About this property

Clean & Cozy - 3 BDR House - Close to Traverse City - Bay- Beach- Horse Show

This adorable house is on the east side of Traverse City nestled along miles of Grand Traverse Bay shoreline and waterfront parks in Acme/Williamsburg.

Across US 31 N from East Grand Traverse Bay, the property is conveniently located close to beaches, bike trails, restaurants, breweries, wineries, The Great Lakes Equestrian Event, the Turtle Creek Casino, Grand Traverse Resort, Elk Rapids and just miles from downtown Traverse City.

The house is in a commercial/residential area that is right off the highway and across from the Grand Traverse Bay.

Across Bunker Hill Road is a party store, hardware store and post office and a brewery. Across US 31 N is the beautiful East Grand Traverse Bay.

Also, pizza, a bar/restaurant and ice cream within walking distance! What more do you need?

There is an intersection/light with a crosswalk button that can get you safely to the other side of US 31 N where you can enjoy the beautiful waters of Lake Michigan at a small waterfront park and beach. Or walk or drive north just a ways and hang out at Acme's Bay Side park and swim there.

If larger beaches suit you, there are plenty to choose from in all directions within minutes away.

You can bike to downtown via the TART trail, Mountain Bike or hike the Vasa.

The house is also within miles of Flintfield, home to the Great Lake Equestrian Festival. A perfect location for the horse show guests.

Traverse City area is home to numerous vineyards, breweries and wineries, miles and miles of gorgeous shoreline, nationally recognized events--like the National Cherry Festival, the Traverse City Film Festival and the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival. Not to mention the breathtaking Sleeping Bear Dunes.

This is the perfect location to take it all in. Summer-Fall-Winter-Spring- there is something to do and something going on in Traverse City.

Breweries, Wine Tasting, Festivals, Skiing, Mountain Biking, etc.

Mount Holiday ski area is just a jump up the road and is a great family place to hit the slopes.

This house has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.

Two of the rooms have queen beds and the third room has two twin beds.

All of the rooms are furnished with cozy, comfortable, quality linens and bedding.

The home has a good sized, private backyard with a bonfire pit and chairs, gas grill, hammock and small bistro table and little patio. The back yard is fenced on both sides for privacy with tree privacy in the back. (but not fully enclosed)

On one side of the house is a commercial building and the other side is a full time resident house. Both separated by a privacy fence. You can even get peaks of Grand Traverse Bay from living room and front yard. Although it's not an unobstructed view....hey....its water and you can see it!

Amazing Acme stay.

We loved our stay at Carly’s house. She anticipated all our needs. The space was perfect for our group. Great location near the lake. All the extra toys to use in the garage was an added bonus. Wish we had more time to use them all. Evening live music from the restaurant across the street was lovely too. We will definitely be back!
