I'm back from a lovely vacation. I'll be sharing some pictures during the next few days to share what we did with you. For those who have seen these on FB - sorry for the repeat!
We went to Traverse City, in the lower peninsula of Michigan. We rented the cutest little cottage. It was on a lake, about 6 miles from Traverse City, so it was quiet and peaceful but still a short drive to the city.
Here it is - not big but perfect for our stay.
It came with a fully equipped kitchen.
The living room had lots of room to relax.
The second BR had bunk beds so it would be perfect for a family.
Our room had a comfy, king sized bed.
The bathroom had a stacking washer and dryer, so I didn't have to come home and catch up on laundry.
The owners left us a sweet gift basket; wine, fudge, dried cherries, and a gift card to a local restaurant.
The side yard had this nice sitting area.
Here's the lake the cottage was on.
Not far away was a buffalo farm. They are such majestic animals!
Traverse City is a beautiful place. I enjoyed just driving and seeing all the stately homes. Most of them are very well kept up. Some areas still have cobblestone streets.
I'll end today with a beautiful sunset over the lake and more adventures tomorrow.
What a lovely cottage and a lovely setting for a holiday.
ReplyDeleteAn absolutely PERFECT place for a vacation!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed your adventures on FB, smiles. I think I have mentioned before we use to vacation in Ludington/Hamlin Lake when I was a kid, the cottage is still there too, smiles.
