Hi Jeffrey, Glad you enjoyed your stay at our condo in Traverse City. Yes there are steps, but the reward once on the rooftop deck viewing Lake Michigan and downtown Traverse City is pretty sweet!
Beth, Owner
TC BAYView&Town2
The location of this condo is perfect—close enough to downtown for an easy walk to shopping and restaurants but a little removed from the worst of the noise and congestion. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The rooftop patio and garage are nice pluses. Lots of steps, but they provided much-needed exercise after all of the great food and drink of TC.

Great property for walking to restaurants and shops. Rooftop patio was a great place to unwind with a cocktail! Cute, comfortable place for a girls' weekend. The condo has LOTS of steps- up from the garage, up to bedrooms and up to patio. If you can't do stairs, this is probably not a good place for you.
