beautiful.

The Scandinavian design of our cabins is characterized by three key components: warm functionality, simplicity, and beauty.

A man is diving off a boat into the water with his arms extended and body fully submerged, while another person is jumping off the boat into the water, all against a clear blue sky with several boats and trees in the background.

A restaurant scene with a woman sitting at a table with drinks and condiments, and a server standing nearby with a tray, inside a well-lit restaurant with large windows and a view of the outdoors.

A woman in riding gear, including a helmet, riding a brown horse with white leg wraps in an outdoor riding arena, with a large red house with white trim and multiple windows in the background, and trees with fall foliage.

A young woman with long, curly dark hair riding a purple scooterbike on a blurry street lined with trees. She is smiling and looking over her shoulder, wearing a white crop top and a blue and white patterned skirt.

A woman with long hair, smiling, sitting inside an orange camper van with a Boston Terrier dog sitting at the window.

So many opportunities to explore!

Our cabins are situated just ¼ mile from the east arm of Grand Traverse Bay (Lake Michigan) and 8 miles (15 mins) from downtown Traverse City; the newly renovated Bayside Park is perfect for a day at the beach. Or head over to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (pictured) for an unforgettable experience.

From your cabin, enjoy direct access to the Traverse Area Recreational Trail (TART) with a beautiful bridge over the Acme Creek connecting the KOTI property. The TART provides non-motorized access (bike/walk/etc.) to downtown Traverse City and beyond to the Village of Sutton’s Bay via the Leelanau Trail.

Consider these other popular attractions close to KOTI: Lake Michigan (1/4 mile), wineries (40+), golf courses (50+), ski resorts (3.6 miles), fall color tours, hiking & biking trails, and more!

“What a lovely place. Very peaceful with stunning surroundings that get showcased by the huge windows and the minimalist Scandinavian design.

Everything was great. Beds were very comfortable and everything we needed was there. Easily prepared Thanksgiving dinner for four adults.

Very nice trail adjacent to the air bnb. We had snow most of our stay which was lovely.

Close to shopping and dining in downtown Traverse City.

Stay was just perfect. I didn’t realize the calming effect the Scandinavian design (free of clutter) would have on us all.”

“A Charming and Cozy Retreat in Traverse City! This modern retreat exceeded all expectations and provided the ideal getaway in Traverse City.

From the moment I stepped inside, I was blown away by how stylish and thoughtfully designed the space was. The clean lines, sleek decor, and open layout created such a peaceful and inviting atmosphere.

It’s clear the hosts put a lot of thought into making the space both functional and beautiful.

I was also impressed with the location—just a short drive to downtown Traverse City, but far enough out to feel like a private retreat. The quiet, tranquil setting was perfect for recharging, but I was still close to all the best spots in the area.

If you’re looking for a sleek, modern escape with all the comforts of home (and then some), this place is a must. I’ll definitely be back to recharge and enjoy this beautiful spot again!”
