Very nice condo. Decorated nicely. We appreciated that there are 2 couches in the sitting area. Some places only have 1 which isn’t as comfortable when you have more than 2 people. Well-stocked which we appreciated! Just a few minutes drive to downtown Traverse City. Close to the Filling Station restaurant.

Close to the bike trails and downtown!

This property is exactly what is displayed. 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths - excellent. We were able to park and put our bicycles in the garage. We rode numerous bike trails from this property and we were able to drive to the lake within 5 minutes. Really great location, clean and quiet. Nice balcony too.

Good central spot to explore Traverse City

Highly recommend this property. Just the right amount of space for 5 people. The lofted area perfect for our 19 year old with 2 twin beds up there. Upon arrival the property was spotless and well stocked with essentials (even Q-tips in the bathroom). The air conditioning cranked and kept place cool. Great little coffee place a stone’s throw away. We went every day! We found location prime to get to downtown TC and Glen Arbor where we kayaked. This is a foodie town! Loved it! Only drawback to this property was our Voyager van could not fit in spotless garage.

Long Weekend Getaway

This property was amazing! Perfect for a family of four (two young adult children). The interior seemed updated, fresh, clean, and extremely comfortable. The owners thought of everything to make this cozy home extra relaxing. Plus, the location was terrific. We rented bikes from the bike store right around the corner and could easily ride bikes to downtown Traverse City, beaches, marinas, restaurants, and beautiful trails. We would definitely recommend this property to others and hope to return someday soon to explore more of Traverse City and Northern, Michigan.
