MURRAY ACRES: A modern farmhouse @ 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City

Comfortable home in the heart of the Grand Traverse Region....This is a renovated farmhouse situated on 10 acres-with a pond and fire-pit. It's the perfect retreat after days of sightseeing!

This area has earned a place on some of the best "Top 10" lists. Traverse City is a 'foodie' town with many options to fit a budget. You could easily stay a week and not see it all. From the lakes, beaches, and rivers; the eclectic towns scattered throughout the region; golf; kayaking; lighthouses; concerts and events; hiking and biking trails; museums; casinos; wineries, breweries, and distilleries; the now famous M-22 driving tour...This place has it all!

We know that vacations are often few and far between. The home is equipped with everything you'll need to have a comfortable and carefree stay. We are local hosts that are available should any needs arise. We are willing to help you understand and enjoy this unique area.

Highly recommend

We had a great weekend and truly appreciated the spacious, clean and heart warming home. It was very well organized with everything you need. My family and I road on the Wheels on Rails on Saturday and we were less than 5 minutes from there. It is a prime location if you want to visit Traverse City but be away from the hustle of the city. Nice backyard with a great fire pit. 5 starts sir sure.

Okay.

Our overall experience was okay. They are not super quick to respond. House was clean and nice set up but the upstairs gets extremely warm. Make sure you see it is almost 20 mins from downtown Traverse. They charged us for a couch cleaning and when I asked what was wrong with it I got no reply.

Vacation with lots of driving

The host told us that the house was located few minutes from downtown traverse city. In reality, it was 20 minutes from downtown traverse city. We had to drive everywhere we went in the city, instead of walking and riding our bikes to locations.

Time Away in Traverse

We head up to Traverse every summer to meet up with friends. This was the house we chose this year. The house was beautiful, had a nice outside and everything we needed inside. There were a few issues during the stay that the owners took care of during the trip and worked with us to solve. We are talking about possibly coming back here next year.

Beautiful Home outside of Traverse City

This was a great place to stay for a trip to Traverse City. Our group spent the days out in the city and this was perfect place to crash after days of fun.
