30 mins. from Traverse City! Quaint retreat. Perfect for two, centrally located.

Relax in a quaint, clean, and cozy place w/private entrance! My place is 45 minutes from popular peninsulas and attractions, 20 minutes from Cadillac, and 30 minutes from Traverse City! We live upstairs and this is a small downstairs unit for yourselves. Our backyard has woods, and a small pond. It is peaceful. Across the street is beautiful all-sport Fife Lake. (There are houses in the area). In the winter, there are numerous snowmobile trails. Free parking for snowmobiles, 4 x4, a trailer or boat is available! So much to do in the summer with all the wineries, sightseeing and shopping in Traverse City! The beautiful and popular North Country Trail is only a mile away from the house. In the winter, you can park your snowmobile at the Upper Bar, and relax inside by their fireplace with a drink and/or warm meal. Your space here is a large bedroom with a small living area and sofa, full bathroom with tub/shower combination, and a small kitchenette/laundry area (no sink in the kitchenette). In the kitchenette, there is a microwave, small toaster/broiler oven, and a small fridge and freezer. Coffee pot and coffee provided w/cream and sugar cannisters. Relax at the dining table while looking out at the birds or sit at the pond in the morning with your coffee! Enjoy walks along Fife Lake, too! The village provides three restaurants and an ice cream place. Closet storage, wifi, TV, w/Netflix, Amazon, Roku, Fire TV Stick. Iron and ironing board, closet space, hair dryer, shampoo and conditioner & use of W/D. Two kayaks and two-person Paddle Boat available. Guests must transport to boat launch nearby.

Beautiful retreat
Relaxing place to stay. Host checked in to make sure we had what was needed and responded quickly to questions. The property is beautiful and quaint. There were wild trilliums in bloom outside the bathroom window. Fresh flowers in vase on arrival, and there were goodies in fridge and on table. Location was great for daytime adventures and we even got to see the northern lights walking around Fife lake one evening.

Best host ever! Peaceful & serene location
Tonya was the best host we have ever had! She really puts her heart into making sure her guests feel welcomed and comfortable. There were several personal touches, including fresh flowers, mints & chocolates, snacks, and cold drinks in the fridge. She thought of everything and then some! The property is so serene and peaceful, from the moment you get out of your car. It is a small town getaway that felt like home away from home. Tonya really went above and beyond!

Great Little Apartment on Beautiful Fife Lake
This is a wonderful little retreat in the woods and was perfect for me and my husband for a nearby wedding. We spent time in Traverse City and Interlochen with short drives for both. Apartment was clean and cozy and just what we needed. Tonya is a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome!
