The place was awesome and located in a perfect area! Our dog Camden loved the backyard and we thoroughly enjoyed the sauna. We’d love to book again in the future .

Jess’s place was perfect for our winter getaway. We love coming up to traverse city especially when there’s snow. You have a beautiful view and you’re right in between many wineries. The kitchen was fantastic, everything you need to cook, house was warm, you couldn’t feel any cold air coming in. TVs were smart, able to watch with no connection issues. Beautiful proposer and can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful home, lovely view, peaceful location. Really enjoyed the sauna and being out of town from TC. There are some great walking trails nearby. Jess was very responsive and friendly.

Having a fully stocked nursery, high chairs and toys for our baby was such a game changer! The house was great, awesome kitchen/dining/living area, and the fenced in yard was great for our big door to run around! I'm telling everyone with kids about this place - so great!!

What a wonderful house and host! We stayed at Jess’s place for a multigenerational long weekend. The house was exactly as pictured/described and Jess is a thoughtful and extremely responsive host. My mom has limited mobility, so we are always on the lookout for places that will be safe and comfortable for her. I reached out to Jess with a question before booking and she responded instantly and had a handheld shower nozzle installed ahead of our stay to make the bathroom work better for my mom. The space is nice and open and there are minimal flooring transitions, which works great for her. The view is beautiful with spectacular sunrises every morning. We took full advantage of the fire pit and sauna, and the nice long driveway was a hit with our skateboarding children. The beds were cozy and comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we could possibly need. We had so much fun exploring Suttons Bay and the Leelanau peninsula. We will definitely be back!

We were looking for a cute and quaint place to stay while in town for a wedding and Jess’s place checked all the boxes! Checking in and out was super easy and the house was stocked with the essentials. Plenty of space for our party of 8 and our dog.
