unique getaway
Overall the stay was great - place was neat, well organized, and everything was very easy and accessible. Super unique location, but the fence made it feel very quiet and private and away from everything, which was exactly what we were looking for. Great to be so close to downtown but feel like you were out in nature. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something unique and quaint but only a few short miles to downtown TC.

Best long weekend getaway!!
We were wowed as soon as we opened the door. So clean, spacious and it has everything we needed. The hot tub was awesome and also very clean. It was close to everything. We did some hiking at sleeping bear dunes and had a wonderful dinner at the Artisan. The lake and the views exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Klein

Host profile image
Hi, we're your hosts Lauren & Tom!

We're a married couple who shares a love for all things hosting, our two pups, and new adventures. After years of visiting our favorite place, we decided to move from Grand Rapids to Traverse City in the pursuit of happiness. Days were filled with working too many hours and spending too much time apart, so we packed up and began our new journey.

As a team, we started from managing one rental home to owning our own and could not be more grateful for the opportunity to share our love of hosting with our guests.

We believe that no matter whats going on in life, its important to take time away, recharge, find new adventures, and create fond memories. Our mission is to provide the best possible stay in hopes that you and your loved ones are able to experience all of this and more.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Lauren & Tom

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home after a long search, to find a unique space that embodies what we love so much about Northern Michigan. While still being in a great location, central to anything someone would want to do in the Traverse City area.

Nature is always one of the most important things we look for in a home, as we're definitely outdoors people. The balance of finding that with still being centrally located isn't easy. When we came across this cozy cottage, we just know that this was the one, nature in the city!

It truly represents Northern Michigan in any season, but you're still so close to anything else that you'd want to do. :)

What makes this property unique

Mitchell Creek is absolutely what sold us on this home. It's amazing that you're next the State Park beach, the Tart Trail, and right in town. However the scenery reflects the secluded feel of Northern Michigan.

We stayed in the home for 6 months in the Fall of 2018 to the Spring of 2019 while we remodeled it. Watching the wildlife throughout the different seasons was unreal, we couldn't believe the variety of wildlife on the property, while still being in the city. From the Salmon running up the creek in the fall, to the Steelhead in the Spring, Mallard ducks mating, a northern mink fishing after a heavy rain, or the deer that would come almost right up to the window! It's a very special place, and you never know what you might see!
