About this property

The Townhouse in the Heart of Traverse City

Summary:
Fantastic Traverse City location! This spacious, bright, and charming 2-bedroom townhouse condo is just off the main strip, within walking distance to everything: restaurants, bars, local shops, beaches, kayak and SUP rentals, a movie theater, walking and biking trails, and festival events. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing meals if you prefer dining in. The condo also includes a laundry area. Enjoy free, secure parking in the private, attached garage, which comfortably fits two smaller cars.

ALL guests must be 25+ unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The Space:
Main Floor- Living room (with TV) dining area, open full kitchen, half bathroom.
Upstairs: The primary bedroom has a King bed, full bathroom, large closet, and TV. The guest room has a Queen Bed and full bathroom attached.
Laundry on 2nd floor.

This townhome is 1,560 square feet.

Guest Access:
Guests have access to an attached garage.
Access to the garage can be a tight turn, and some guests have found it difficult to navigate a larger vehicle into it.

The Neighborhood:
State Street is a main east/west corridor through downtown Traverse City, and you'll be right there.
If you walk south on Boardman Ave, you hit 8th Street and a newly developed area of town called NOBO (North of Boardman Lake)
Breweries, shops, TC Public Library, bike shops with rentals are this way, too.

Great townhouse in a great location

We loved our stay! The property managers were friendly and communicative. They sent us all kinds of helpful info before our stay and we had wine and coffee waiting for us upon arrival. The location is fantastic; just a block from the heart of Front Street. Can’t recommend this VRBO enough
