Enjoy Northern Michigan in Every Season

Summer brings beach days, boating, wineries, and waterfront adventures. Fall offers stunning colors and scenic drives through wine country. Winter brings peaceful bay views, nearby skiing, snowmobiling, and cozy evenings at local restaurants. Spring is perfect for quieter getaways and exploring the area before the summer crowds.

Whether you’re looking for relaxation, adventure, or a romantic waterfront escape, this charming bay-view studio is the perfect home base for experiencing all that Traverse City and East Grand Traverse Bay have to offer. It's just a quick 7 minutes to the Equestrian Festival!

New ownership, proven guest favorite! This same studio was previously hosted by our co-host Dawn with 9.8 ratings! Past guests consistently appreciated the beautiful bay views, easy beach access, convenient location, cleanliness, and comfort. Those reviews remain with the former listing and do not transfer to this new one, but Dawn continues as co-host as we carry forward the warm, reliable experience guests have enjoyed here.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.

My husband and I loved our stay here! The room was very nice and clean! Perfect location in terms of distance from downtown TC. We went cherry picking at Rennie’s, only about 10 mins away from the condo! There is also a Meijer pretty close by. The bed was very very comfortable! The view from the balcony was also very pretty. No complaints at all, the host is also very kind in communicating!

Perfect spot!

We rented the condo for a soccer tournament weekend and it was the perfect place for us to stay. Very clean and the kitchen area had everything we needed to make some food so we didn't have to eat out for every meal. The deck had a great view and we enjoyed walking on the beach and checking out the township park next door. Will definitely stay here again.

Excellent location!

Great location for a Traverse City getaway! The view of the water from the balcony is so nice, and the beach is just a short walk away. I probably wouldn't come back with 4 people again as it was pretty tight (watch your head on the lamp when the pullout couch is out), but for 2 there would be plenty of space! If you're looking for a clean location to lay your head at night, definitely consider this spot!

This was more affordable than other listings that I saw near Traverse City, and it proved to be a great value. The patio has a view of the bay and sunset, there is a township beach nearby, and it is a short drive to Traverse City amenities. We were very satisfied.
