Featured Homes
I like to refer to our Featured Homes as the "Fabulous Four"! These are the homes placed directly above, and are featured for the summer for one fabulous reason....they are all NEW homes just added to our property inventory, and many dates are still available for THIS summer. As we review all of our homes.....we are forced to chose our Fab 4, and it's a pretty tough job.
Take a moment....pick your vacation week...and grab one of these rentals before they fill up!
Try our Pennington Place cottage on Duck Lake with private frontage and dock for your boat. Located one mile from Interlochen Arts Academy, this charming cottage will be music to your ears!
Escape to the Red Cottage in Elk Rapids with direct sandy beach frontage on the popular "all sports" Birch Lake. Savor the sunset and smores from your fabulous firepit!
Play at our Condo 30 in Downtown Traverse City. This three bedroom unit overlooks F & M Park, and is directly across from West Bay. Bring your bikes, park your car this vacation.......and just "play"!

"Malibu of Michigan"
AOL Travel said the Traverse City area's "tawny beaches and towering dunes" make it the "Malibu of Michigan" in a list of "America's 10 Best Beach Towns" unveiled by the travel website recently. It's the only non-oceanside community that made the ranking that includes notable resort communities like Kennebunkport, Maine, Pismo Beach, Calif. and Boca Grande, Fla. The AOL Travel ranking also mentioned local attractions including the National Cherry Festival and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The city's downtown district is lauded for it's galleries, boutiques, and restaurants, and the piece included a "tip" about the wineries on the Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas.

Our "Nod" goes out to "Handz On Art"! A paint your own pottery studio located in beautiful downtown Traverse City, Michigan. They offer an enjoyable and friendly atmosphere to come and create works of art. There is no hourly charge so take your time, relax and have fun. You don't have to be the next Vincent Van Gogh to create "art" on a large variety of items.
Plenty of room to paint, plenty of time to spend... bring in lunch. That's right (you can)! A "must do" and great for kids!www.tchandzonart.com
Our restaurant Nod" goes to "Trattoria Stella"! Tucked in the old Michigan Insane Asylum, the ambiance is spectacular with brick walls hosting local artwork and dim lights. Great organic foods and an emphasis on local products. A Michigan wine section highlighted with servers who can speak intelligently about your choices.
Start with the scallops - seared and carmelized just "so" with al dente squash and honey-sauteed fall Michigan apples. Next, savor the creme of mushroom soup that is so earthy it tasted like the 'shrooms were just picked. Entree recommendations include the Veal Scallopini, Long Island Duck confit, and Filet. Amazingly rich yet simple. The service is attentive but not suffocating. www.stellatc.com
