Peaceful and relaxed!
The property is just as advertised and quiet and relaxing! We fished a little and relaxed on the dock one evening. It seemed like we always had a nice breeze and we experienced no bugs! The setting on the lake is beautiful and the accommodations were great. We had one issue with a toaster and the owners replaced it in minutes! Wonderful tiny house to experience!

Perfect Getaway
We booked this site because of the lake access and it did not disappoint. We relaxed on the dock and enjoyed the calm and serenity the lake had to offer. The house was perfect too. Had everything accessible that we needed and even extra toothbrushes when my husband realized he forgot his at home. Mike and Maureen were excellent hosts and had everything ready for us and communication was great. It was also a quick and easy drive right into downtown TC. I highly recommend staying here and it will definitely be our go to when in Traverse City again.
