This was a great cottage! We were close to activities and restaurants. Truly enjoyed the city and we were very comfortable in our accommodation. The beds were cozy and the place was quiet! Perfect for a family. Thank you for a great stay!
We enjoyed all of the little touches to include the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. The stay was very comfortable and was good for our family of all ages.
Stay was great! Very central location, walkable to a lot of things and within 5-8 minutes from everything else. Beds were comfy, 1 bathroom, good size living room with dining room table, and kitchen area (no stove). Easy access, felt safe, would return again!
Thank you Stacy ~ we thoroughly enjoyed our stay; felt right at home as soon as we walked in to the unit! Will keep you in mind should we find our way back to Traverse City in the future.
We loved the property! Stacy was awesome, she responds promptly and made sure we were taken care of. Really loved our experience here and would recommend to any couple or small family.
We loved this property. It was a great homebase for all of our up north excursions! The property owner thought of everything needed for a smooth, comfortable stay.
We would definately stay here again!
Lovely upstairs apartment with plenty of space for you and your family to enjoy time in Traverse City. Conveniently located for shopping, dining and access to wine tasting on the two peninsulas. Highly recommend!
Impeccably clean, neat, and tidy. Room for myself and my three grown sons (25,23,&20) for sleeping, eating, relaxing, and having much needed family time. Everything we needed was pretty close, too. Definitely 5 stars!! Tano's right up there with our SD Vrbo stay.
This our second year staying at this rental. The location just minutes from downtown can't be beat! Clean, adaptable sleeping arrangements, and great support from the owner. I'm already looking forward to booking again next year!
We loved our stay in Traverse City! The apartment was very clean and comfy. Thank you so much!

Why they chose this property
The property has a lot of character and affords our guests privacy and space to stretch out a little after a busy day.
What makes this property unique
We have 3 apartments in one building for families or special get togethers where the group wants to vacation together but have their own space at the end of the day. All apartments have separate entrances.
We are close enough to downtown to walk but enough removed to get away from the busyness. We have lots of parking so that should never be an issue for our guests. Located at the base of Old Mission Peninsula for great wine tasting/site-seeing. Close to four sandy beaches (Bryant Park Beach, Senior Center Beach, Sunset Beach and Clinch Park Beach). In our renovation we have taken steps to ensure your safety on our property by installing hard-wired smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, sprinkler system and exterior security cameras. We have been inspected and comply with all local regulations.
