Sharon and Dave are excellent hosts and lovely people. We very much enjoyed our time on their beautiful farm and hope to come back for another visit to walk the trails, visit the animals and soak up all the peacefulness and beauty. And maybe we’ll get as lucky with the amazing fall colors as we did this time. Thank you!
Tower in Empire
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviewsExodus: Luxury Tower With Hotub Near Sleeping Bear
Secluded stay just outside of Empire and a short drive to everything that Traverse City and the Leelanau peninsula has to offer. We enjoyed having the short drive to a few of our favorite hiking trails and still being in close proximity to the local wineries and bars. The home is a beautiful and very modern place to stay with the very basic amenities covered well. We enjoyed having access to the hot tub as well!
Rental unit in Traverse City
5 out of 5 average rating, 53 reviewsCondo central to breweries, wineries, hiking!
Stayed for two nights in Rachal's AirBnb - had a wonderful time. Place was a newer apartment close to downtown that was spacious, pristinely clean, had easy parking, and well-stocked with kitchen equipment. Rachal was a very friendly and responsive host and instructions were clear to enter apartment. Overall, enjoyed the place a lot and would definitely stay again!
Home in Traverse City
5 out of 5 average rating, 35 reviewsGarden House near West Bay and Wine Trail
Liana's house was ideal for us in every way. It's comfortable, very clean, and conveniently located in a cute neighborhood. The house has a vintage charm that has been maximized by all the creative, eclectic touches from the owners. For example, most rooms have a nightlight, but each one is unique and doesn't even look like a light at first. The bath and kitchen are updated with great fixtures/appliances, and anything you might need is readily available. It is the opposite of the kind of Airbnb where the whole place is outfitted from one shopping trip at a big box store. My two small dogs were with us, and they loved running around the fenced in yard. Three feeders attract birds, and we enjoyed some fresh cherry tomatoes from the garden. It's just a delightful place.
