Very clean and exactly as described. The perfect size for our family of 4. About a mile walk to the center of Traverse City with plenty of restaurants even closer.
Excellent stay! Great location, simple but well appointed unit, and easy parking! Very responsive and gracious host. This is our second time staying in the unit and we will return if the opportunity arises!
We really enjoyed our stay at Stacey's TC place! She provided a number of thoughtful amenities starting with the welcoming cookies, waters, breakfast/coffee assortment, and pre-packed beach bag. The place was very clean, comfortable beds, and centrally located to everywhere you would want to go. I would recommend exploring the Sand Dunes hike and Torch Lake. Overall, we loved our stay in TC and Stacey's place was the perfect spot. We would stay here again!
This two bedroom apartment was clean and provided everything and more for my mini vacay getaway. The host was so nice and provided treats and local snacks along with a nice welcome letter. The location was great with a 5-7 minute walk to lakefront, brisk 25-minute walk to downtown, and a 20 min drive to the vineyards and lighthouse. Would highly recommend booking from this host again.
This was the perfect location for us to spend time in beautiful Traverse City. Extremely comfortable beds, beautifully refurbished, older home, great location all contributed to a great stay.
Very clean, spacious for two people, nice quality sheets and towels.

The apartment was well planned for our needs, very comfortable bedrooms, exceptionally stocked kitchen, bathroom accessories awesome. We were able to park very close to our entrance making it easy to transport our bags. I can't say enough about how wonderful our host, Stacey, was. From our first contact after booking our vacation all the way through our stay, she answered every question we had very quickly.
The property is charming and in a great location. We had excellent communication with the owner/property manager who was very welcoming to our family. We would definitely come back if in the area again.
This was a great location close to the shopping, food, and beach! We loved all the fall decor it made it very homey inside. A nice place to stay in Traverse City for sure!
Such a great location! We enjoyed being able to walk to many of the places we visited. We also appreciated all of the parking and the company was great to work with.
Clean, close to everything, easy check in and out process, everything we needed for the final leg of our trip plus snacks, cookies and coffee!!!! Wonderful!!!
Stacey was wonderful and left us homemade chocolate chip cookies. The place was in the greatest location and was so clean and adorable! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.
Second time we have rented this property. Love that we can walk to ice cream, food and the beach and everything is super close.
