About this property

If you are looking to be smack in the heart of cherry country, wine country, apple orchards, Sleeping Bear Dunes country, and Lake Michigan's pristine beaches, you are HERE! We are literally two miles from the gorgeous beach of Lake Michigan! Why spend high dollar on hotels that are far from the action when you can enjoy an entire house within minutes to all of the best features you're looking for? This beautiful home overlooks Countryside Gardens - a real working nursery! You can pop down and say hi to owners Sheila and Ozzie if you want. Or, take off for the day up to the most pristine beaches in Michigan - literally five minutes from the house! Visit Traverse City - a 20 minute drive - for Cherryfest and the air show or shopping and great culinary events! At the end of a long, lazy day at the beach, either come back to the house and grill on the back deck and take it all in or stop in at any one of the local restaurants for some home cooked meals. Countryside Gardens is exactly where you want to be to experience Northern Michigan at its finest!

Family Wedding Getaway

The house was very nice and spacious. Plenty of clean towels and comfortable beds. The living room furniture was very comfortable, the cable had plenty of channels, and the internet was stable. My only complaints would be that noise carried though the place like there weren't any walls and there was a spot of mold growing in the top of one of the closets. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful home and location

My husband and another couple have stayed here several times. It is always very clean and so close to main attractions, especially the Leelanau Wine Trail. We will stay here again next time we are up that way.

Weekend up North

This was the cleanest rental we have ever checked into. The property is exactly as described - bedrooms are spacious, living room very comfortable and home was well equipped. Beach chairs were a bonus! Not much in the way of walking available near the home but not even 5 minutes down the road at you are at the beach. Centrally located to many area attractions. Hosts were easy to speak with and efficient with their check-in procedure.
