Great location with lots of walkable options for coffee, drinks and food. Off the downtown beat just enough to be an easy walk but avoiding congestion. Would stay again!

Nice House and Great Location

We had a great stay with our dogs at The Blue House. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Check-in/check-out was a breeze. And, we really appreciated the map and bottle of wine which was present upon our arrival. Would definitely stay again if we're in the area.

Great location and house

We enjoyed our stay at the blue house on Front St. The house was decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch and we enjoyed the Christmas tree when sitting in the living room to watch TV or for morning coffee. It was cold and snowy during our visit and we were nice and comfy inside. The king size bed was comfortable and we loved the location, making it easy to walk to dinner downtown or to another spot nearby.

House was drafty (I stayed during a cold spell.) Had a problem with someone parking in my parking spot. Let the host know and they reported to HOA. After a couple more days of this they said I should have it towed. I think that’s their responsibility, not a guests. House was clean.

Blues Free Weekend at the Blue House

My wife and I visit Traverse frequently and wanted to bring our parents with us for a special trip. The house was a great value at a great location with several handy businesses within walking distance. Beds were very comfortable and the area was pretty quiet, I'm not sure we ever slept so well while traveling. The house is very well kept and we enjoyed all of it.

Loved this place!!

My husband and I chose this home, so that we could bring our new little dog with us. We all loved this place. It was clean, there's plenty of places to walk. A burger joint is across the street, and downtown is just blocks away. What more can you ask. Thanks so much for this beautiful home away from home.

Overall 5 stars

Location was great. Slight sewer smell when you come in the main door. Would have loved a broom and dust pan. Had to call on second day for a plunger, supplies to keep the home clean and functioning very limited. Bed was extremely comfortable with wonderful pillows. We would definitely stay here again but would plan on bringing more cleaning supplies.

Wonderful experience

We had a great time at this beautiful, clean and remodeled home right in downtown TC. I would recommend this house to other families as well. Everything was just as described and had a really cool vibe. The outdoor porch furniture was comfortable and fun for people watching. Will be back next summer! The host was very friendly including leaving us a bottle of wine after the long car ride 😊

Blue House

Everything was as depicted online. A truly amazing base to explore all that Traverse City has to offer and beyond. Great location, walkable to downtown yet quiet vicinity. Only one minor point was the lack of bath plug with smaller children however on the plus side it got them more familiar with showers!

Perfection!

Literally perfect and better then I could have imagine! Beds are super comfortable with the fluffiest pillows. Cutest decor sets the vibe for a girls' weekend! Lots of space and yummy smelling toiletries! Close and walkable to downtown TC. Easy parking. Easy check-in and out with lock pad. My friends were all impressed by all the beautiful furniture/decor pieces. Will definently stay with Katy again!

Family Meetup

Loved the location!! 7 blocks or so from downtown. Didn't realize from the photos that there really isn't a back yard. There is a parking lot in back that has 2 spots reserved for this house. Wasn't a problem though. Sharing one bathroom for the 5 of us was a little tough but doable.

Winter break

We arrived the day after Christmas and the street near the property was so beautifully decorated with lights and had a winter wonderland effect. The house is within walking distance to some restaurants and a darling coffee shop. Of course, when you are there in the winter pack the right outdoor gear to stay warm. The TV and entertainment set up was very easy to work and conveniently located between the dining room and living area so while we played games at the dining table we could still watch tv.

3 night stay

The location of this is house is great. It’s about a mile from Great Wolf, close to downtown, and within very close walking distance to a brewery, burger restaurant, coffee shop, liquor/convenience store, CVS, and a speedway. There’s honestly everything you need within walking distance, it was fantastic. The house set up was exactly as described. More than comfortable and the host was extremely quick with all communication. It’s been mentioned in several reviews, but no bathroom on 2nd floor, which wasn’t a problem for us, but the stairs are fairly steep with it being an older house, so I could see them being more difficult for older families or people with any mobility or vision difficulties. 10/10 recommend

Great Location

This house is older so expect some quirkiness. The location is fabulous. It was within easy walking distance to everything Traverse City has to offer. There isn't an enclosed outdoor area for your pet but the neighbor was really nice to walk in and I felt safe walking at night. Bring measuring spoons and a measuring cup if you plan to do any cooking as they didn't have these items on hand. The property could also use more kitchen hand towels. The bathroom linens were very nice and plentiful. The bedding was great. I would also suggest bringing a couple throw blankets as the property didn't seem to have any. We would definitely rent here again despite it missing a couple things. It was a lovely stay for us and our pup!
