Our Story
We fell in love with Leelanau County over 16 years ago and love sharing the area with others. We have enjoyed spending time renovating and decorating these homes so they can bring joy and blessing into your life, family, friends, and marriage.
We also fell in love with hosting, and love blessing others through our homes. We started out this journey with Leelanau Therapy in 2019 and have expanded to 15 homes scattered throughout the Traverse City and Leelanau County area.
We picked strategic locations in private, quieter areas. All of our homes have at least an acre of land and are just outside of “busier” areas in Traverse City.
We have something for everyone: homes near downtown Traverse City, on or near a lake, and one that has a retreat-feel with 3 ponds and hiking trails. The homes are located near Suttons Bay, Empire, Glen Arbor, Traverse City, Leland, and Interlochen. We have mostly large homes (4 bedroom/3 bathroom) that accommodate 8-10, and two even larger homes: Lake Leelanau Therapy is a 6 bedroom/3 bathroom that sleeps 14, and TC Ranch Therapy is a 5 bedroom/4 bathroom that sleeps 12. We also built a 2-person romantic getaway barndominium, Little Traverse Therapy.
We aim to make these homes fun and refreshing. All our homes have a many of these amenities:
High-quality hot tubs that are open all year long
Outdoor fire pits with wood provided
Game rooms with ping pong, foosball, and/or pool tables
Pure Water Works water treatment systems (meaning water that is easy on hair and skin) and Reverse Osmosis drinking water systems (no need to bring bottled water!)
Fully stocked kitchens
Indoor saunas
Games and toys for kids
Indoor gas fireplaces
& More!
We love staying in these homes and think you will too! Traverse City Getaway surpassed 2000 5-Star reviews in the summer of 2025.
We would be honored to be your home away from home.
