Summary: Michi's Base Camp exceeded our expectations in every way! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. You can tell a lot of thought went into making guests feel at home, from the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy living space and all of the little details throughout the property. The location was absolutely perfect—peaceful and private, yet just a short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Lake, Glen Arbor, Leland, Traverse City, and countless wineries, breweries, and hiking trails. It truly felt like the perfect base camp for exploring everything Northern Michigan has to offer. One of our favorite features was how incredibly dog-friendly the property was. The large fenced-in yard allowed our pup to safely run and play, and the surrounding wooded acreage made for beautiful walks right outside the door. If you're traveling with a dog, it's hard to imagine a better setup. After a day of exploring, it was wonderful to come back, relax by the fire, enjoy the outdoor space, or play a game of ping pong. The home was quiet, comfortable, and had everything we needed to unwind. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Michi's Base Camp to anyone looking for a relaxing Northern Michigan getaway. Whether you're traveling as a couple, small family, or with your four-legged friend, this place is a true gem!
