Overall a fine place to stay. Quick walk to a number of great spots in TC and short drive to everything else. Space was clean and spacious enough for 2 couples and our fifth wheel.

The house was beautiful. It was close to downtown, restaurants, and Turtle Creek ball diamond. We like to cook our own food and the kitchen was adequately stocked. The two most important aspects are good beds and a clean house. This place scored top ratings on both!!

Cherry Festival 2025

We came to TC to attend the Cherry Festival, myself, my spouse, my 2 grown sons and their girlfriends. The property is on a very nice tree lined street, and within walking distance to the festival and the shoreline as well as coffee shops, CVS and restaurants. It was a great stay.

Wonderful location

On a sister trip to Traverse City, we stayed at this wonderful property. The location is great and the home was in great condition and as in the pictures. All of us would not hesitate to stay at this property again in the future.

Convenient location

It was ok. It was nice for convenience sake, as the purpose of our trip was visit family at the Pavilions. There were many cleanliness issues, some were not at the fault of the owner. So many ants, dead and alive, all over the living room. The back patio was covered in animal scat. The garbage cans were overflowing and we didn’t have anywhere to dispose of our own trash. Remember to bring your own sponge as there was nothing to wash the dishes with. They also require the renters to strip all the beds and start the washer before leaving. When I inquired about issues, I’m rather certain I was speaking with a boy the whole time - I didn’t care for that. It felt like we had to do most of the cleaning ourselves. I don’t think we’ll be staying there again.

Christmas memory

We loved the house and location, walkable to downtown and beautiful neighborhoods. Due to the timing of our stay, Christmas, was a little hard to receive responses from the management company or owner, understood. The house was very clean and comfortable. Would stay there again, hopefully in the Summer!!Thank you!

Family getaway

Nice old house. Poor A/C in the upstairs bedrooms. Beds were comfortable. Only one bathroom with shower in the upstairs a little challenging for 5 guests. There were nightly animal scratching sounds coming from the basement or garage. Noisy enough it made me think it was a raccoon. A little disconcerting every night. Otherwise a nice VRBO.

Great piece of property.

Great piece of property. We loved our stay and everything was very nice. Size, space and location were perfect. Just a few housekeeping notes. The appliances need fixing. The door on the stove does not stay closed. Someone must have stood or sat on the door. So sad when people don't respect other people's property. You are not able to use the oven without holding the door shut the whole time. The Refrigerator and freezer doors refuse to stay closed, resulting in the compressor running constantly using unnecessary energy. Leaky toilet upstairs and moaning toilet downstairs.
