we stayed here for a bachelorette party, and the house was the perfect size for our group of 10. prime location, everything was in walking distance, and the house and yard were gorgeous. would definitely stay again!
The property was absolutely beautiful and the perfect location to explore downtown Traverse City. Steps fork downtown and the beach and a short drive to many different attractions. The property manager was easy to communicate with and made check in a breeze.
