This place was very nice and very well taken care of. The location was great. We planned a short weekend getaway and this place was perfect . We would stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0
We came up with 2 other families for a last bit of summer. The property was centrally located for our plans, which was very convenient. Property was as listed & all communications were quick & helpful. Would rent there again.
10.0 / 10.0
Our group had an amazing time at this property. We had 6 adults, 2 toddlers, and 2 infants and there was plenty of space for all of us. The property was very clean, something very important to us with the babies on the ground. Check in was very easy and we had a couple of questions throughout the week that Michael was very prompt to respond to. The location was perfect, very centrally located to everything we wanted to do so nothing was more than 20-25 minutes away. The property makes you feel like you’re in the wooded mountains, but then you can drive to the beach very quickly! It really is the best of both worlds.
10.0 / 10.0
The house and property were beautiful. Location between Sleeping Bear and Traverse City was great. We even took a day trip up to Mackinac Island one day. Communication from the host was fantastic. He replied to every issue promptly. When the gas grill wasn’t working very well, he ordered a new one and had it delivered the next day. The only negative comment we have is that the grass hadn’t been mowed so we couldn’t play yard games that we had brought with us. The host tried to remedy that issue but the mowing crew never showed up. Overall, though, we would definitely recommend this property.
10.0 / 10.0
Host very easy to get hold of. House has small attention to detail. Centrallly located to many attractions. Had a great stay for a 50th Girls weekend. Would definitely recommend.
10.0 / 10.0
We had a wonderful time staying at this spacious but cozy cabin. It was nice and quiet but close to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City but was also comfy to just relax and stay in during bad weather.

10.0 / 10.0
This property and the host are wonderful. The cabin is in a great location and is laid out perfectly. Highly recommend for families, groups or just a quiet weekend up north.
10.0 / 10.0
This is an excellent cabin in the woods. It is very well appointed, cozy cabin. The cabin is located an easy, quick drive to downtown Traverse City for all the shopping, dining, and other needs you may have. Highly recommend this for a great family vacation spot.
10.0 / 10.0
Very strategically located property. The one missing information on the listing was about how close the property is to a pretty busy road.
10.0 / 10.0
Selfishly, I am reluctant to leave a review. Reason being, the secret will be out on how wonderful this property is. It truly is the one!
My family and I have been visiting Up North for years. Multiple times a year, typically at various rentals. This has been the best one yet. No frills, no fluff, but everything you could possibly need. The definition of cozy. The property is wonderful and a great location between various must see spots. Truly, no complaints about this property what do ever. We will be back, many times over.
8.0 / 10.0
Stay was nice location was within 20 min of Travers city and sleep bear dunes nice central location for both. Cabin was clean and plenty of room for my family and my in-laws.
8.0 / 10.0
This is one of the nicer vrbos I have stayed in—nice plush beds, well stocked kitchen and very clean. I would definitely recommend and would stay again
10.0 / 10.0
The property was the cleanest rental I have had in a long time. The property grounds were spectacular and had everything for the family; great fire pit, large driveway, sandbox for the kids, walking path. We cooked multiple nights and was well stocked with everything we needed. The house had a perfect set up where each bedroom had its own privacy from everyone else. The location was good for everything we wanted to do. 20-30 minutes to everything; sleeping bear, traverse city, Glen haven, fish town. Lake Ann is only 10 min away. Would definitely stay here again and would recommended it for all families
8.0 / 10.0
It was very nice. The only but, is the tv in the upstairs bedroom with the twin beds is in a terrible location. Three people shared the room and we all hit our head on the corner of the tv. One person hit her ear on the corner and required ice to take down the redness and pain. But otherwise it was fantastic.
10.0 / 10.0
The Sleeping Bear Lair is a wonderful place to get away from it all and relax! The house was exceptionally clean and well stocked. We loved the cozy and relaxed feel during our long weekend stay.
