Great house for a group vacation

The house was perfect for our large family, was very clean, and had all the amenities we needed. The location is secluded yet a short drive to TC and Sutton’s Bay. The host was great and communication was timely and clear, would definitely stay here next time!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My family and I had a great time at the nest. The house has been remodeled and updated and is very cozy. The house is also situated on a private and wooded lot with beautiful views. The beds were comfy, and the sheets were soft. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals for a large group and the large kitchen table was perfect too. We would definitely stay here again.

Our families (5 adults and 4 children aged 3-11, plus 2 more adults and a 13-year-old who visited) enjoyed our time together at The Nest. The hosts touched base at appropriate times; the place offered good space for playing games (both box games and digital), making a gingerbread house, reading, sharing meals, and time in the hot tub looking at the stars (and clouds). Beyond the house we enjoyed wine tasting, curling lessons, walking in the area, and together time in an igloo at Hop Lot in Suttons Bay. We appreciated the cleanliness, the ample bed sheets and blankets, the towels for showers and

Sweet Farmhouse

Sweet farmhouse, beautifully appointed while maintaining a cozy vibe. The View of the country road and meadow was amazing. Located right off a rolling country road at the base of the peninsula, short drives to TC, Empire and Suttons Bay. Hosts provided detailed guidebook for eats, hikes and were quick to follow up on questions. Thank you .

Christmas in Cedar

Our family decided to do a little Northern Pre-Christmas. This updated farmhouse was amazing in every aspect. We were pleasantly surprised with the size of every room and extra spaces. The cleanliness, decor, amenities, all top notch. It was the perfect degree of seclusion. Close enough to town and the main road, other homes to be seen yet space in between. We will definitely plan on visiting again!

Perfect fall weekend

Property was just as advertised and has all the things you could need. Location allowed you to feel away from everything but close drive to downtown traverse city and many wineries/breweries. We loved how the place was laid out and decorated, open space but felt super cozy. Kitchen was well stocked and host left some nice touches (bottle of wine, coffee). The host was super responsive and flexible on check-in/out time which we really appreciated. Beautiful setting, nice fire outside at night and the fall colors were spectacular. It was a Pure Michigan weekend!!

Quiet get away, easy drive to Traverse/Leland/Northport

We needed a quiet get away for a long weekend. The house totally got the proverbial bill. It’s outside TC but not by a lot. It has a ton of property surrounding it. Very quiet and peaceful. Nice updates. I’m plenty of room. Hot tub could have albeen a little belt warmer. Very clean. We would certainly rent it again. Fall colors with freash cut agriculture would be beautiful l. Hosts were beyond awesome and communication was spot on

Ladies getaway....perfect!

This property is just lovely.....plenty of room and very updated and airy. The beds are comfy.....the kitchen and d.r. large and handy for preparing meals together and enjoying the open space. To sit in the living room and visit and have that big window with the beautiful view was our first thing to do in the morning and last thing at night....a beautiful gathering place. Everything was thought of from extra linens and towels to hairdryers and fully stocked kitchen. Btw, thank you for the bottle of local wine...very good! The location is excellent...quiet and private yet a short drive to town and to Sleeping Bear and other spots. Would love to visit again! Know that this place is exactly as presented in the pictures....just beautiful! Our family group ranged from a 22 year old to an 80 year old and we were all delighted with this choice.

This was the perfect house for our annual girls weekend, such a cozy cottage vibe. We had plenty of space for our needs and was secluded for a bit of privacy; but still close enough to Traverse City and Suttons Bay that there is plenty of fun things to do. We loved this little space and had a fantastic weekend!
