This was the perfect location for us to spend time in beautiful Traverse City. Extremely comfortable beds, beautifully refurbished, older home, great location all contributed to a great stay.
Clean, close to everything, easy check in and out process, everything we needed for the final leg of our trip plus snacks, cookies and coffee!!!! Wonderful!!!
The property is charming and in a great location. We had excellent communication with the owner/property manager who was very welcoming to our family. We would definitely come back if in the area again.
Such a great location! We enjoyed being able to walk to many of the places we visited. We also appreciated all of the parking and the company was great to work with.
The rental was very clean and Stacy did a great job providing instructions. There was enough parking to accommodate both of the vehicles we took and the location was a few short minutes from downtown and shops.
This was a great location close to the shopping, food, and beach! We loved all the fall decor it made it very homey inside. A nice place to stay in Traverse City for sure!
Stacey was wonderful and left us homemade chocolate chip cookies. The place was in the greatest location and was so clean and adorable! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.
This place was perfect! It was super clean easy to get into super cozy. It was a five minute walk from Starbucks, which was really nice as well. My parents enjoyed it and they’re pretty picky! Am going to recommend to all my family!
Place was extremely clean and quiet for being on a busy street. Beds were very comfortable, sheets were soft and smooth. Towels were luxurious. Would definitely recommend to others and would stay there again.
This was the perfect place for a short reunion with some old friends! The property was clean and well maintained, and location was just a short walk to the beach and short drive to the local wineries and downtown! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay :)

We are just two blocks from the beach and close enough to downtown that you can walk to shopping, bars and restaurants without having to worry about parking.
