We loved our stay at the Sweet Retreat! The house is spacious and relaxing. We were impressed at all of the outside activities available-rowboat, kayaks, paddle boards, fire pit, outdoor eating area with umbrella, and large inside table for eating and family games. We made great family memories. Gail was super and responded to our few questions quickly! We loved our stay!
Great property and owners make sure all amenities are there for not only the house but the lake with the kayaks and paddle boards, fishing equipment in the garage, charcoal for the grill and wood for fires. Make sure to take lots of bug repellent for the evenings! Great location to get to Sleeping Bear and also Traverse city.
Such a nice house in a quiet area on the lake. I really donât think the pictures are reflective of how nice this house is. The house is beautiful and clean. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need for your family. We had a great time exploring the area with our family.
This home served as our family vacation spot. With 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths it was ideal for our stay. The home is fully stocked with supplies, an incredible garage for evening corn hole games, extra refrigerators, and lakefront on Bass Lake. The dock and swimming area was one of the best with a sandy beach, access to kayaks, and paddleboards. Our kids and our grandkids made wonderful memories playing in the lake all day. The fire pit was ideal in the evening for smores, laughs, and great conversation. Communication with the owners was timely and they are genuinely wonderful people to work with. The home is everything as described on the listing and we would highly recommend!!! Not all VRBO stays are this amazing. Highly recommend this home and all that comes with it!!
This lake house and its grounds were beautiful! Gail and Roger went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Communication was excellent! The kitchen was the most well equipped one I have been in. The large dining table was great for meals and playing games at night. The double and queen bedrooms allowed privacy and had amazingly large closets. We enjoyed the sandy beach, floating in the water, kayaking, fishing, paddleboarding, along with rides on the pontoon boat we rented for the week. The patio off the house was enjoyable for eating outside, reading or just visiting with family. Access to the large outbuilding was great for storing our things. Having the 2 extra refrigerators were great as well. We loved the large outside area for yard games and enjoyed 2 nights of bonfires and s'mores. We got to know the Interlochen area and discovered Cicero's Pizza, the Farmer's Market, Tom's Grocery, Kate's Icecream, St. Ambrose Cellars, Oaky's Tavern and Bud's. We also ventured out...Leland Fish Town, Traverse City, Point Betsie Lighthouse and Frankfort. Some of our group golfed at Crystal Lake Golf Course and visited Mission Point Lighthouse. So many memories made!
We love everything about this property, it's clean, roomy and has everything you need in the kitchen. This was our second year staying here and plan to come next year!
Overall experience was excellent! Property was better than advertised and lake was quiet and perfect! House was clean and had everything needed to have a good time!
Had a great time spending a long weekend here. House was perfect for kids and had all the amenities we could ever need. Also plenty spacious and very clean. Would definitely stay here again!
This house was perfect for the 7 of us. We loved fishing and boating in the lake. We loved doing our workouts in the out building. Very clean, close enough to stores and restaurants. Great time for our family.
This property was awesome, to quote my 8 yr old grandson. We had a bed for each of us. Outdoor activities were wonderful. The great room was very spacious & we could all (10) sit at the table for meals. We made some good memories.
We had a wonderful time! The house was very nicec and clean. Awesome location with a ton to do within an hour of the house. The kids had a great time playing in the lake.
Took a girls trip with the family to celebrate 6 birthdays. Best time we have had together. Property fit all of our needs and had even more than we expected.
Having had other lake vacations in Minnesota and Wisconsin, this was the 1st one in Michigan. While we loved hiking at Sleeping Bears dunes and some great meals out, the real highlights were quality time as a family at this beautiful home including meals together, boating, fishing, sâmores around the campfire, family games, and much laughter and stories. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a great family vacation at the lake! Roger and Gail were so gracious in letting us use everything at the house during our stay.
Wonderful property! Amazing views and evert we needed for a wonderful family vacation. The owners checked with us before our stay to see if we had any questions and weâre in contact during our visit. Unanimous decision that we will be back.
This home is in a wonderful location. It is quiet and very private with lovely outdoor space and a great beach area for swimming. It was a perfect fit for our family of 5 and I would definitely stay here again. The owners were very responsive and helpful. 5 stars all the way!
This property was amazing! The house had everything we needed. Well stocked, clean, comfortable and beautiful inside and out! Enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboards, the firepit and the beach. The owners were super! We hope to visit again! Thank you, Gail, for a wonderful family vacation!
We had a wonderful week in this beautiful home! Everything is provided, the home is very well stocked. The lake is small and quiet. The property is immaculate. Highly recommend!
We love staying here. This is our 2nd year we spent a week. It is beautiful and fully stocked with all the you will need. The location is close to whatever activities you are looking for. Our boys caught fish off of the dock and learned how to kayak with the equipment that is provided. Great place for a family get together.
This is a great spacious property with awesome features. We were in town for a Wedding and we were able to fit many people comfortably that were traveling in from all over the globe. I would highly recommend this property.
Sweet Retreat is a delight! The house is very nice and better than the pictures! We did have a slight issue with the upstairs shower, but that would not deter me from staying again. Location is very peaceful, away from the hustle, and bustle, but close to everything!
We absolutely love the house with all the amenities! Plenty of room for everyone. Family love the lake and kayaking in the mornings while I enjoyed my coffee overlooking the lake.
We will absolutely book again. Gail & Roger were excellent hosts and extremely responsive.
The property is such a hidden gem! The house had everything we needed and then some. It was the perfect spot for our family and friends to spend time together on the lake. It was also a perfect location for exploring the surrounding areas as well. This is our 3rd year in a row coming to this house and weâll be back again. The host is super friendly and welcoming as well!
We are a family that likes to have fun. We have 2 children that have blessed us with 8 grandsons. Our cabin allows us to come together and have plenty of room to roam. We also like to share our cabin with others, we hope you have a wonderful time at our Sweet Retreat...
Just minutes from down town Traverse City. Enjoy out door concerts at the Interlochen Arts Academy. Interlochen Golf Course is just around the corner from this property. This property sits less than 1 hour between Frankfort, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, and Cadillac. Easy in and out to all.
