Dog Friendly, West Side Country living with hot tub, pool table, fire pit

NOTE: this is not the full house. This listing is for the lower level walkout with private entrance that is part of my home. VRBO doesn't have a display option for this set up. The listing is not for an entire house.

Welcome to your new Home Base perched at the top of Cedar Run hill on 3 spacious acres with cherry and apple orchards lining the back of the property. Relax in the country even though you are only 4 miles straight shot into downtown Traverse City. Just 10 minutes to downtown TC shopping, dining and all the events while offering you a quiet and restful nights sleep with a great view of the stars from the hot tub.

This West Side walkout features a private master bedroom with queen sized bed, and a huge shared space bedroom with two queen sized murphy beds. Worry not - the murphy beds are also new with very comfortable new mattresses and 600 thread count sheets. There is a newly updated full bathroom and 2 separate spaces to get ready for your adventures, so there's plenty of room to relax.

The family room features a full sized pool table, coffee bar area with microwave and refrigerator, high top table, and a sliding door straight to the outside where you will find a 4 person hot tub, gas grill, 2 picnic tables under the shade trees, and a fire ring to relax in the evening. Experience quiet country living just10 minutes to downtown, Farm Club, Twin Lakes Park, Long Lake swimming, and several hiking trails nearby. Our favorite, Moomer's Ice Cream, is only 1.5 miles away! You're also less than 30 minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes, wineries, and all the scenic drives the Leelanau Peninsula has to offer.

Accommodations feature a private keyless entrance, outdoor area, and plenty of parking. There are steps down to the entrance, or a walk down the sloping lawn, so please note that fact. Evening hours are meant for winding down and enjoying a campfire or hot tub. Moderate enjoyment is encouraged, please no loud parties.

The owner, Karen, lives on the property on the street level and is happy to interact or respect all the privacy you desire. Need shopping or dining ideas? I've got you covered! If you would like breakfast prepared for you just let me know 24 hours in advance and you can have "bed and breakfast". Additional fees apply based on menu and number of guests.

If there's anything you need, let me know, and if I can I will. Laundry is available as needed.

We are dog friendly, and do require prior approval and conversation before you bring your dog as the owner lives with her two dogs on premises. A purebred German Shorthaired Pointer named Katze (which is Kitty in German) and a small Malti-poo named Kitty. Both dogs are friendly and social, especially the little one! Our property features an invisible fence to keep the babies safe, and depending on the size of your dog, we are happy to share collars so your pet can have some freedom to roam and play (supervised of course) on our three acres.
