When we arrived, the house was neat, clean, and all ready for our stay. The trip was very peaceful, enjoyable, and relaxing, and the house was perfect for quiet evenings or simply taking in the natural beauty that surrounds the area. There is also a lot to do and see in both Lelenau and Grand Traverse Counties. And you are not far away from these places, either. We highly recommend staying here!

Red Timbers was a cozy home in a great location. We were close to downtown Traverse City and the Leelanau Peninsula with so many excellent restaurants and wineries.The house was spotlessly clean and comfy. Even with 3 adult couples, it was cozy.And the backyard with the firepit was a favorite!The kitchen is the one area that needs TLC. The ice maker in the refrigerator was not hooked up and 2 freezer shelves collapsed on a regular basis. The kitchen sink is old and stained.A few improvements would make this house a 5 rating.

Great place near Traverse City!

We enjoyed our stay with our two adult children and 2 dogs. The house was clean, had ample space for us to have our own rooms & great amenities in the kitchen. I really appreciated the quiet neighborhood to walk the dogs in the morning. It’s about 15 min to drive into Traverse City and Cinch Park Beach and the beautiful Lake View. Not far from many farmers markets and wineries. We visited the Sleeping Bear Dunes & Empire, Michigan on one day. Then traveled up to Mission Point and stopped by a winery and lavender farm another day. We took a recommendation from the Guest Book and went to V.I, Grill in Sutton’s Bay and really enjoyed the beauty of Michigan. Thank you for having all the basics you need in a house - there was ample paper products, washer/dryer, cooking utensils & even some spices. Great stay!!

Wonderful Winter Getaway

We stayed here while visiting the Leelanau peninsula in March. It was comfortable and everyone had what they needed. The house was beautiful! There was a lot of snow on the ground so we were unable to use the back yard/deck but it looked beautiful!

Also enjoyed s’mores in the firepit and great memories making family dinners together in the beautiful kitchen! Plenty of room in driveway for boat/trailer/truck and another large SUV.

Clean and great location

This place was in a great location to access Traverse city and everything the leelanau peninsula has to offer. However, the place, while immaculately clean, is not updated and doesn’t seem worth the price we paid for it. The yard appeared to be fenced in at first glance but we soon saw that the gate was broken so we couldn’t let our pup out. The beds were uncomfortable and the kitchen could have been better stocked. Also, the downstairs shower was broken so we essentially had access to 1.5 showers rather than the 2 listed. Not a bad place but lots of room for improvement!

Nice Place

Had a great time. Property was clean and well equipped. Automatic sprinklers came on and hosed us down while trying to enjoy an evening bonfire, and the checkout process of stripping linens, dragging trash can to street, and washing towels seemed excessive given what we were paying, but at least the house felt clean.
