About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sleeps 4
This amazing house was conceived with vacation travelers in mind. Yes we are pet friendly! This house is a Duplex, but every thing is separate except for the dock at the lake that is shared, and I might add is very soundproof! You’ll love this gem of a place because of location. We are close to numerous activities & great restaurants. Our vacation home is located on 16 acre private Lake, right off of US 31, just 1/2 mile from the traffic light in Interlochen.
ONLY 26 miles to the Sleeping Bear Dunes
13 miles to Traverse City
3 miles from Interlochen Arts Academy
17 miles to Crystal Mountain

This special property features 2 separate units that are not connected internally aka a Duplex . Here are a few things people love about The Perfect Getaway
#1 Location, 5 minutes to the World renowned Interlochen Arts Academy, 20 minutes to Traverse City, 26 miles to the Sleeping Bears Dunes National Park, 17 miles to Crystal Mountain, 3 miles to the Blue Bridge Events Centre, 1/2 mile to Interlochen Golf course, 30 miles to The Homestead. Also our vacation home is located on 16 acre private Lake, right off of US 31, just 1/2 mile from the traffic light in Interlochen.

#2 Our house is newly remodeled, the unit is air conditioned for those warm summer days, great effort has went into sound proofing one side from the other, this is what a recent guest had to say (The way the duplex is set up your privacy is not compromised at all. In fact I would of never known we had a neighbor unless I saw their car. We did not hear a peep. Gaea)

#3 The yard, patio & lake are awesome since it allows you to enjoy the best days of summer outside and grill to your heart's delight with the grill and boat found there!

#4 Screened in Gazebo down by the lake.

Here are 3 THINGS TO CONSIDER before renting.
#1 No parties are permitted in our house or property at all times during your stay.

#2 Our house is nice but its not perfect for all people, even though we have put lots of effort into this place there are always small what seem like trivial issues to most that really upset others such as, this is a Duplex, there is not a bathtub we have a stand up shower. There is a step up to get into the house. home is located right off of US 31, Etc

#3 We ask all our guests to respect the neighbors and to not be loud or yell or play loud music inside and outside the building at all times during their stay. We expect our Guests to be quiet after 11:00PM. So if you intend to behave like a party animal, our place is not for you but if you intend to behave like a resident, you should love your stay.
Now that this is clear, let's get to the description of the place!

The Perfect Getaway is located in Interlochen, the center point of activities in the Traverse region.

Reviews
There is a large private lake and dock behind the house, and a rowboat is provided for guests to explore the water. Out back there is also a grill and private deck. Inside there was plenty of room for the four of us. Jeff leaves a list of contact info during check-in, as well as directions and phone numbers for nearby attractions (pizza delivery, golf, arts, breakfast) and a helpful list of reminders.

House was super clean! This was the perfect setup for us to experience our first cherry festival as well as sleeping bear dunes.

Beautiful, clean home that had everything we would ever need for our stay. So convenient to Interlochen and Traverse City

We loved our stay! It was a perfect location to visit Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes. The house was stocked with everything we needed and was very comfortable and clean.

We stayed here while traveling to Traverse City for an event. We loved that it is close to Traverse City but has a nice secluded feel. Located on a small lake, our Labradors had a chance to do some swimming. Very clean, wi-fi, all amenities needed are provided.

During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Interlochen Golf Club. Enjoy features like a water park. The vacation home offers a kitchen and a patio.

The property was in a central location to everything which made it nice. Lake area was nice. We did address some shower issues with the owner. Otherwise nice place for two people to stay.

Interlochen Cabin

Cabin was efficient and clean. Nicely positioned between Sleeping Bear and Travers City. Only about 30 min. away from either. Had hoped to swim in the lake but couldn't. Our dog took a dive and came up covered with weeds. Probably best for fishing. Traffic noise was substantial. unable to sleep with the windows open. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Great Get-A-Way

Great location near wine country and all sorts of restaurants and nightlife. Secluded and quit for wind-down time. Lake access directly with private gazebo's and row boat. They had private patios and small fir pit. The owner was very responsive to messages and communicated frequently. We will return!

Really nice place

My extended family and friends stayed in this location for my son's wedding. This condo is part of a 12-unit place which is perfect for wedding accommodations near the Blue Bridge venue. They all raved about their places. Very clean, unique decor with all the details and accommodations thought through. Jeff was awesome to work with. I was in communication with him on several occasions before the wedding and he was always so responsive. Beautiful views on Tullers Lake.

Great place to stay!

Jeff is a fantastic host! I rented out this property an a couple of his others close by for family and friends and it was so easy and fun being so close! Having a big yard on the water was so much fun and everything is very well maintained.

This rental was beautiful, perfect for my girlfriend and myself, it is very clean, comfortable couch and chairs, very comfortable bed, great communication with the host Jeff. It is quiet! Some reviews say how its loud because it’s closer to the road, definitely not the case, minimal noise, once inside it is almost non existent.

Accommodations near Interlochen

The owner provided delightful accommodations, close to the Interlochen campus where I rehearsed for about a week. The property was well stocked, very clean, very quiet and just perfect for my needs. I will stay there again next year. (I'll bring my fishing equipment next time!)

Great location and accommodation.

GREAT location and clean, comfortable property. Everything you could want in a rental. The only "ding" off a total 5 star review is it's proximity to US131.......HOWEVER, considering it's close proximity, surprisingly, there really isn't a problem with traffic noise. The view in the back overlooking the small lake and screened gazebo's more than make up for any potential traffic distraction. We hope to be back when visiting the area again.

Well maintained, cutely decorated, clean house that was such a pleasure to stay at.

This was our first time renting a house and we are so glad we did. Our one regret was only having the couple days that we did, next time we’ll be booking it for longer for sure!!! Great communication with the owner, clear instructions and expectations when checking out. We are very, very pleased with our experience. Thank you!!

Very nice place to stay. Charming very clean. We had a relaxing weekend away.

Jeff was very accommodating and helpful. He had the handle on rowboat fixed. My husband enjoyed the paddle boat to go out fishing, they caught and released alot of fish. Had s blast can’t wait to come back sometime. It was very close to State Park where my son and his family were camping so made it very convenient to visit them

Side B a hit with us! Birders paradise

This new "doll-house" has been lovingly built and decorated to pamper guests. The deck and grill have a private view of tiny Tullers Lake and the many birds that live between the house and lake. You may use the rowboat, but be careful of fiberglass splinters when moving boat into the water. We donned the provided pfd's, rowed around the lake and were delighted with close-up views of many bird species and the quiet, but not-too-shy beavers swimming/eating near us. Jeff is an attentive host who will answer any questions you may have promptly. We like to cook when we rent a cottage, and the oven baked up our cookies beautifully and the grill was used several time by us. Would rent again for sure!
