Great property at a great location. Everything was as advertised, and we had a great stay right downtown traverse city. We’ve always loved coming to Traverse City and this property was a great alternative to the very average hotels in the area. Everything was super clean and the owner was very responsive before and during our stay.

Great location in downtown traverse city

The property was new, clean, super convenient, close to all things downtown. Management was very responsive and overall great experience. Our only confusion was we thought we booked 4 bed / 4 bath condo. Actually it was 2 separate condos with 2 bedrooms/ 2 baths. Not a big deal for us but could be for a family with little kids. Overall - very good experience- thank you!

We are a family of 8 and we rented both units together. Great location to Front street and the beach, both are just a short walk. New construction townhomes with awesome roof top balconies. They were clean & comfortable!All though the having to go outside to get to each others place was a little inconvenient we knew that prior to booking. Would totally stay here again!
