Clean, comfortable and stocked with little extras, this house is close to everything from vineyard tours to snow skiing and all the great restaurants and shops on Front street. We had a blast and can’t wait to go back!!

Fantastic

The property was great for a family or 2! King beds in all rooms and plenty of bunk beds for kiddos. Great location as well and you can beat summer weather in TC!

Ringing in the New Year as a Family

This was a great combination of cozy gathering spaces—kitchen table big enough for a large family to eat and play games and enough seating for everyone to watch a movie—and beds for everyone to have a space for themselves to regroup. Location was great for a quick trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Penninsula Park and walking distance to grocery to get supplies we forgot. Would definitely recommend!

Great place

We had a great time visiting Traverse City for the weekend. We searched out a place large enough for our family of 6 that also had a hot tub and came across this gem! Loved the decor of the house, very modern and up to date. Very clean and had all the amenities. We were also welcomed with a complimentary bottle of wine! Across the street was a grocery store, which came in handy! We’ll definitely head back to this house when we visit again!
