Small but super efficient in a phenomenal location. Walking distance from some of the best restaurant options in Traverse City. Would not hesitate to come back again!

Great place close to everything. Will book there again
I found that our stay here was conveniently located near town, you can walk to so many eateries and shops within the villages campus. AC and ceiling fan worked great, beds were comfortable, and I really liked the patio sitting area in the evenings.
We loved our stay! We needed a place to rest and rejuvenate after a hectic wedding week. This little space was perfect for us. Close to a great coffee shop and good food. Quiet and clean! We loved it!
Loved being able to stay in a historical location with easy access to fantastic dining.

I had a wonderful stay here! The property was incredibly comfortable, extremely clean, had everything—a perfect location, and the village is very interesting! I enjoyed walking around the village area getting coffee and dinner.
Cannot beat the location. Perfect walking distance to all the shops and restaurants at the village at grand traverse commons.The rental was extremely spacious. Make sure to pull your blinds down! Lots of beautiful natural light in the morning.
We loved our stay at this condo in the Commons. Close enough to Traverse City but without all the crowds. Great dining options. The condo itself was very comfortable, quiet and we appreciated the outside space. Would stay again.
This was the perfect place to stay for a short work conference that I attended in the area. Nicer than a hotel room and loved being able to walk around the beautiful property.
The condo was very clean and easy to access with the lock box.

Almost surreal mix of modern, historic, and natural all in one location at the Grand Traverse Commons. There's so much to soak in you don't even need to leave the property. This condo is perfectly centered in it all, and was so comfortable it was hard to leave
