The small house was just what my wife and I needed for our stay. The location was convenient for our travels around the area. The coffee and snacks provided were much appreciated. We especially liked being able to enjoy our bottle of wine by the lake in the evening.
My husband and I stayed here & had a great time! It’s a nice and quiet location but conveniently located near everything in TC. We enjoyed coffee on the deck on the lake which was super nice. We also took the canoe out one night and the lake was so beautiful & serene. The house was clean & had everything we needed :)
We loved our stay at the house. My husband enjoyed kayaking on the lake in the evening, The house had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Proximity to Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes was great too.
My husband and I had a wonderful time at this charming cottage on High Lake. The place has everything you would need to relax or be busy. The hosts Mike and Maureen were friendly and welcoming giving us recommendations from hiking to restaurants etc…. Will stay there again.

We loved our stay at this property which was conveniently located to Traverse City. The host communicated clearly with us and met us upon arrival. The property is very clean and had everything we needed for our 2 night stay.
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. Mike and Maureen are great hosts. The property was very clean and so quiet. We enjoyed sitting out on the dock and listening to the loon.
Loved staying at this cottage! Hosts were great, and every need was anticipated. Setting was absolutely gorgeous and peaceful. Perfect headquarters for our weekend in TC. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much to our hosts Mike and Maureen!
This cabin is great for any couple looking to get away. It had all the essentials for our weekend trip to see Sleeping Bear Dunes. You’re still close enough to the downtown core of Traverse City that going to the beach, going out to eat (we recommend Mama Lu’s for some amazing street tacos), or going shopping is no burden. However, you’re also far enough back that at the cabin you can truly relax, enjoy nature, and appreciate the amazing lake view. Mike & Maureen are great hosts, and for our next trips out this way we will try and book this stay again!
The place was as nice as the listing promised. It was quiet & stocked/ furnished with everything we could need & was clean & fresh. The bed was comfortable, the lake view, beautiful! I’d happily book with them again!
Hosts were very personable, and accommodating. House was fully furnished and very clean. The property is very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. All the beaches, shopping and restaurants are just a few minutes away. We enjoyed every minute of it and had a great time.
