks for a great experience!

What a beautiful vacation home! Loved the view, location, price and all the amenities that made us feel at home!!!

Warren and Mary made my guests and me feel very welcome. They were unable to give us a tour of the home and be there when we first arrived, but they made sure to have someone there to greet us and assist if needed. They offered directions and were great with communication.

Beautiful, secluded location with spectacular views of lake. Easy to get to restaurants and venues. Home is very welcoming, clean and has everything you need for a group. We had a great time on our "girl's weekend"! Thanks Warren and Mary!!

We loved the coziness and spaciousness of the house. The hostsmake sure you'll have everything you need to enjoy the house, from mosquito sprays to beach towels, table tennis and toys for kids. We felt comfortable since the first moment we stepped into the house. We found home made ice cream and candies on the counter along with a nice welcome note. Definitely a good experience.

The most lovely house I have ever stayed. The owner are really warm-hearted. They even restore the breakfast supply for us. So sweet.

Warren & Mary were excellent hosts! They were available immediately if we needed anything. The house is beautiful, roomy and right on a pretty lake with its own private beach. It is tucked away in the woods where we saw deer and wild turkeys. Traverse City is only 10 minutes away with restaurants, shops and the Bay. Highly recommend!!

What a pleasant experience ... Mary and Warren are a lovely couple that did everything they could so we enjoy the weekend at their wonderful house. Looking forward to another trip at their house in the future.

The Cozy Cottage was absolutely wonderful, great for a long weekend away. The view over the lake and sunsets are stunning. Joni is lovely and helped us with anything we needed. We definitely want to come back in the summer!

Great location, beautiful view to wake up to. It was perfect.

Joni's cottage is an adorable place on a small lake, perfect for a weekend getaway. It had everything we needed, was clean, and felt like home. If you want to be close to Traverse City and it's attractions, make sure you map it because you do need a car to get there. We had a great time, thank you Joni!

What a treat staying at Joni's getaway. Everything was just as it looks online. The highest of recommendations. Joni was a great host!

Joni was the perfect host. She welcomed us to the property and showed us everything. She was attentive without being overbearing, and she went above and beyond to address an issue with her DVD remote. The property itself is situated on a beautiful lake, and I think we will be back in the summertime for sure!

This was our second summer at Joni's cottage for a week's stay. Everything meets and exceeds the description. A small, quiet lake, a clean and comfortable cottage, fire pit, kayaks, a great location. Very welcoming to us, and to our dog. Thank you again, Joni!

Joni provided a clean, lovely environment to stay for the weekend. We would come back for sure !

Our stay was perfect! Our host Joni was very prompt in responding to questions via text. The place was just as described.

Love, love, love!! Reminded my parents of the cottage they grew up doing to with their grandparent on Lake St. Clair. Would absolutely recommend!

Classic "Up-North" home on a beautiful lake in a great locale, central to the wineries, Sleeping Bear and TC.

We had a wonderful time at the house. It was clean and charming.

Rustic. Plenty of space if you want waterfront rental with a small group or with your family. Affordable. No frills.

Absolutely charming cottage! Perfect spot for a long weekend. The location is awesome. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but close enough to enjoy it too. Fred was a great communicator and made sure everything was to our liking. Plenty to do at the cottage too. Games and puzzles provided for cool relaxing nights, fire pit next to the water for great conversation. My friends and I plan on making this a yearly trip. Highly recommended!

Overall we enjoyed our week stay at this Long Lake cottage. It rained extensively while we were there (in September) so we did not get to enjoy the lake as much as we would've liked. We were able to kayak once, and though we attempted fishing we never saw one single fish the entire time we were there, and the water is very clear for quite a ways out so it would've been easy to spot them. The wet weather also made the house a bit damp and chilly, but we packed sweaters and blankets so we were ok with that. The house is bigger than the pictures let on, so for 2 of us we had more than enough space. The view of the lake was gorgeous and we woke up to 2 full rainbows on separate days which were beautiful. The location was really what we liked best about this place. Its very close to Traverse City for quick trips to town, and we were able to do day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Mission Point and Bellaire.

Had a great stay at the Tough cottage. Everything was just as described. Nice area with great views of the lake. Plenty of places to sleep and there were even games and books available for use. Would stay again.

The listing's pictures and description are accurate. The view can't be beat, although I'm partial because I summered on this cove for years! Like other old-school cottages, you must supply your own linens and pillows. This is typical for cottages in this area, as renters usually drive to their vacation spot, and can bring all those necessities. If you're flying into Traverse and don't have room in your luggage for linens, like I did, stop at the big-box store, Meijers, to pick up inexpensive supplies. WiFi was surprisingly fast! Check-in and check-out was easy!

Great hosts, very accommodating! Great location; short driving distance to the beach!

Lovely hosts - very warm, kind and solicitous. They offer a clean, warm, quiet home - my niece and I had the upstairs to ourselves - very comfortable. It was snowy and beautiful while we were there; I'll hopefully return again during another season to explore the forest trails Arnie and Dzidra have right from their property. Highly recommend!
