Perfect Location and Great Property

My girlfriends and I came to Traverse City for a girls getaway weekend and the location of this property was perfect for us to walk everywhere! We felt safe with the lock pad, and the house was well decorated and clean. Very much recommend for anyone who wants to be able to walk downtown and still be close enough to the wineries to shuttle.

So close to Front street

We stayed in here May 2025. 5 sisters, in our 50s and 60s. When we arrived the place was very clean and tidy. With the arrangement of the bedrooms, we each had our own bed (which was great). I didn't think it would be a great idea for all 5 of us to share 1 bathroom but thats what we did as kids and it worked out great. This wouldn't have worked if it wasn't for the sinks in each bedroom. This made the house much more doable when we were all getting ready to go in the morning. The kitchen is small but workable as is the lower sitting room. We used the upstairs living room just because we thought it was more comfortable. We also sat out on the front porch every evening. The table and chairs out there made it very comfortable. There are several suitcase holders in each room (thank you!) and lots of clean towels, washcloths, and hand towels. The location is perfect. We could walk down to front street for restaurants and shopping. It’s even walkable to the beach. There is a small bar a block away as well as a BBQ restaurant. Both were lots of fun and good food-try the pickle pizza! Overall this is a great place to stay.

Perfect TC group stay near downtown

This place was perfect for a girls’ weekend in TC. The location can’t be beat if you want to walk to downtown from a place large enough to accommodate a group! Bedrooms are set up perfectly, and although we questioned whether just one bathroom would be enough, it’s a large bathroom and there are a TON of mirrors for us all to style our hair and do our makeup! Kitchen was stocked with coffee and ice (thanks, Lee!) and the table was enough to comfortably fit us all. Note: it was a hot weekend and took us a minute to figure out to turn on the upstairs a/c (our fault for not reading the very clear instructions next to the thermostat). Turn these on during the day, but off at night- the bottom level thermostat has an automatic setting that turned on heat at night if the upstairs units were left on full force! The many fans were perfect for circulating the air. Lee was super responsive and helpful, and made our stay easy. 10/10 would stay here again!

Perfect TC Homebase!

Property was as advertised. Excellent location within walking distance of DT TC and the bay front. We brought our (2) bikes and easily locked them on the front porch. You could easily fit 4 bikes on the porch. Lots of easy parking behind the house. 2.5 blocks from Oryana Coop! We could ride from the house and connect with the Boardman Lake bike trail or the TART trail along the bay and the Lelenau trail! You can ride all over TC. The living space was relaxed and comfortable for 5 of us, and would have worked well with one of two more. There are living room spaces on the 1st and 2nd floors. There's a TV in EACH ROOM plus both living rooms! The 2nd floor rooms each have a small sink as well. Temp control with AC and ceiling fan kept us happy and cool. One bathroom did not feel like an issue for us. The space is nicely decorated, clean and had everything we needed! Highly recommended. Excellent bang for your buck!!!

Beautiful house, walk to shops, bring your dog!

Loved the house - It’s eclectic and the layout is great for a family/group (private but open, different spaces to gather). We enjoyed the covered front porch, relaxing with our adult kids and our dogs. The walk to Front Street shops and restaurants is quick and easy, and the house is in a quiet area. Lee is available by message and quick to answer any questions. Definitely recommend it for a Traverse City getaway!! ❤️

Good location

Easy walk to restaurants and downtown area, nice front porch gathering area, easy parking for a couple of vehicles in the back, a little beat up inside, spaces inside are small, sinks in each bedroom make up for only one main bath, expected a little bit nicer from the pics and write up, would look at other properties at the same price point before returning to this one

Geezer post-vac get-away

We had a great experience! The location was perfect for walking outdoors to local establishments, and was an excellent size for our group. We loved the extra sinks in bedrooms and the big front porch. There was more than adequate parking in the back, and in fact we did not use any of our cars during our stay. Lee is a great host and was easy to communicate with. Her property was well-maintained and comfortable😀😀

Excellent location!

We had a group of 6 adults during our stay. The house is cute and we had plenty of room with two living areas. Plenty of towels and pillows were provided. The location was great for walking to restaurants and bars downtown - it was nice to park our cars in the lot and not worry about them. While nothing was particularly dirty, we all agreed the house could use a deep clean. The bed on the first floor was a bit wobbly/unstable for two people, but fine for one. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

Adorable house and very close to town!

My family and I stayed here for a long weekend and it was the perfect place for a Traverse City weekend. Downtown was a quick 5-10 minute walk away and the house is even more lovely in person than in the pictures. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent location, needs work

This house has an outstanding location for exploring downtown Traverse City. Felt very safe and has off street parking. Front porch is nice. Seems that it would be great for a group with plenty of sleeping but only one bathroom. Bedroom on main floor has full bed in small room which isn't ideal for a couple. It is definitely in need of a thorough cleaning and touch-up painting. The obvious need for cleaning made us less comfortable staying during Covid.

Downtown right near it all. Just needs to be cleaned.

Cute little home right near Old Town. Watching the sunset from the front porch was a treat. The beds were very comfortable. There are 5 double/queen beds. Lots of sleeping capacity. But, there is only one bathroom. There are sinks in the two bedrooms upstairs. The interior layout is quirky. The living room with seating is upstairs. The laundry room is part of the first floor 2 person media room. TV's everywhere. If it was professionally cleaned and the garage sale dinnerware was replaced with hygienic equipment we would feel much better staying here in this era of Covid-19!
