The four of us were in the area for the wedding of our niece at French Valley Vineyard. The location was perfect. We enjoyed the Heritage Bike Trail at Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Leelanau Bike Trail from Suttons Bay to TC. We have stayed in many VRBOs and this one was head and shoulders above the others. Highly recommend.

Sheila and John’s place is super clean and comfy! We felt right at home! The place was spotless and beautiful! Great location- short drive to everything in the area! Sheila was super friendly and a joy to communicate with! Check in was seamless. We can’t wait to go back!

Sheila is a true hostess and provides more than just a place to stay; offering suggestions for activities and even a bottle of wine upon arrival. You can tell she loves the area and wants guests to enjoy their time in northern MI. The townhouse was clean, well stocked, and felt like home. If we ever go back to the area, I would book this rental again.

Excellent time great location

Nice townhome that was clean and had many household supplies. The pool was clean and nice to swim in, too. Host was easy to get in touch with and prompt with responding.

Great

Sheila is a wonderful host, providing lots of information about the area and responding immediately to all communications. The condo is wonderful - The beds are comfortable, the kitchen very well appointed, and the area quiet and within five minutes of Lake Michigan. We hope to stay at Sheila’s again next year.

This is a great spot with everything you’ll need for a short or long stay. The condo is in excellent condition, Sheila is incredibly helpful before and during your stay, and our family felt right at home! Can’t recommend enough!

Lovely condo, all top amenities, immaculate. Love the location. Close to everything yet off the beaten path. Peaceful surroundings. Grandson loved the pool! It has become our home away from home. Thank you Sheila and John for sharing your condo. Will be back next year!

The townhouse was perfect for our trip to go boating in the area. There was plenty of parking, including extra large spaces for the boat trailer. Everything was clean and comfortable. The kids enjoyed the pool for afternoon and evening swimming. Sheila was very helpful and gave us plenty of area recommendations for restaurants and places to visit.

So many positives that I don’t know where to begin! First of all, the overall feel of the condo was very welcoming and felt like home. The tasteful decor and the beautiful artwork and decorations representing the Michigan/Leelanau area made for a cozy stay. My daughter loved the candle selection and lit a different one each evening. Second, the place was very clean and spacious for my family of 4. We had plenty of room in the bedrooms even after inflating the provided air bed in the 2nd bedroom. There was ample closet space and plenty of hangars. The bed linens and towels were high-quality. Third, many travel necessities were provided. The kitchen was fully equipped with dishes, pots, pans, cookie sheets, kitchen gadgets, spices, etc. which allowed us to prepare breakfast/brunch before we headed out the door for the day. Plus, my kids could prepare late-night snacks! The bathrooms had soaps, shampoos, and conditioners all stocked for your use. Beach towels, extra pillows, and blankets were provided. It was great having a full-size washer/dryer with Tide pods and dryer sheets ready for our use. Fourth, there were travel guides and pamphlets of the area to look through. One that was especially helpful was a guide that had sticky-notes on it with comments of likes/dislikes. Plus, there were books about Michigan and the area that my husband found interesting to read. The jigsaw puzzles were fun to tackle. We did them as a family at night. Be sure to try the wooden one with the intricate pieces! Lastly, communication with Sheila was top-notch. She provided recommendations and responded in a timely manner. She is very friendly and truly cares that you enjoy your stay! Overall, we would stay there again if we are in the area. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful area and fantastic condo. Everything you need is right there in this updated, immaculate vacation rental.

My family gets together in the area every year, so we've stayed at a number of properties nearby. Staying at Sheila & John's condo was a delight! It felt like home. Everything from the big (cleanliness, looking as advertised) to the small (well-appointed kitchen with spices, nice dishes, and cooking utensils in great condition) was wonderful. I highly recommend anyone considering staying here to do so. Thank you Sheila & John for helping make our stay a great one.

Worth a return visit

Shelia and John have an amazing place. The location is great, about halfway between Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes. The condo was well equipped and Sheila was great with communicating ahead of time and offering suggestions. There was a pool onsite which was great for a couple of hot days. This has been one of our most favorite vacation rentals and we would come back in a heartbeat!

This property was beautifully updated and in a perfect location between Traverse City and several adorable little towns like Glen Arbor. The townhouse is less than 100 steps to a pool on the property and has all of the amenities and cooking items for us to make dinner several nights. We love this location and property and it was perfect for our family!

Very nice property and Sheila was wonderful to work with!

We had a great experience at Sheila’s condo. Location is perfect to enjoy all the fun Leelanau peninsula has to offer. The condo was clean, comfortable and extremely well stocked. Communication was thorough and kids loved the pool! Definitely recommend.

Everything from start to finish was excellent. The communication with the owners was the best. Highly recommend staying here for your Northern Michigan trip. Will stay again!

We truly enjoyed our recent stay at John & Sheila's townhouse at Sugarloaf. Their patio probably has the best location of all the condos and it is especially close to the pool. We had so much fun communicating with John & Sheila (texting) learning about their tastes, decorating choices, and recommended attractions in the area. The location is a bit remote, but right in the middle of many great attractions...Good Harbor beach (for sunrise and sunsets), Glenn Arbor (Cherry Republic &river tubing), Leland (Fish town & Verterra Winery), Lake Leelanau, wine trail, Suttons Bay and more. Do not miss dining at Little Travis Inn and Nittolo's. Buy bread at 9 Bean Row, best smoked hot dogs and sausages are at Bunting's Cedar Market and Gabe's Country Store., and play golf at a half dozen locations in Leelanau County, including Sugarloaf Old Course. The nearby ski resort facility is abandoned and an eye sore, but it is being demolitioned this fall so the view north and west should improve. Sugarloaf Town Houses are not effected by the demolition project; however, the area should only improve in the future. The townhouse was very quiet and comfortable. We'll stay their again in the future!

We want to come back here again.

It started with great communication with the owners. Then we got to the condo and it was clean and had everything you could ever need. Another plus was the location. We had lakes, trails, beaches, shopping, and great restaurants near us. Needless to say, this was a wonderful vacation.
