Cedar Creek Cottage Idylic Setting | Close To All

Summary:
This charming cottage situated on an especially lovely large wooded lot is oozing with style and comfort, and is just perfect for a get- away. Your hub is serene and relaxing, yet close to town for dining, shopping, entertainment and beaches. The interior spaces are light and airy, and you can see and feel the property's natural abundance from every room.

ALL guests must be 25+ unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The Space:
2 Bedrooms- 1 Queen, and 1 Full, 1 trundle (twin)
Fully equipped kitchen for cooking meals, however, there is no dishwasher. Consider this an opportunity to bond with your travel mates in the old fashioned "you wash, I'll dry" kind of way. There is a large flat screen TV for streaming your own service accounts.

Guest Access:
Welcome to northern Michigan, where our wintertime weather can swing from glorious to ferocious in a flash. Each of our properties has snow removal service scheduled to plow with each snowfall amounting to at least 3 inches of snow. If the vehicle you bring is not 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive, please be aware of the potential risks accessing the property when snow is present.

The Neighborhood:
This off-the-beaten-path cottage sits on a private wooded lot, with a babbling brook flowing through the length of the back of the property. Beyond the stream is a large area for a fire pit and a small hiking trail takes you to the top of a beautiful overlook. The grassy side yard feels like it goes on for miles and pops with colorful flowers in the summer.

The local TART trail for long walks is less than a mile away. Empire Beach - on the shores of Lake Michigan - is a 30 minute drive from your door, as well as some of the most stunning hiking trails in the US. (See cover of Dec 2020 National Geographic.)

Getting Around:

If the amount of damage exceeds this, or if the damage is found to have occurred with malicious intent, Golden Swan retains the right to seek damages beyond that amount.

Dogs are allowed with an additional fee, with a maximum of 2 dogs. Please be advised that it is absolutely imperative for all renters to keep their dogs on a leash at all times. While we truly appreciate and value pets, ensuring that our furry friends are leashed or properly secured is of utmost importance to us. Please take your pup with you or kennel them when you leave the home. We cannot have lonely barking dogs left at our property. Please be considerate and clean up after your pet.

High chair and pack n play available upon request for an additional fee.

Proximity rules!
So close to Gallagher farms and the wedding we attended that this cute house also let us explore the Lelanau bike path and down town traverse city. Natural creek in the back yard was perfect to recover from a long run. The house is cute and perfect for our small family with a small doggie. The location was phenomenal and the management was w to our random concerns.

Early September stay
Very nice property, good location for both accessing Traverse City and the Leelanau peninsula. Good communication from host, clear instructions. Cottage was very clean but the living room furniture had a clear noticeable dog smell. Wifi worked fine, but no local tv reception (streaming was fine). Very satisfied, no other complaints.

Quiet Spot in the Trees
Our family of three enjoyed a quiet weekend here. This cottage is a good value, with comfortable interior and all the amenities you would hope for. We loved the huge yard and the backyard fire pit. No neighbors within view and light traffic on the road out front made the experience quiet and enjoyable. Communication with our host was excellent. Would book this property again.

Nice Stay
We stayed for a few days and the property was fine. Quick responses from management when needed. This is a pet friendly space and there was a lot of pet hair throughout the home so keep that in mind if you have sensitivity/allergies. Also, there were a lot of bees on the property so we weren’t able to enjoy the yard as much as we had hoped. The price difference from VRBO to the property management website was really shocking - really surprised to see how much we could have saved NOT booking through VRBO so that was really unfortunate. There was a nice park nearby that we visited frequently and it was a quick drive to downtown and amenities.

A Quiet and Peaceful Traverse City Getaway
The property was very neat, clean and ready for a quiet stay. Pet bowls were provided for our miniature poodle as well as a leash and even a "doggie raincoat." The house had a "cottage" feel in addition to a warm charm and a nice backyard setting for evening relaxation. The rooms were nicely arrayed so as to add both privacy and accessibility to the service areas. A real treat!!

Sweet Little House
The house and properly are so cute. The house is small but could use a little better on the air circulation. We were there and it was rainy and the house seemed to be very damp (as were our clothes). I did speak with the management company and gave them feed back and hope that they can use it. I wish the weather would have been more cooperative so we could have done more outside by using the firepit, swing and other outdoor games. The wi-fi/internet/service is not the best (but you are in the woods). For our family needs, I think we'll need more bathrooms, but the space in the bathroom was adequate. We really enjoyed it despite some issues.

Very clean and quaint
The house is very clean and well decorated. The property is super nice with a killer back yard and flowers everywhere. It is extremely close to downtown Traverse and reasonably close to Leelanau, Suttons Bay, Lealand etc. Unfortunately, we had some power issues after some rain but the management team responded promptly and the electric company was there and servicing the transformer within an hour. Great location and great host...thank you!

Very clean and great location
The property is located in a great location, the property inside and outside was very clean. The property was well equipped with just about anything you need to have a comfortable stay, such as a new outdoor grill, an enclosed garage, a washer / dryer and any cleaning supplies you may need. The outside property is wonderful for a family fire, a great childs swing near the creek and very dog friendly. Would definitely recommend for a family of 4.

The Best!
This is a sweet spot! It was perfect for the two of us and would accommodate another couple or kids! The back yard area is wonderful with a lovely creek. We sat out every evening with our pup Rosey! She loved it too! We were in Traverse meeting with builder and interior folks who are building our retirement home. It was a prefect spot to sit back and relax after some busy days. Absolutely no doubt we will rent this again as we return diring house progress.

Really Nice!
Wow! Huge lot, no traffic, super convenient to downtown town TC and Sleeping Bear Dunes area. The place was the CLEANEST Vrbo we have ever stayed at. Also the best property for staying with a dog that we have EVER visited. Over the four days we stayed we got 10-12 inches of snow, and they kept the driveway cleared. Highly recommend. Also, Traverse City, MI is a great place to visit in winter.

Really Enjoyed Our Stay!
Our family stayed here in early February (two adults and one 20-month-old). The location is great - within 10-15 minutes of Great Wolf Lodge, the Children's Museum, local library, and downtown Traverse City. The house was very neat and clean, and had everything we needed. There is no dishwasher, but that was not an issue for us. There is a fire pit in the backyard and other toys and games in the detached garage. Katy was excellent to work with, and was very responsive with answering any questions we had. Check in and check out were simple as well! Thank you, Katy, for allowing us to experience your home!

We take a week each year for a trip away from the suburbs of Detroit, timed to capture the beauty of the Fall in Michigan. We have visited the Manistee area for many years and decided to try a new location. This spot has a lot to offer. It's not only close to Traverse City, but many other towns and attractions. The home is clean and comfortable. The property was great for our one-year-old German Shepherd. She was in heaven chasing her frisbee. We had a awesome time away from the day to day.
