Family getaway

This property was great! Super easy to find with awesome directions given by the host. It had everything we needed and then some. My kids loved the fact that they had a good selection of board games to play as well, that was a perk! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a convenient stay just outside of downtown traverse city!

Had a great stay

The place was great for us. Roomy, clean, quiet. It's close to TC and all it offers, but out in the country. Just realize that this is an 2nd story apartment, and you need to climb a flight of stairs to get in.

We came a long way from home to stay at home! Hilltop Hide-A-Way was perfect in every way. Gorgeous views, super comfy beds, all the amenities we needed and proximity to all the wonderful sites of Traverse City were superb. John checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Absolutely fantastic stay at John’s property! From the start, John was a great communicator, making the check-in process smooth and hassle-free. The home itself is incredibly cozy and impeccably clean, providing a perfect retreat. The location is ideal, just a short drive to downtown Traverse City. This place is a must-stay for anyone visiting the area! Highly recommend.

Hilltop Hideaway was just right for our family!

This place was great! It had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, the deck was great for chilling out and the kitchen had everything, including everyday spices. The location was perfect! A few minutes away from a grocery store and only another few minutes away from downtown. Even though it’s above the homeowners garage it felt private. The entrance was on the opposite side of the house and host was super responsive to our questions. I would definitely stay again!

Cozy place and nice location

Another mom and I stayed with our girls for a softball tournament over the weekend. Great location, it was especially nice not being in a loud hotel. 10-20 minutes from the ball parks we played at and close enough to town we could spend some time there before afternoon games. Owner checked in via text to confirm all was good, friendly interactions and answered all questions.

About the host

Hosted by John B

Host profile image
Growing up in a beachfront town, he loves to swim and spend time playing beach volleyball.

As a high school junior he jumped at the opportunity to work on the beach for a local jet ski rental eventually working his way into a management role. His passion for boating grew through his college years as he became an avid wakeboarder. John then spent several years working with families and children as a local math teacher.

This background lends itself well to the customer service, now he can frequently be seen as the morning sun rises, with a smile on his face and his toes in the sand!

Why they chose this property

This spacious 2.5 acre property has long captivated my attention. Nestled just outside of downtown it makes the perfect place to live while being minutes from everything.

What makes this property unique

Whatever season suits you there is something for everyone for almost every outdoor sport for every season. This bungalow will allow you to be close to the downtown action but not constantly fighting traffic and crowds.
