Prefect Family Retreat
5/5 Communication prior to stay was great. Everything was as expected. Plenty of space for our 4 small families. Love the bunk room. It was such a joy to sit by the water, go fishing on the kayak, and watch the kids play. Nothing like a cup of coffee overlooking the water. We had a small question about the sliding door lock, and they were quick to check it out and resolve our concerns. Check out process was the easiest I have encountered with a VRBO. Highly recommend!!

One of life’s simple pleasures- having a perfect retreat with your family. We are happy you could experience the joy of relaxing and doing what you enjoy at our home. It’s good to know you found check out simple. We work hard at not making things complicated so our guests can just enjoy themselves. Thank you for staying with us.
5/5 Rented for our annual lake trip and it was amazing. Location was great, had 2 grills so you got to choose between charcoal and gas, morning coffee on the lake was so relaxing, and my nephew loved fishing on the lake everyday. House was comfortable and everything we needed. May need to book now for next year!

Snowmobile trip in Traverse City
5/5 Perfect location for our snowmobile trip! The house had plenty of space for the 5 of us. Great amenities, comfortable beds. The heated driveway was very smart for descending the hill. We will be renting this house again next year for sure!

From the owner: "Thanks so much for staying with us, Ryan. This winter has been perfect for winter sports, and we are happy the Tibbets House could be your preferred lodging. We look forward to seeing you next winter!"
Beautiful home
5/5 We had an amazing stay. Even though there was a fruit fly infestation, the house is beautiful, spacious, and perfect for a large group. We were 11 women and everyone had enough space. We used the kayak and the firepit! The deck and two living rooms were great for gathering! Only other opportunity for improvement would be bed comfortability. Not the comfiest. Would stay again though.
