"We stayed at Chris’s place over Thanksgiving. It was beyond our expectations! The home is so cute and cozy. Chris has spent a lot of time making it a home away from home. It has everything you could need and more. We visited nearby Empire and drove into Traverse City which were both short distances. You don’t even need to leave the house, though! We loved the outdoor space in the winter, and saw a family of deer right outside the door. The perfect, cozy winter getaway!"
- Laura
"This cabin was the ultimate getaway in a chaotic year. The fresh snow and fall leaves made the warm interior especially cozy. We spent time watching the snow fall outside the window, reading next to the fire place, and enjoying the Hygge lifestyle. Clean, aesthetically pleasing, and inviting. All you could ask for in a short term rental."
- Julie
"Beauty, Serenity, romance, and a little piece of heaven. Pictures can’t do this cabin justice, and words aren’t enough to describe the experience you receive when staying here. Our host, Chris, is 100% accommodating and very quick to respond to anything. The area is so peaceful and safe, Traverse City is a very cute/romantic place to visit. This cabin has everything you need in order to take a break from your daily routine. Loved it and will 100% return!!!! Thank you Chris!"
