We love the TC Bungalow!
This is our second time staying with Adventure North in Traverse City and we hope to be back every year if we can!
This is one of our all time favorite vacation rentals. The owners have thought of everything, and Shawne is always so helpful.
The sauna, cold plunge and hot tub and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Even better if your getaway includes a triathlon!
Even better than the first time. This place will always be our first choice to stay in the TC area. Peaceful, restorative, and 5min from any and all activities.
This bungalow is amazing. Everything is as described and details marked around the home for easy use of all the amenities.

Welcome! We’re Dan and Lisa Brady, lifelong Traverse City locals with a passion for sharing the beauty and adventure of northern Michigan with guests from near and far. Adventure North Vacation Rentals is a true family-run operation that we manage personally with the help of Dan’s sister, Shawne, as well as Lisa’s parents and brother, Andy. Together, we are dedicated to warm hospitality, quick communication, and creating memorable stays that bring people together.
