10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (87)
"My husband and I and our 2 friends had a great time staying at Turner Empire! Everything was spotlessly clean from kitchen appliances, cupboards, drawers and dishes to bedrooms and bathrooms. The rooms were nicely decorated with fun fall decorations! There wasn’t a speck of dust anywhere! There are lots of fun activities and places to explore nearby. We enjoyed hiking in the dunes area, a play in Traverse City and a fabulous dinner at Trattoria Stella! The owners are very nice! I highly...

Charming & renovated airy Train Depot turned cottage steps from Lake Michigan
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"This lovely old train depot makes an airy nest snuggled up against Sleeping Bear Bay. Steps from the very quiet and gorgeous beach, and tucked into very pretty woods not far from the Crystal River. I can’t say enough about how carefully and perfectly decorated this home is. It’s got super high ceilings, old tall ornate glass windows and hardwood floors. The owner has great taste and a real eye for mermaid and seaside art. The kitchen is spectacular, with top end brand new appliances. Very...

"My friend and I wanted to get away for the weekend to catch up, so we decided to go with this cabin. It was perfect for what we needed - super cozy, the beds were comfortable and clean. The only complaint I have as far as cleanliness was the amount of dog hair that was on the couch/living area. Otherwise it’s a great location right next to downtown! I would recommend."

Incredible Glen Lake waterfront cottage with deck, firepit, water views & grill
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (3)
"Loved the location right on sandy beach, very shallow and short walk to marina to rent boat. We used the fire pit, went on rafting toys although water a bit cold this time of year. Short drive to grocery store in Glen Arbor and hiking/biking trails nearby. Went to Sleeping Bear for hiking 2 times, went to local restaurants and saw fireworks across the lake last night. The stars are so close you could almost touch the handle of the Big Dipper!"

"Property is fine. Management is not. I Sent a question Saturday before my Sunday arrival- that I needed answered BEFORE I got there. Got answer, a stupid wrong answer, on Wednesday. Yep - 4 days to answer a question. Gad a problem with misleading entry instructions. By the time they answered, I'd figured it out. ALL communication is via text - no humans"

one bedroom camp in the woods minutes from Sleeping Bear National Park
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (7)
"The owner and the property were absolutely great, but i am NOT a fan of Vrbo. It was my first time using it and will likely never use it again. Air B&B all the way. Everytime trying to log into the app it need a verification email sent and approved. Sometimes you actually receive that email and sometimes you do not. The day we were set to leave, I still didn't have access to the app to get my access information to the property."
