Traverse City Waterfront from a Drone.

A Unique & Authentic Experience

Northern Michigan - Traverse City

Mitchell Creek Estate

Experience the Best of Both Worlds

Discover the unique blend of city convenience & nature’s charm at our truly one-of-a-kind location. Nestled less than a block away from Grand Traverse Bay & the Tart Trail. Our urban-nature setting is a true rarity, tucked away yet minutes from the heart of downtown Traverse City.

Here, the serene flow of Mitchell Creek meanders through the property, inviting curiosity and wildlife to its water’s edge. A sprawling fence spanning the estate helps retreat from the lively city, allowing for privacy and reflection among the cottage’s timeless log framework under a canvas of trees. Getting a sense of the area’s original natural wonder before Traverse City became one of America’s premier travel destinations.

    “We had our work retreat at the property with 7 couples. The cottages were perfect. Great clean spaces! Everyone was satisfied and we didn’t have a single complaint. The hot tubs are a great feature and with the cooler weather we very much enjoyed them!”

    Steve – Oct. 2023 – 3 Cottage Retreat

    “We wish we could stay longer! Needed a weekend away and what a peaceful gem. Clear instructions on location and check in. The property was just like photos and even on a rainy day it was still gorgeous. Loved the cover front porch to peaceful watch the ducks swim in creek. Great area for our dog to play and some trails for all of us to walk around. The house was up to date, clean and instructions were clear. Beds and pillows are cozy. The best was the hot tub. What a lovely treat after a fun filled day. Lauren was quickly responsive with any questions we had. Can’t wait to go back!”

    Jaclyn – Oct. 2023 – Esch’s Chalet

    “This was a great location and a very cozy stay. This cabin is especially nice if you have little ones because of the creek and surrounding area — there’s a lot for them to explore without going far. Loved having a hot tub! We would stay here again.”

    Kathryn – Aug. 2023 – Leland’s Cottage

    “The chalet was beautiful and looked completely remodeled from head to toe! The beds were very comfy, and the hot tub area was amazing (we loved using the hot tub). This was an amazing location - you can walk to the State Park beach, restaurants, and a souvenir shop. We will be back!”

    Rachel – June 2023 – Oneida’s Chalet

    “Perfect space for our small family of four. Such a peaceful place to come back to after a long day at the dunes. Would love to come back! Highly recommend for anyone that wants to be close to water and city, but also has a secluded cabin in the woods feel!”

    Jacob – May 2023 – Oneida’s Chalet

    “Perfect place, no need to look anywhere else! You are in a private setting with everything so close. Downtown, the beach, shopping, eating & Wineries not far either! We loved it and can’t wait to go back!!!”

    Misti – June 2023 – Leland’s Cottage

    “This cabin cluster worked perfectly for our large family’s up north Memorial Weekend gathering. The kids LOVED the creek. They and some of the adults couldn’t get enough of the creek. Someone was Always fishing. The trail to the state park in the backyard was convenient and the beach within walking distance was a total bonus as well. You can tell how much LOVE Lauren and Tom put into this property. They were accommodating to our group through the whole process and ultra-responsive. We would love to come back. Enjoy!”

    Julie – May 2023 – 3 Cottage Retreat

    “Book it! These pictures are great, but they don’t even do this place justice. It was in pristine condition, a fantastic location, well stocked and great amenities. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place or to rebook.”

    Mel – Oct. 2023 – Leland’s Cottage

    “Wonderful experience! The place is clean, beautiful and in perfect location You can feel the host has gone above and beyond to make it convenient and cozy- totally recommend it!”

    Zaid – Aug. 2023 – Oneida’s Chalet

    “We loved our time at the chalet. It was our first time in Traverse city and our experience couldn’t have been better. Thank you Lauren and Tom for everything. Me, my husband, and our dog Averi had a wonderful weekend! Thank you for your continuous communication to make our check-in, stay and check-out seem less. We will definitely stay again when we come back in the summer.”
