Every year we pick a different part of our beautiful state to explore. This property made it easy to rest, relax, and check out the area. The house was a great spot to chill out and listen to the birds. There was a feisty squirrel that visited a few times. It was comfortable when we all hung out together and spacious enough for us all to spread out.

We were looking for a place that had water, a boat, and privacy, and was also reasonably close to the essentials - like beer, groceries, and a few restaurants. We also wanted something central to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Frankfort, and Traverse City, and this place checks all those boxes. Cedar Lake was small, but also very quiet. We enjoyed the short rides in the boat, but the best part was turning off the motor and drifting with the loons for a while. The well water is strong, hard, iron-tasting well water. Bring some bottled water if you aren’t certain that you’re good with drinking it. Bring a wetsuit, bring some hammocks, bring your need for relaxation, and also maybe bring a scented candle, and you’ll have a great time here!

The house was great. We wished it hadn't snowed. Thought about kayaking. The kitchen was nicely stocked. Long walk with the garbage cans though....

The cabin is amazing. The location is secluded back in the woods and right on the lake. Only 15 miles from Traverse City. We will be back.

We planned a year in advance for this very special Christmas and it was totally worth it. Our Christmas was magical! we all loved the place, the well equipped and clean place. All indications received from the host were very useful. We were a large family group and it was so nice that we were all comfortable,. We loved that the kitchen was FULLY equipped! we enjoyed the game room, outdoors, every place of the house. I highly recommend this place. Thanks

We’ve been doing this same trip for MANY years and the choice we made to stay here was every bit worth it! We will stay again!

Every year when the guys go hunting us women get away for the weekend also. We are hunting but it’s not for deer. Usually we go to a particular casino but this year we wanted something different. We cannot say enough good things about this property or the owners. It was a very easy process from start to finish. Anytime I emailed the host she responded quickly. The property was well maintained and very nicely decorated and very very clean It was inviting and you seriously felt at home. Due to the weather ( rained everyday) we didn’t get to sit by the lake and have bonfires and enjoy the view, but none the less it was a great time. Thanks again for helping us have an amazing weekend. 💙💛

We stayed here with my friends to join the iceman cometh challenge 2021. Location was 30 mins away from the finish line. Our stay was flawless, we had a good night sleep each night. The cabin was cery clean.

Our entire family as well as my brother’s family enjoyed this vacation in Traverse City. We had two couples and FIVE children! There is an area in the lower level that allowed all the cousins to hang out and have fun. They played pool and PS2 games that were supplied with the home. I think they played some board games too. This allowed the rest of us to catch up without nearly the amount of noise as we thought there would be. We watched movies, had a bonfire and in the morning my SIL and I took the kayaks out while our husbands took the kids for a hike. We didn’t find a cider mill but we did go to Moomer’s for ice cream (a must stop.) The entire home was extremely comfortable and we slept wonderfully. All in all, this was the perfect get away. We were concerned about bringing all the kids, but the lay out of the home made it so we could all bond without stress. This will be a yearly tradition. Thank you!

We stayed for a week at the end of October for a family wedding in the area. The colors were beautiful and the cabin was a cozy home away from home during all the festivities! We had plenty of room and enjoyed the fire pit and the deck when the weather allowed. We would love to come back during the summer to enjoy the lake!
