Would recommend staying here

We loved our stay at the Sugarloaf condo. A perfect landing place for our family of 7. Location is ideal within easy driving distance of Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, Good Harbor Beach, Leeland and Traverse City. So much to do and explore in this area! The condo was as described - casual and comfortable. Easy access to the pool and our kids played soccer in the yard. We would definitely stay here again.

The beds were comfortable, there was everything we needed. Very nice.

Great location to see the surrounding sites! Unit was clean. Would like to have had a few more towels and it would be nice to have an extra towel bar in the bathrooms.

Property was nice. There were a lot of strict rules and had to sign a contract- which we never had to do before. No issues though.

Very quiet. Lovely surroundings. It would be a stretch for 8. Ideal for 4. We had family at Glen Lake so spent days there.

John communicated with us quickly every time: before, during, and after our stay. The property was clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, the bathrooms were fine. The pool was not open, nor did it have water in it. We visited Memorial Day weekend, but it was not open on Memorial Day. There were nice walking paths in the area. You will have to drive at least 10 miles to get to any restaurants. I would definitely stay again.

My family had a regatta at Fountain Point Inn and this townhouse was in the perfect location. It was very clean and easy to find. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice location Ease in booking

We were very pleased with the property and communication with the owner was very helpful. This is a great property with so much to see and do in the area. Will definitely return…

Staying here made us feel like we were in a private mountain community with beaches just around the corner! Pool was a great bonus. Our kids enjoyed the various streaming services on the TV. Clean, comfortable and plenty of room for the 6 of us. Very close to Leland which is our favorite spot. Hope to be back!

A friend and I stayed here with our kids. The location was great for seeing the sand dunes and cute, quaint towns. Kids loved coming home to a pool too.

Great place for a jock getaway

Right in between two great up north towns, Leland and Glen Arbor. If you are looking for a nice spot to stay up north. This is the spot.

We have used VRBO before and we have never had an owner either make you buy and insurnace policy for your stay or demand a deposit about 10 times the nightly room rate before. We are not the type of people to trash anything so I almost didn't do the insurance, however I did not like the wording around the deposit policy so I opted for the insurance instead. The last night of our stay we tried to run the dishwasher as instructed for the checkout policy and we immediatly got a horrible smell of sewage that spread throught the condo (and lasted for about 3 hours). Nothing leaked, just something was wrong with the dishwasher. I texted the owner about it immediatly and he told me to stop the cycle and they would have it looked at, he though it was plugged. (all we put in the dishwasher were coffe cups and wines glasses) Yesterday I got an email from the insuance policy that a claim was made for the dishwasher. The dishwasher was not working properly when we got there. I contacted the owner immediatly when I realized there was a problem(which I didn't have to do), however IF I HADN'T purchased the insurance policy I can only imiagine that I would be out alot of money for an issue we didn't cause. This is just a heads up for anyone else considering renting this property. This seems pretty underhanded to me.

Location centralized to Traverse City, Fish Town and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Expected impeccable Townhouse because of insurance purchased and copious instructions. The townhouse was clean but needs a little TLC. Better instructions would help as to where towels and sheets,etc. for occupant 5 & 6 are. Finally found in master bedroom in closet. If we were going to use advertised portable bed there would not have been enough sheets/pillow cases. One extra towel was in master bedroom and one in 2nd bedroom but no washcloths for our 5th and 6th occupant. The living room was missing a bulb in one of the lamps. One of the lamps in master bedroom didn’t work. You are asked to wash your dishes before you leave but the coffee cups we used we felt we needed to wash before using. They had a gritty feeling. I feel just having occupant load used dishes in dishwasher for cleaning agency to wash would be a much better option and much more sanitary. The throw rugs is the bathrooms appeared dirty so we rolled up and didn’t use. As I said with a little TLC and this would be a great place to stay. These are small fixes but I feel are important.

Perfect location for day trips to sleeping bear and traverse city

Very easy renting process. Communication with the owners was top notch the entire time. The location is perfect for access to beautiful little towns in the area. All around great experience and definitely would recommend to others. Hoping to return again someday.

Enjoyed our week there with the grandkids. Great location, nice pool. Owner was awesome. Only negative was uneven deck boards, tripping hazard, but owner is contacting HOA to fix ASAP. Would stay there again!

My family had an awesome stay with John. Felt like a home away from home

Had a great stay. Clean and close to Good Harbor, and all my favorite places.

This townhouse is located right in the middle of Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes which made it easier for us to visit both places with no much hassle. John has been very prompt in responding right from the very start that made us comfortable to communicate with him. Since the town home is old, it requires some deep cleaning in all areas. Entry key was placed in a difficult location near trash box that caused discomfort to access. Given that it is an old home, all the appliances were worn out and need some work. We experienced a foul smell as soon as we entered from kitchen sink but was fixed upon reporting within no time. Kitchen utensils need to be washed/replaced with some new dishes. AC unit was a bit noisy but did it's job. The only main suggestion would be to have deep cleaning done asap. All in all, since the location was perfect for our plan-we did have some good time in this home. Patio is a nice area to hang out. The property owner's impressive and prompt responses compensated few glitches in home.
