This was our second stay and we couldn’t wait to come back! Such a beautiful home that’s so comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed to cook meals, spread out and relax and enjoy the views. The beds and linens and very nice and comfortable. We love the split layout with the primary bedroom upstairs and two nice bedrooms and a second living room downstairs. We love this location and will definitely return again! The host is very responsive and even accommodated us for an extra night when our flight was delayed.

New! Clearwater Cottage with Sandy Beach Access

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviews7 months ago

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The location is perfect. We walked to town every day. The cottage had everything that we needed for our stay in Northport. The place was very clean and well appointed. The owner was so kind and helpful. She helped us when we got locked out and provided good info about the area. We hope to stay at the cottage again next year if we vacation in Northport.

Lake front cottage in the heart of wine country

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviews10 months ago

We (and our dogs) had an amazing time at Nathan's beautiful home. The setting is ideal—the house is right on the water, the amenities are fantastic, and the neighborhood is beautiful and serene. The house has everything you would want. There is a sweet deck and outdoor area along with a dock and your own private beach—the next house in either direction is almost a half-a-mile away. The perimeter around the house is essentially fully-fenced, which allowed us to swim, paddle board, and hang outside with the pups without worries. Nathan is a great host: He checked in throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. He provided clear instructions about the house and its features, as well as great local recommendations. We really can't say enough great things about our stay. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing trip we've had and look forward to coming back soon!

Traverse City Waterfront Home

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviews5 months ago

Gary was a great host. The home comfortably fit 2 adult couples for a long weekend stay. We are regular visitors to the area and the view is second to none. Bedrooms were comfy & kitchen was well stocked. Price was very reasonable for what the home had to offer. If I had a complaint it would be that it wasn’t the cleanest. I understand it’s up north & fall time but a simple sweep of the bugs at the front door and organizing the back patio would’ve helped. I also understand that the garage is normally used for storage but this particular weekend it wasn’t so it would’ve been nice to use all the amenities the home had to offer. With all that said I’d still rent from Gary as he was super responsive and helpful with any requests.
