About the host

Meet Norm & Jody:
We love living in Traverse City and we love to travel. One thing we've learned through travelling is how much we like staying with or meeting someone who knows the lay of the land. Getting the inside scoop on a destination makes everything about vacationing more enjoyable. We hope to offer that unique experience to you!
We enjoy beach time, dining out, great music, having fun with friends, and meeting new people. Bay Town Suite/Studio is our way of creating a business that capitalizes on our interests and expertise, while allowing us the freedom to enjoy and share the beauty of Traverse City.
-Jody is a 26 year veteran middle school teacher in Traverse City. She is the "CEO" of Bay Town Suite/Studio (great summer job!)
-Norm is semi-retired and living his best life with our wonder pup Yzie. He delivers mail on Mondays, and is Bay Town Suite/Studio property maintenance, co-manager, and fixer of everything.
