This listing is Flat 302

Each flat is immersed in downtown Traverse City. You can walk to everything.

The corner units, Flat 201 and Flat 301 have views of West Bay down Union Street. Flat 302 has floor to ceiling windows facing Front St, the main street in downtown Traverse City. Flat 205 and 304 face west for the sunset. Flat 203 faces south and has bedrooms that are tucked into the building and show off the brick construction from 1890.

Each flat includes a fully equipped modern kitchen. We are proud to offer plush king beds adorned with soft linens locally sourced from Eelo (you can find our website by searching “Eelo Traverse City”). Eelo is owned by the Vander Roest family (one of the two families that own Front and Union) and occupies the ground floor retail space of the Front and Union building. Eelo sources, designs and manufactures its own organic, fair trade household linens. It has been reported in reviews that our linens will provide some of the best sleep you’ll ever have. The flats are fully furnished with a Scandinavian feel, functional, yet simple.

The Flats at Front + Union are located within the historic Masonic Building, built in 1890 and repurposed into a multi use building in 2023 by two local Traverse City families.

For Summer, West Bay beach, the marina and open space are all one block away. The Sleeping Bear Dunes are within a 45 minute drive.

In the Fall, enjoy a daytime color tour in Leelanau or Old Mission Peninsula followed by dinner and drinks at the famous Restaurants in downtown Traverse City.

Winter activities include skiing at local ski hills, Hickory and Mt Holiday, day trips to Boyne Mountain or Crystal Mountain, cross country or skate skiing at the VASA trail, or a simple snowshoe at Sleeping Bear Dunes.

For a real treat, visit us in the Spring. No crowds. It is a time of rejuvenation in Northern Michigan.

There is no better location for immersing yourself in all the seasonal events Northern Michigan has to offer. We invite you to visit us on our website for more information on the experience as well as discounted rates.

The perfect place to relax and unwind

The space was impeccably clean, stylish and cozy. Great landing pad to explore all the great food, shops and sights that Traverse City. This is the second trip we’ve done here, and I look forward to a third.

We loved our stay at The Flats! The space was very clean and nicely decorated. We appreciated the modern, urban vibe and the view onto Front Street was fantastic. Beds were comfy too! You couldn't beat the location and the hosts made parking and access super easy.

Perfect Flat and Location

We stay at The Flats every time we visit Traverse City. The Flats are well-appointed, clean, bright, and in a perfect location. The reserved parking space is a huge benefit in downtown Traverse City.

Beautifully designed downtown, contemporary flat for a mini family reunion.

We found 302 to be the perfect space for a relaxing three couple reunion. Spaciously designed and well equipped, from kitchen appliances and utensils to designer sheets and towels, the flat far exceeded our expectations. We especially liked being able to walk to restaurants, shops, the farmer’s market and the harbor.

Great location

This is a beautiful condo, perfectly located in an area with shopping, restaurants, and beach all within walking distance. Perfect for our family with 2 adult children. We brought e-bikes and left them locked to the back of our car without any issues. Rode the TART trail to the leelanau trail to Shady Lane winery and Hop Lot Brewing Co. Communication was fantastic and we very much enjoyed our stay!!

Gorgeous rental in the most superb location in Traverse City

We had a fantastic mother/daughter reunion/vacation in this rental. There were 6 of us, and we all loved how the flat was well-appointed and beautifully decorated with everything we needed to make our stay feel like a home away from home. It had an incredibly cool vibe, with the vaulted ceilings and massive floor-to-ceiling windows that let beautiful light in throughout the day. The bedrooms were comfortable, dark, and quiet. The remodeled bathrooms were spa-like. I do not think you could have a better location to all Traverse City has to offer. We were in the heart of it all and just a short walk away from entertainment, restaurants, bars, and shopping! The owner made check-in/check-out easy, suggested information and activities for us to enjoy during our stay, and was lovely to communicate with. Thank you!! We hope to return soon!

Spring Weekend in Downtown TC

The Flat's location is exceptional for walk out the door access to shops, restaurants and a short walk to the beach. The flat was incredibly clean and fully functional. The beds were very comfortable. Remember to bring the passwords to your internet TV accounts (Netflix etc.). Elevators made it easy to get luggage to the third floor.

Perfect Condo, great location

This condo is fantastic! Beautifully decorated, very comfortable, excellent location! We stayed here with 6 friends for Toast of the Season. We especially loved the mattresses and bedding, super comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need. Being located in downtown TC walking distance to all the shops was ideal. Would definitely book again!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Vander Roest

Host profile image
The Masonic Building was built in 1890 by the Freemasonry. The character of the building had been covered up with decades of drywall and carpeting. In 2023, Front + Union was formed by two local Traverse City families and they began repurposing the property as a boutique hotel and multi-use building. All of the character of century old brick was uncovered wherever possible in the hallways and rooms. The interior was divided into 6 Flats that have a Scandinavian minimalist, yet luxury feel. The ground floor features the store, Eelo.

Why they chose this property

Front and Union developed the Flats to be the best luxury stay in downtown Traverse City. There is nothing like it. One step out the front door and you’ll find yourself immersed in the world famous Front Street scene. Everything downtown Traverse City has to offer, restaurants, nightlife, marina and beaches are just a block away.
