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.

My family and dog stayed here for a wonderful weekend. The weather wasn't too cooperative, but we didn't mind because we had a lovely place to shelter in the rain. We played board games, cooked in the well-appointed kitchen, and relaxed in the sauna each evening. Everything was clean and thoughtful considerations were made with comfort and practical items. Thank you!

Beautiful house. Amenities were much appreciated. Perfect size for our family. Great fenced in backyard for the grandkids. Access to the lake was easy and perfect for the kids as well. We will definitely rent again.

Enjoyed the stay at the M22Birch House. Will definitely stay longer next time. Didn’t realize how much there was to do in the area. The house was perfect! The weather was perfect! Couldn’t ask for anything more!

We had a small hiccup during our stay with the stovetop not functioning properly, but Jess was very responsive and was able to find solutions despite the circumstances. The nursery inside the master suite is great for our little toddler, it made nighttime routine and diapering so easy. Overall our family had a amazing time here! It's just 15 min drive to traverse city and close to so many wineries. I would recommend this to anyone who want to explore traverse city with a little one or dog!
