Perfect Family Get Away

Absolutely fell in love with this property. Spacious and clean, comfortable mattresses and luxurious down comforters. Beautiful location with a huge deck overlooking forest. Tonya & Sonya were great hosts! Will be going back to experience winter in the chalet.

Top notch!

We loved our stay at Wanderlust! The property is nestled in the woods with space enough for the entire family and even more room to spare. We were 8 adults and 5 kids. The kids enjoyed their own space with bunk beds. And the oversized bean bags were a great add to the living room! The cabin is quaint and charming. We liked that it was very clean and the check in process very easy. We will definitely be staying here again!

Skication 2022

Our family lives Shanty Creek and the Bellaire to Traverse City community. There is something from everyone to do. We had a big crowd this time and this house did accommodate us all. It is older and had a faint septic smell in one of the bedrooms downstairs, the owners did say they would look into it. But the house was fun, the stay was great. The owners accommodating

We ended up having a very nice time but when we got to property it was very musty in basement and kitchen cubbards.. there were mouse traps throughout middle floor and 5 year old granddaughter almost picked one up . We did see a dead mouse .. the grill was very small .. so had to purchase a grill, get propane for properly grill, get 2 Candle air wicks and air freshener .. the cleaning people were waiting for us to leave at 955. Check out was at 10. Floors creaky and only one basement entrance .. none off deck .

Not the best vrbo.

We have been renting vrbo’s for many years. We have always had great experiences. This one was not so great. We were very disappointed with the water pressure issue. We had no water pressure. When they reached out to me they told me there has been issues. But we were never told that. We were told they had new plumbing in and to run all the faucets for 30 minutes. They said they had been having these issues. But we were never informed about it. So none of us were able to shower the entire weekend.

Great for multiple families

This property was perfect for a multi family vacation! Plenty of spacious sleeping rooms, more than enough space for everyone to eat and having access to the beach club was perfect!
