About this property
Beautiful Victorian Home Close to beaches-Close To Downtown/Shops/Restaurants
1896 Victorian home, completely remodeled for today's comfort, but the historic charm remains. For your peace of mind, we take our cleaning seriously. Nice front lawn for the kids to play or to spend relaxing evenings with a glass of wine. Central location within a few blocks walking or biking distance to West Bay beaches, Downtown Traverse City, TART Trail, the dog park, and the Historic State Hospital grounds. Conveniently located near West Side Beverage, known for their vast selection, Slab Town Burgers, and a brew pub opening across the street in the summer of 2022.
The two story house features a great kitchen, stocked with any tools you may need, including a gas grill on the deck. The three bedrooms all have wall-mounted flat screen TVs with comfortable beds (queen, queen, bunk bed with a full below, twin on top plus a pull-out twin trundle). The living room couch is a super comfy sectional. There is a beautiful full bath with a double vanity, rainfall shower, soaking tub, plus a half-bath upstairs. Other amenities include cable, WiFi, full-size washer and dryer, central air conditioning, a full-basement with a work-out area, and private parking. Great for families! Great food, great shopping, and fun entertainment. We do have a three night minimum stay, except in our high-demand month of July which requires a six night minimum stay.
We do welcome one dog with an additional fee of $25 per night. You must check the pet box when booking. We are on-sight owners and if you bring a dog without checking the box, the price doubles. We understand the desire to have all of your family members with you on vacation, but there is additional wear and tear, extra cleaning, and yard maintenance required.
Please know that we have added two additional rental properties right next door that can be found at VRBO 2204221 and 3954989. These beautiful condos are each 1300 square feet with spacious two-bedroom, two-bath open concept floor plans. They both have a large, 12'x12' covered balcony for enjoying a cocktail or two:)

We (4 adults, 1 toddler, 1 dog) had a wonderful stay at this home over Thanksgiving! This home literally has everything you need, and then some. It’s in a great location with several restaurants nearby. The hosts very quickly handled clearing snow, which was a level of service I don’t often see in rentals - so appreciated! Highly recommend this home!
This is a lovely home away from home. The kitchen is really well equipped for those who want to make family dinners and breakfasts and all the rooms are comfortable. We found the location to be prefect for us—walking distance to the gorgeous lake and, in the other direction, to good restaurants, a grocery store and a CVS. There's easy access to everything you need and the owners of the home are friendly, too!
Our family of four had a great stay. The house has everything you could need for a comfortable getaway. Great location — walkable to coffee shop, brewery, burger joint.
This was our second time to stay at this home and it was just like the last, perfect! Clean, well stocked, great location, we will definitely be back again!

About the host
Hosted by Tom and Jennifer
Our family has thoroughly enjoyed meeting our guests and sharing stories. We love that they enjoy the area, our convenient location, and the peaceful neighborhood setting. When families are able to enjoy their vacations together and create wonderful memories, we know that we have done our job well.
Why they chose this property
This house was built in 1896. It originally faced West Front Street. However, when Oleson's grocery store wanted to expand their offerings across the street, West Side Beverage (established in 1945) was asked to vacate their building. They moved across the street where this house used to sit. A "modern" block basement was built and the cranes drew the neighborhood kids to watch as they lifted the house, spun it, and placed it in its new location. We purchased the property in 2013, took it down to its studs, lovingly stripped its original woodwork, uncovered pine and maple floors, and restored its charm. The yard was next where perennials were chosen with care and the old chimney bricks were repurposed as a patio. We love sitting outside on summer nights with the kids playing in the yard, waving at the neighbors, and talking about the favorite parts of our day.

What makes this property unique
Location, Location, Location! Great neighborhood for walking the dog to the nearby dog park. Friendly neighborhood atmosphere. West Side Beverage is right out your back door and now serves amazingly delicious pizzas and sandwiches on top of their huge selection of libations.
