We stayed for six weeks while our daughter was at a nearby camp. We had a great time. The unit is as advertised. The owners are wonderful to work with. The location is right on a great walking trail. It is a couple blocks from a few terrific breakfast, lunch, coffee and dinner places. The waterfront and the main shopping street (Front St.) are in walking distance but probably better by bike or car. The location is not too close to the traffic-y areas and yet still close to the action. Highly recommended.

Nest 45

Great place, everything as advertised. Super clean, everything we needed was there. We liked the location, 5min drive to Traverse City. Grocery store was 1/2 mile away, restaurant a couple blocks away, Bryant beach is right at the end of Garfield, TART is just behind the unit. The place is close enough to downtown yet is far enough away to keep you away from all the traffic and congestion.

Quick In-n-Out

Perfect place for our quick overnight in TC. The only issue we had was the heat. It was only 60 degrees when we got in late at night - very chilly only (1) extra blanket with already thin bedding to begin with - and it took most of the night to warm up, even with the modern fireplace on. Otherwise it was great, thank you so much!

We moved our son to Traverse & had our dog

This is the second time we stayed. I think it was cleaner than the first time which we did not think that was possible! The have bags around the site for you to clean up after your animal. Very animal friendly. The owner of the rental is very responsible and positive! Very willing to help and offer any advice you might need! We highly recommend and we will be back!
