Schooner House was great!

Our group (a curling team of four adults) stayed for a week at Schooner House, and thoroughly enjoyed our time in this great space!Bedrooms are quiet, neighborhood is nice, and it’s easy to get nearly anywhere. Food and coffee options are plentiful, and I’m sure this place is hopping in the summer!Highly recommend!

This was a fantastic place to stay in Traverse City. The location was a very reasonable walk to downtown. The house was in great condition and was one of the first rentals I have stayed at that was well stocked with toilet paper and towels. The host was very responsive and the whole process was very enjoyable. I certainly recommend it here.
