vacation rental description

Our home is located in Leelanau County, just outside the city limits
of Traverse City. We are about 15 minutes from Cherry Capital Airport. The home is in a very private setting with lots of trees and wildlife yet a very nice view of Grand Traverse Bay and the Elmwood Township Harbor.  It even comes with a fresh vegetable/herb garden for your enjoyment! The home is just under 3000 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.  There is a queen hideabed in the lower level family room.  We have a deck with seating area, overlooking our pond.  There is also a patio at the pond with table and chairs.  Great place to relax and feed the fish. We are about 1 mile north of the city limits. 

house rental amenities

The harbor is right across M-22 from us, along with the public
beach. Cedar Lake is less than 1/2 mile away and great for inland fishing or
waterskiing. You can even grab a couple of our fishing poles and try your luck at the elusive muskie. Less than 1/4 mile away is the TART Trail (Traverse Area Recreation Trail). This
is a paved trail through the woods and over the streams, that runs for many miles. Hop on our
bikes and take a beautiful ride through the woods of Leelanau County or a 10 minute ride into
Traverse City. There are also many golf courses within the area. If you are into tennis, there are
rackets available to play tennis.


The home comes complete with linens and towels. The kitchen is
complete with pans, dishes, coffee pot, microwave, stove etc. There is a washer and dryer for your use. We also have many movies and games available.  There is wi-fi
available for your laptop. There is a horseshoe pit off the lower level along with a firepit.  There is a ping-pong table and darts in the rec room. This home is completely furnished and
ready for you to move in and have all the conveniences of home. Our home does have central air
conditioning if it gets too warm!
We are 5 minutes from Munson Medical Center in case of an emergency!
We ask that any smokers, please refrain from smoking in the home.

Thanks for sharing your home!

Review submitted: February 9, 2010   Date of arrival: July 24, 2009

We enjoyed staying in your lovely home by the bay! We especially enjoyed having coffee outside on the deck every morning and watching all the birds, squirrels and other "critters". Our girls took turns feeding the Koi twice a day! We really enjoyed the pond area! We took walks twice a day through the neighborhood and visited "Maury" the cat who lives several doors down. Thank you guys so much for the wine-we ended up going to Omena and bought 6 bottles! We also visited the French village of Charlevoix and that was very quaint!

From Across the Miles

Review submitted: February 9, 2010   Date of arrival: May 22, 2009

We all thoroughly enjoyed staying at your home! Our kids LOVED the fish pond, the hammock, horseshoes, playing tennis, walking the trails, the board games you left for us and all of the local birds. This was the first family reunion up here for my family, my sisters' families and my parents. It was wonderful arriving here to such a comfortable home after the long 24 hours of traveling from Okinawa, Japan. Our kids would love to stay here much longer if we could. The weather was great and everything was just perfect for our vacation! Thank you so very much and God Bless!
