Hakala Hills Retreat
Tucked up in the trees in a quiet area, Hakala Hills Retreat is a great location for a relaxing stay. Located just a few miles out of downtown Traverse City, this place is close to everything. This lovely four-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin welcomes up to 10 guests.
The open-concept kitchen gives way to the dining and living room area and is a great place to cook, eat, watch TV, or snuggle up in front of the fireplace. There is one bedroom on the main level, one in the basement, and two upstairs.
The deck off the living/dining area is set up for grilling and relaxing in a peaceful, wooded setting. In the yard, you will find a fire pit.
This area is a quick drive west to the downtown area of Traverse City, heading north and east to Williamsburg, Elk Rapids, and beyond. Turtle Creek Casino is an easy trip from here. East Grand Traverse Bay and the state park are just minutes away, with several public beaches to choose from. There are plenty of food options nearby, as well as shopping and much more! The home is just 7 miles from the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival location.
Pets are allowed with a fee.

Thank you for reviewing this property. We are pleased to know that you would return to this property. We will follow up on the grill issues. While we would love to, at this time we do not supply firewood or grill starters to our properties. We do indicate this in our guest rental agreement.Review of visit
