We had the best time at the Shady Eighty! The property is beautiful and the cabin provided everything we needed! We had 7 adults and 3 children. There was plenty of room for everyone. The property and cabin were extremely clean and the space was cozy. We enjoyed the hot tub, sitting around the deck bar in the evenings and playing pool! It was close to so much- Sleeping Bear Dunes, Sutton's Bay, Leland, Traverse City, Glen Arbor. A quick drive through the country let us enjoy a lot of beachside towns- shopping and eating! We also spent one day at Empire Beach- The setting with the bluffs on both sides was beautiful. It is rocky for a bit in the water, but you eventually get to sad a couple yards out. The beach had nice bathrooms and play structures and picnic tables. John was so attentive to any questions I had and provided a lot of great suggestions on places to check out. I have stayed at a lot of rental properties over the years and this was the best overall experience I have had!

We had a lot of fun there, nice location, a lot of different games and the most important is outside hot tub. Recommend!!!

Property was as described. Plenty to do inside and out. Hot tub a big plus. The seclusion of the area nice. 3 car garage roomy. Enjoyable stay for sure

Great place all around!! Beautiful outdoor setting, neat and clean, tons of space. Great communication from the hosts. Pool table was a huge plus for our family! Would definitely stay again if headed that way.

We had a blast at this place! We played countless card games, pool, and enjoyed the hot tub even in the frigid and snowy weather. John was great responding to our questions and we had a blast at the tubing hill at Timberlee at his recommendation. Enjoyed lunch and shopping in downtown TC as well. Basement was chilly but we had plenty of blankets to keep us warm. Highly recommend.

Perfect spot to experience Michigan in the fall. The home is spacious and beautiful and the property is picturesque. The owners are very attentive and make your experience is everything you want it to be. Great place to slow down and reconnect with family. Many nearby things to enjoy. Climbing the dunes, hiking trails, lovely wineries and a spectacular sunset cruise on the lake. I highly recommend and look forward to visiting again.

We were very impressed with this property and the responsiveness of John & Kelly. There was plenty of room for our group that was in the area for a wedding and followed by a few days of vacation. Our group consisted of people from Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, New York and Florida. We were able to spend time together without feeling crowded. John & Kelly we’re always very responsive to any question we had, usually within a few minutes. We would definitely rent this property again!

The house was spacious and clean. It was well supplied with everything you need. The large yard and driveway was a hit with the children, and the 3 car garage was a bonus. We also enjoyed the back deck with bar, grill and hot tub. The location is great to visit the many wineries, breweries, the dunes, and the many small tourist towns. Something for everyone!
