We enjoyed all of the little touches to include the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. The stay was very comfortable and was good for our family of all ages.
We loved this property. It was a great homebase for all of our up north excursions! The property owner thought of everything needed for a smooth, comfortable stay.
We would definately stay here again!
Lovely upstairs apartment with plenty of space for you and your family to enjoy time in Traverse City. Conveniently located for shopping, dining and access to wine tasting on the two peninsulas. Highly recommend!
This our second year staying at this rental. The location just minutes from downtown can't be beat! Clean, adaptable sleeping arrangements, and great support from the owner. I'm already looking forward to booking again next year!
All the thoughtful extras really made this one of our best rental experiences ever! We were so comfortable and cozy in this little apartment, complete with fall themed decor. Highly recommend!!
Cozy upper level apartment, 2 spacious bedrooms, several skylights that add a nice ambiance to the rooms, not to mention the sweet treats awaiting us upon arrival….everything you could ever ask for!! Location was near restaurants, beaches, wineries and shopping. Had an enjoyable stay!
Stacey did an amazing job of communicating, responding quickly, and making the whole process smooth. Her attention to detail in the property was exquisite, from the coordinated decor, to property and local info, to supplies and amenities in the apartment. Highly recommend!
While located close to downtown and main drag, its tucked away nicely for easy access and a quiet environment. Our unit was spotless, Stacey was great to work with, and all of the details before and within the unit were well defined and easy to follow. Great option instead of a hotel and will be looking to book again for future travel.
Everything was exactly like described, and so much more. This rental is extremely clean and inviting to anyone that wants to explore Traverse City. Great location to everything. The owners are AMAZING and will make sure that you have everything you need to enjoy your stay.
I would give it 10 stars if i could!
We wanted to stay somewhere close to the wineries for our girls trip. This location was the perfect spot for us! It was everything the write up lists and more! It’s the little things they provided that made our stay that much better. Thank you for making our vacation even better!
This was a great place,close to everything, spotless clean, easy access.Stacy thought of everything you may need. Coffee,homemade cookies, snacks, breakfast items, and water. I have stayed here before and will stay again
Property was super clean and close to amenities. Nice kitchenette and bedding. Would have liked some luggage table in the bedrooms to hold belongings. Hooks were great but needed a place to place belongings. despite that suggestion, it was a great place to stay!
We decided to make a stop over for the night in Traverse City since we haven’t been in the area in many years. We enjoyed the day visiting Suttons Bay, Northport and Leland. We were able to check in relax and then have dinner at a wonderful restaurant in the Mission Peninsula. The apartment was really convenient to all the areas.
The property was clean and well stocked with items needed! The property was close to restaurants and shopping downtown. Despite road conditions for construction, it was still really easy to navigate. Actually gave us the opportunity to see the gorgeous houses on the side roads! Loved this place and will come again. Also really spacious if there were more of us!
I booked this rental my family and in-laws. From the start, my situation got complicated but Stacy was so helpful and accommodating. The location is less than a mile from downtown Traverse City and 3 blocks from a great small beach and playground -the location is perfect. I would recommend to anyone, maybe not with the whole extended family next time 😉
