Great Place and Location!
We had our baby early on vacation and needed a place to stay for a few weeks. The staff was amazing and this place was so great! It’s walking distance of so many great restaurants and the lake! We’d highly recommend!
Perfect location to enjoy July 4th parades, Cherry festival, shopping, restaurants, and fireworks. The unit was beautiful and stocked with comfortable towels and bedding. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, and cleaning supplies, just right for the weekend.

Great location!
We came to TC for a quick visit with our extended family and found the location perfect for everything we needed - Front street restaurants and stores, Clinch park beach and walking path and a short drive to see relatives. We enjoyed the updated flats and really appreciated the quick response time for our questions from Steve!
This was perfect for our family of 4 and older parents. The unit had everything we needed to have some meals together instead of eating at restaurants for meal. The hosts were responsive, courteous, and friendly. The location was great for shopping, meals, and bars. The parking was so helpful. We will definitely book again for our next visit.

Lovely Flat and Perfect Location
So glad we booked at Flats at Front and Union. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, our flat was perfect in every way! Beds and pillows were amazingly comfortable. We were able to walk everywhere and also had a very convenient parking spot. Now when we stay in Traverse City this is the only place we’ll be staying! Highly recommend.
Absolutely adorable and clean stay. Rooms were so cozy and dark for nighttime. Bathrooms were clean and fully stocked. The towels were so soft and luxurious and the comforters were dreamy. Lots of bedding and towels, never had a need for anything. There were even extra batteries for the remote when it died. Great location in the center of it all. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Steve Vander Roest
The Masonic Building was built in 1890 by the Freemasonry. The character of the building had been covered up with decades of drywall and carpeting. In 2023, Front + Union was formed by two local Traverse City families and they began repurposing the property as a boutique hotel and multi-use building. All of the character of century old brick was uncovered wherever possible in the hallways and rooms. The interior was divided into 6 Flats that have a Scandinavian minimalist, yet luxury feel. The ground floor features the store, Eelo.
Why they chose this property

One step out the front door and you’ll find yourself immersed in the world famous Front Street scene. Everything downtown Traverse City has to offer, restaurants, nightlife, marina and beaches are just a block away.
