Really enjoyed our time here and the accommodations were perfect for our group (2 families, 4 adults and 3 children) on a getaway for New Year’s. Location was close enough to downtown and the house was quite clean and welcoming. Will definitely consider staying here again!

Perfect location
We were in traverse city for a vineyard wedding and this location was perfect! The house was walking distance to downtown and a short drive to numerous wineries. The house was very clean and well stocked/prepared. I have stayed in numerous VRBOs and was very please by the amount of toilet paper in each bathroom 😂 (sometimes it’s the little things). Would stay here again 😊

Great stay at beautiful home with intricate woodwork
My family enjoyed a wonderful stay at this property. Maggie was great to work with and always responded quickly. Home was clean and spacious but cozy and comfy. Intricate details throughout the home make it quite unique. Upstairs shower is beautiful. Bedrooms great and loved the sound machines. Mattresses were great quality and everyone slept soundly. Great kitchen for cooking. Location is not only amazing for access to downtown but equally great for chuldren. Amazing playground across the street and walkable to many great establishments. We had a wonderful time and hope to be back soon!!

Holiday Hockey Tournament
Our family of five (two adults, two older teens, and one middle school child)traveled to Traverse City from Texas over the holidays for an ice hockey tournament. This property was wonderful for our group with plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen and closets were well stocked, with all of the comforts of home (pot/pans, linens, paper products, soaps/detergents). Some of our family joined us to play board games and have dinner at the house as well. Everyone was impressed and quite comfortable. We'd all like to return sometime! I will add the space is much larger than it appears on the post. Highly recommended!

Amazing stay in Traverse City!
Wow! This place was perfect for a group trip in Traverse City. All of the hosting details were very well thought out for our stay. The house is very spacious, the beds were super comfortable and everything was really clean. This house is in the perfect location right downtown very close to Front street and the bay. We give a 5+ star and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a group trip in TC!

Family Visit
There was a problem with the air Conditioning. Property management was quick to respond. 4 stars on location because while it’s a great location with an easy walk to everything downtown, the water, and the Tart trail. It’s next to a really busy road. There will be traffic noise in the outdoor spaces and bedrooms.
