Very nice condo. Decorated nicely. We appreciated that there are 2 couches in the sitting area. Some places only have 1 which isn’t as comfortable when you have more than 2 people. Well-stocked which we appreciated! Just a few minutes drive to downtown Traverse City. Close to the Filling Station restaurant.

Long Weekend Getaway

This property was amazing! Perfect for a family of four (two young adult children). The interior seemed updated, fresh, clean, and extremely comfortable. The owners thought of everything to make this cozy home extra relaxing. Plus, the location was terrific. We rented bikes from the bike store right around the corner and could easily ride bikes to downtown Traverse City, beaches, marinas, restaurants, and beautiful trails. We would definitely recommend this property to others and hope to return someday soon to explore more of Traverse City and Northern, Michigan.
