The Cabin

About this cabin

Light-filled, cheerfully eclectic, and sitting close enough to Grand Traverse Bay that the water's turquoise shimmer fills every north-facing window — this Traverse City cottage rental delivers genuine bay views from the moment you pull back the curtains.

Inside the cabin

The living areas reveal a playful personality. A knotty-pine great room opens into a bonus space clad in fieldstone and light wood panels where a Pac-Man arcade cabinet and NBA Jam machine stand beside a ping-pong table and a high-top dining set, a rainy-afternoon answer built right into the house. The kitchen keeps things practical: natural wood cabinets, a gas range, a microwave, and a coffee station share the counter alongside a dining table that seats four, with a slider leading out to the yard and firepit circle beyond.

The bedrooms

Three bedrooms sleep six across a single shared bathroom. The upstairs bedroom is especially charming, a snug, A-frame-ceilinged space lined in honey pine planks where a double bed tucks under the pitch of the roof beside a painted blue-and-white vintage dresser. The bathroom is updated with a granite-topped vanity, dark wood cabinetry, and a frosted sliding-glass shower door.

Outside your door

A generous backyard firepit circle, ringed with Adirondack chairs on a poured-concrete pad and shaded by mature oaks, sits behind a stone-walled outbuilding. It's an ideal spot to close out the evening when the bay breeze picks up.

What's Nearby

The bay is practically across the street, and all the restaurants, wineries, and beaches that make Traverse City vacations so popular are within easy reach. Clinch Park, the Boardman Trail, and Old Mission Peninsula are minutes away.

Perfect For

Friend groups or families of six who want bay views, a retro game room to fall back on, and easy access to TC's waterfront without paying marina prices for a lakefront address.
