Luxury Waterfront 2BR w/King Suite

5 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviews1 month ago

We had an amazing stay at Victoria’s place! The apartment was even better than the pictures — super cozy, spotless, and beautifully modern. It had absolutely everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect for anyone planning to ski at Granite Peak Ski Resort — super convenient and easy to get to. What really stood out was Victoria’s hospitality. She allowed us to check in early, which gave us a stress-free start to our ski trip. Later, due to some personal reasons, we requested a late check-out, and Victoria was incredibly kind and accommodating. Everything about our stay was fantastic, and we’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

Wooded waterfront retreat with hot tub & fire pit

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 40 reviews2 months ago

We went up for a ski weekend and it was the absolute perfect homebase. The kitchen was great, the beds were spacious and comfortable, and there was plenty of room for everyone to do their own thing while still being very communal. Amazingly convenient for Granite Peak and plenty of room in the garage to store heaps of gear.

Jessica is an amazing host. There were so many extras. We loved the kayaks and canoe that they were kind enough to let us use. Spent most of our day in the water. Very clear water. Kid friendly. A zillion stars at night and coffee with the pretty Sunrise. We were ages 3 to 64 and all had a blast. We never wanted to leave. Fast response to questions. Easy check in. Easy to find. Clean. Had everything you need to cook. Many fun places near to explore. We even fished for Salmon. We highly recommend and would love to come back. You will not be sorry if you stay. Thank you Thank you

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.

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.
