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.

Our Commitment

    “Our family had a wonderful week together! The property is SO well appointed! We lacked nothing. Lauren and Tom were great hosts — super responsive when we had questions. We will be back!!!!”

    Anna – June 2026 – 3 Cottage Retreat

    “Excellent location in a very beautiful neighborhood with gorgeous woodsy surroundings and easy access to the beach. Our family of 5 stayed here and would love to return. Plenty of space and the home is very nicely redone with comfortable bedding and furniture.”

    Julianne – July 2026 – The Bou

    “The perfect place for two couples in Traverse City. Extremely clean and beds were super comfortable. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we’ve encountered which made cooking meals a breeze. We really enjoyed the indoor fireplace and hot tub on the porch.”

    Kristen – April 2026 – Oneida’s Chalet

    “The cabin was very clean and cozy, and we made frequent use of all the outdoor amenities — charcoal grill, hot tub, and fire pit. We particularly enjoyed the proximity to the Tart trail — we were able to rent bikes and easily explore much of the area that way.”

    Kimberly – July 2025 – Leland’s Cottage

    “It really feels like a cozy cabin in the woods, tucked away on a quiet wooded property, while still being close to everything. We especially loved using the fireplace every night after long days exploring the area. Would definitely recommend!”

    Karli – May 2026 – Esch’s Chalet

    “Probably one of my best stays. The hot tub was large, clean and in a private space and was the highlight of our stay. We loved the beautiful scenery such as the creek and bridges. The beach was only a few minute walk and the kitchen was spotless and very well stocked.”

    Eman – May 2026 – Leland’s Cottage

    “We brought our 2 year old and pup with us and the place was perfect for our needs. The dog had a great time running in the yard and exploring the woods and our daughter was equal parts terrified and enthralled with the fish in the creek. The fireplace made each morning special.”

    Molly – Oct. 2025 – Esch’s Chalet

    “Beautiful home! I loved the desk so I could work remotely! Hot tub was spectacular! I needed 3 bedrooms with 3 beds — this was perfect! Pet friendly which was so comforting. Great surroundings with woods and the river!!”

    Becky – June 2025 – Leland’s Cottage

    “We had a great stay here as part of our anniversary trip — relaxing in the pristine hot tub and curling up by the fireplace were highlights. The location is excellent for exploring surrounding areas by car or bike. We’d enjoy staying here again.”

    Jerod – Oct. 2025 – Oneida’s Chalet

    “The cabin is lovely! Very clean, comfortable and super cozy. It is well stocked with anything you could possibly need. The hot tub and fire pit are great to have and the stream out front was so peaceful. The hammock next to the stream was a great idea!”

    Estefania – Sept. 2025 – Esch’s Chalet
