Wonderful family vacation!

Our family had the most amazing time at Brittany’s beautiful home on Old Mountain Rd. We biked, fished, hiked, played golf at Manitou Passage, watched beautiful sunsets at the beach, and played games around the bonfire. Her home is so serene and well stocked with towels, kitchen utensils, and games. We would love to return to her Old Mountain home if we go back to the area. Thank you, Brittany, for sharing your lovely home!

Great location and home

The home is in an ideal location to reach many popular Leelanu areas. Beautiful & tastefully decorated home with more than enough space for 6 adults. The home was clean, comfortable beds & the kitchen had all we needed. I appreciated the additional/thoughtful touches—extra pillows, blankets, sound machine, fans & a variety of games. We enjoyed the outdoor lighted deck for meals & relaxing. You won’t be disappointed!

Winter wonderland

We went to Michigan in search of snow and found plenty of it. This Chalet was clean and just as it’s described on the VRBO site. It was located right in the 7th fairway of a golf course which afforded us plenty of opportunity to hike through the snow! And it was located close enough to Traverse City to enjoy the culinary excellence of the city. This was a home run.

Perfect Peaceful Loved it <3 <3 <3 <3

This property looks like an up north ski house on the outside and a Santa Barbara villa on the inside. Its gorgeously, simply renovated by the owners themselves who are so lovely and there for you when you need them. Even if you get lost. Its up on a bluff in the woods, the deck is so great to hang out on, the sleep quality in the silence is amazing, wifi, privacy, golf course peaking through the woods, charming, stocked, brand new everything, its fantastic, and not even totally done yet, they are doing a superb job, they are so on their game, and you will love staying here, if you are a nature lover, peace, quiet, no scene (but with so many nearby scenes) just off the m22, I just though it was perfect and would return in a minute. All yeses, all awesomeness, every second of it. Thanks you guys, keep up the great work! See ya again sometime, <3 <3 <3 Lw

Tranquil setting

The home was well appointed in a peaceful wooded setting. We enjoyed having a bonfire every night. The location was extremely convenient to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, Fishtown, Traverse City, restaurants and wineries. This made it very easy for us to see a lot of the area attractions in a short period of time. Would definitely consider staying again when we are in the area.

The house was beautifully decorated and had many thoughtful features. The kitchen was well equipped. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck. The house is wonderfully surrounded by trees and on a very quiet street. My family really enjoyed our vacation at this house and would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Home in Secluded Location

We enjoyed our stay at the Old Mountain Escape. The home is in a secluded setting, was well maintained, and the owner was very responsive when we contacted her. The deck was very pleasant to relax on, and we had a great time using the paddle boards at Good Harbor Bay. We will definitely consider staying here again the next time we visit the area.
