Great place to stay. Close enough to town to walk to dinner at the harbor and to the wine tasting tour pickup location. Donut shop right behind it was awesome.

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the convenient location, with easy access to town, the harbor, and even the nearby donut shop. It’s great to hear your stay was enjoyable, and we’d love to welcome you back again!
Highly recommend staying here! Troy was so easy to work with and the house was clean, comfortable and exactly as advertised.
We walked to the beach every day, and to downtown every night. We can’t wait to come back!

Thank you, Meg! I’m so glad you enjoyed the location, the home, and all the walkable fun! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We rented for a long holiday weekend for our wedding anniversary and it was perfect. Location was convenient and very quiet. We had a lovely time.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us for your anniversary! We're so glad the space was perfect for your getaway and that you enjoyed the quiet, convenient location. We'd love to host you again anytime!
We were able to check in early for a small fee, but we appreciated that option. The space is serviceable without many frills, but it is comfortable and has what you need. The rental was clean, but the building and the space could use a good sprucing up. The road outside can be noisy, so being a sound machine if you are a light sleeper. Also, the parking can really only fit one vehicle, not two, but we were able to park on the street right outside the building. The location was great and the neighborhood was adorable; quite convenient for any of your needs in town.
Very cute, and comfy! My husband enjoyed the pillows (better than most hotels). Loved Porter's Bakery next door.

Had a great experience staying at this cozy location just outside of downtown Traverse City. Was a short walk or drive to everything. It was clean and the check-in and check-out process was seamless. The property manager was also very communicative and answered all questions promptly.
The property was exactly what we were expecting based on the listing.

Thank you for your feedback! We're pleased to hear that the property met your expectations based on the listing. We hope you had a wonderful stay and look forward to hosting you again in the future!
Great location, walking/biking distance to restaurants and breweries in Traverse City. The bakery next door was clutch! We loved being about to walk to the waterfront on Grand Traverse Bay (about 10 minutes), as well as restaurants in the nearby Oakwood neighborhood.The property is well-maintained, clean, and cutely decorated. We have an older pup, and the steps to this unit were a bit steep for him, so next time we'd opt for the first-floor unit.

Thanks for the thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the location, decor, and nearby spots—especially the bakery! Noted on the stairs for your pup, and we'd love to host you in a first-floor unit next time.
We loved this cute and quaint apartment. It was clean and nicely decorated. The apartment was clean and quiet. There was not adequate parking however, there was street parking extremely close so it was not an issue. Thank you so much! We would recommend this place for any small family! Wish we could have stayed longer!

The place was as shown but parking is an issue. There was no allowed overnight parking on the street in the winter and we had to pay 16.00 to park in a public structure 10 minute walk. This should be clear at the time of the booking or I would have choose another location

Thank you for your feedback, Lisa. I'm sorry to hear about the parking inconvenience you experienced during your stay. I'll make sure to update the listing to provide clear information about the parking situation, especially during the winter months. Your input is valuable, and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. If you decide to stay with us again in the future, please feel free to reach out, and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
My husband and I stayed for a few weeks at this property. We were able to bring along our cats which was a great option instead of putting them into a kennel during our long stay.
We enjoyed the property and didn't feel like we were travelling. There isn't a full kitchen, but with the toaster oven and microwave, you can easily prepare simple meals. Plus there's the added bonus of Family Fare across the street for supplies.
I give 5 stars to the management company. I had to extend my stay. Management easily made that adjustment with very little effort on my part.
I would happily stay at this property or others they run in TC.

The property was very clean and well supplied. However, the upper unit has very low and angled ceilings and it is not possible to get out of bed and stand up, for example. Although the unit is updated, it still feels dated. For over 500 per night this was very overpriced.
Totally Mis-Represented Property Rental_Property ID 2286130
Bad D Grade. Troy the owner didn't respond to questions in an orderly fashion leading up to our rental. I questioned him on the fact that previous renter's said the Ice maker didn't work. Ice was needed and he replied it was investigated and fixed. It wasn't fixed and produced no ice. Why he had to purposely lie about this is beyond comprehension. Place was still under remodeling as the extra cupboard was below standard kitchen countertop. And then there is the issue of such a low ceiling we bumped on heads just about everywhere, except the bathroom. What a travesty. I'd like some kind of refund. I wouldn't recommend this Property to anyone.
The apartment was clean and location was great. An amazing bakery next door and a grocery store one block away, making it easy to keep necessities stock. The TART trail system is just one block away and can be used to access areas of interest by walking or bike (beaches, downtown, marina, other towns). Area was safe for walking, even at night. It is an upstairs apartment so there are stairs to climb. There isn’t an area for sitting outside. But there is so much to do in Traverse City that we didn’t miss the outdoor space. Enjoyed our stay.

Misleading
Unbeknownst to us, there was only one parking spot for two units, available on a first come basis. The other renter rarely moved its vehicle. Consequently, left to our own devices to find parking. Despite paying a substantial cleaning fee, host demanded that you strip the bed, start the dishwasher, and take out the trash. There are very few places you can stand in the unit without hitting your head. The A/C does not effectively cool the bedroom. The ice maker did not work. It is located much farther from the city center than represented.
